A digimon without digivolutions is like Goku without Ki

Actually that is the general consensus but the people that doesn't know digimon (including screw attack) think Digimon need Humans to evolve and that Digievolution is just temporary, both statetments are untrue, canon wise (the anime is not the main canon). in the actual Lore  Digievolution is permanent and Digimon just need experience (data) in order to achieve evolution. You are aware that that means that every Digimon that is allowed to digivolve without a Tamer is basically comparable to being allowed to have prep time, right? Because why would a random Digimon be that close to digivolving? I mean they could use a evolved digimon, like they always use evolved pokemon, but people always use Child digimon... child  level this is  NOT thier base/natural a base state,  is like using charmander or pichu insted of Zard and pikachu in thier respectives death battles.

Besides digimon evolve in middle of combat very often in the videogames, evolving from child to edult recquieres little experience, a tought battle sometimes is enough, achieving  mega state is a whole different story.
