Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters, had been able to turn almost all the DigiDestined children and their Digimon into key chains (besides T.K & Kari; Mimi was away at the time, so she was safe also). Patamon digivolved to Angemon and joined the fight, but was easily defeated by Piedmon. After seeing T.K.'s willingness to never give up his crest of Hope finally began to glow, and Angemon finally digivolved into MagnaAngemon. Using the Magna Antidote(Japanese: Holy Disinfection) ability, MagnaAngemon was able to restore all the DigiDestined and their Digimon.

SeraphimonSeraphimon is Patamon's Mega form. Seraphimon is not much of a fighter due to his slow speed and power.

Seraphimon only appears in the Digimon Adventure 02 movie The Golden Digimentals. In this movie, Angemon fights against the evil Digimon Cherubimon.
