Second Stage
The second stage of a digimon is after they hatch into little puffy pink
creatures, some anyway. Like Konekomon
hatches into a little red puppy-like creature. The only attack that the
first stage digimon can do is blowing pink bubbles at the enemy called
"Bubble Blast". Picture of second stage digimon.
Third Stage
Basically when the digimon has enough energy from his/her digi-destine
or from food it has eaten it can digi-volve into
it's third stage that is little more powerful. It looks more like it's
fourth stage digi-volve but smaller and cuter. Like how Nekomon looks
her smaller version of Tategamimon. Each third stage digimon has their
own attack of their own, it could be element wise (fire, water, fish,
etc.) or if your digimon looks like a plant, anything that makes
a plant dangereous.
Example This is Agumon, his second digimon form
was Koromon, link above picture. Can you tell the difference ?
Fourth Stage
Digimon can only digi-volve when their digi-destine is in danger, all they
have to say is their name-"digi-volve to" then
their fourth stage name. They grow more powerful and take full appearance
like from their third stage. Example : "Agumon digi-volve to
Greymon".
Ultimate Stage
Bear with me there's one more stage of a digimon, their ultimate stage.
They digi-volve into their "grown up" stage but
they can do with if the crest that their digi-destine have has a shiny
tag with the symbol of the sun inside of the crest. It activates the power
within the digi-mon. But if a digi-destine pushes their digimon too far
to digi-volve to their ultimate stage they can digi-volve into evil digimon.
Example of Greymon's ultimate stage, Metal
Greymon.
