Palmon is a light green, plant-like reptilian creature which has leaf-like arms with purple claws. A pink tropical flower has bloomed upon her head. She has a small tail and thorns line her back.
Tanemon first digivolved to Palmon to protect Mimi from Kuwagamon. She later digivolved to Togemon when the Black-Gear-infected Monzaemon attacked them in Toy Town. Since then, she and Mimi have been good friends but Palmon often tries to make Mimi appreciate what she has. When the DigiDestined returned to the Real World to halt the plans of Myotismon, she digivolved to Lillymon when Mimi shed sincere tears for the well-being of her father when he tried to trip DarkTyrannomon in vain. Because of this new-found power, Lillymon became a needed ally in the battles against Myotismon, the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. After Piedmon and Apocalymon were defeated, the kids had to leave the Digital World. Palmon ran away into the forest, not wanting to see Mimi again - because if she did, she would have to say goodbye. As the trolley the kids were leaving in moved off, Palmon ran out of the woods, calling to Mimi, apologizing and waving goodbye.
One year after their adventure, Mimi and Palmon were reunited. Mimi gave up her Crest's power to free the Sovereigns. As a result, Palmon lost the power to become Lillymon. Two years later, when the Digimon Emperor was conquering the Digital World, Palmon was amongst the old generation Digimon to help the new DigiDestined. One such event was when Yolei, Hawkmon and Mimi were lost and chased by a Dark Ringed group of Gekomon and Otamamon in the Night Forest, with Palmon saving them. She and Mimi introduced the new DigiDestined to American DigiDestined Michael and his partner, Betamon, too. It was also Palmon who revealed that the strange Digimon attacking for no reason were artificial beings created from Control Spires. She also came to the Real World on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day she helped to gather the other Digimon who had appeared in America along with the Control Spires, receiving a power boost from one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon, restoring her ability to Digivolve to Ultimate. She was later seen sealing the Hikarigaoka Gate and in the final battle against MaloMyotismon.

The name "Palmon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Palmon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is her preferred form and the one she spends most of her time in, due to the amount of energy required to stay in a higher form.
Palmon has to disguise at one point to avoid being recognised by a Nanimon. She puts on a wig and calls herself ReggaePalmon and succeeds in fooling him.
YuramonYuramon is Palmon's Fresh form, an infant Digimon. The name "Yuramon" comes from the Japanese word "yurayura," a descriptive word meaning 'swaying' or 'shaking'. Yuramon is a small blue Digimon with cream hair covering most of her body. She has black eyes, and two long ears on the top of her head. She appears once in Digimon Adventure during a flashback where she is seen hatching from Palmon's Digi-Egg.[1] Attacks

TanemonTanemon is Palmon's In-Training form. Tanemon is a Bulb Digimon whose name comes from "tane", the Japanese word for seed. She is a cream and green, bulb-shaped Digimon with a vegetable sprout upon her head. Palmon was in this form when she first met her partner, Mimi Tachikawa. After her initial Digivolution to Palmon to help battle a wild Kuwagamon the Rookie level became her preferred form.[2] From then on, Palmon temporarily reverted to Tanemon only when she ran out of energy in a higher level and could not sustain her Rookie form. Twenty-Five years later, Mimi's son has a Tanemon. Attacks

TogemonTogemon is a large Haniwa-faced cactus with a tuft of orange hair and wears a pair of boxing gloves. Togemon's strongest attribute is her berserker rage, becoming violent in a fight. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, she is voiced by Mari Devon (US). Togemon first appeared in the episode 'Togemon In Toy Town' to fight Monzaemon and drove the Black Gear out of him. She later did the same for Centarumon and helped to fight Devimon. Togemon also fought against the minions of Etemon, Myotismon and the Dark Masters. In Digimon Adventure 02 when Halsemon sent the Roachmon Brothers crashing into the Control Spire located in the Night Forest, the damage to the Control Spire allowed Palmon to become Togemon and fend off the Roachmon before Halsemon destroyed the Spire. Togemon told Mimi that she would stay and protect the Night Forest. Later on, Palmon Digivolved to Togemon and broke the Dark Spiral off of Gorillamon after he was worn down by Michael's Seadramon. Togemon was briefly seen when Palmon Digivolved to Lillymon in New York. Togemon's name comes from "toge", the Japanese word for "thorn". Attacks

LillymonLillymon (Lilimon) is Palmon's Ultimate form. She is a child-like fairy Digimon born from flowers in bloom, possessing an unfathomable power within and able to fly with the four leaf-like wings growing from her back. In Digimon Adventure-Adventure 02, Lilllymon is voiced by Dorothy Elias-Fahn (US), and Shihomi Mizowaki (Japan). Lillymon first debuted on August 3, 1999, in the episode 'Flower Power' when Myotismon isolated Odaiba from the rest of Tokyo. During a vain attempt to fight back, Mimi's father almost got himself killed when he used a car to try and stop DarkTyrannomon. Mimi's sincere tears caused her crest to glow and Togemon Digivolved into Lillymon, who tamed DarkTyrannomon with her 'Flower Wreath'. Myotismon soon appeared and paralyzed Lillymon with his 'Nightmare Claw' attack, only to be healed by Wizardmon so she could fight in the final battle against the villain himself. She later lent her power to Angewomon's 'Heaven's Charm' technique to help destroy Myotismon. Lillymon was also a needed ally in the fight against the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. When Mimi used her crest power to free the Sovereigns, Palmon lost the power to become Lillymon, until she and the other original Chosen Digimon had their power restored to them by one of Azulongmon's DigiCores some three years later. Lillymon, along with ExVeemon, Seadramon and the rest of the American DigiDestined, managed to calm a berserk Cherrymon and round up all of the misplaced Digimon. Attacks
