Digimon World: Dawn and Dusk/Traits

Traits are abilities that each specific Digimon has. They give the Digimon some type of bonus like additional points in a statistic or resistance to a special effect like poison or confusion. Traits are a part of what it means to be that Digimon. Because of this they can not be strategically kept after digivolving/degenerating. However this does mean when dealing with any specific Digimon you will at least be able to know what traits it has despite its training.

The amount of traits and their overall quality depend on the stage of digivolution a Digimon is at. For example a Champion will have better traits than a Rookie stage even if the Champion is freshly created and the Rookie Digimon has undergone a lot of training.
