Persona Evolutions
In the Persona games, the only Personas that are capable of evolving are the ones used by party members. The protagonist's Personas do not actually evolve during the story of the games like the rest of the party members', but there are Personas that can be fused that are considered a second evolution.
Persona 3
Personas evolve on specific in-game dates. Party members do not have access to their full skill set before evolution, except for Koromaru and Shinjiro Aragaki, whose Personas never evolve, so they always have full access to their skill set.
Party Member | Initial Persona | Second Persona | Evolution Date |
---|---|---|---|
Yukari Takeba | Io | Isis | November 5th |
Junpei Iori | Hermes | Trismegistus | November 22nd |
Akihiko Sanada | Polydeuces | Caesar | October 5th |
Mitsuru Kirijo | Penthesilea | Artemisia | November 18th |
Fuuka Yamagishi | Lucia | Juno | October 20th |
Aigis | Palladion | Athena | December 30th |
Ken Amada | Nemesis | Kala-Nemi | October 6th |
Persona 3 Reload
Party members' skill sets are no longer restricted before they evolve as in prior releases of Persona 3. Instead, evolution grants them a second Theurgy. The exceptions are Koromaru, who starts with his second Theurgy, and Shinjiro Aragaki, who never evolves.
Persona 4
In Persona 4, evolution is referred to as transfiguration.[1] Party member Personas transfigure into a new Persona when their respective party member's Social Link has reached Rank 10.
While the protagonist's Izanagi never transfigures, Izanagi-no-Okami is treated as his second Persona.
Party Member | Initial Persona | Second Persona |
---|---|---|
Yosuke Hanamura | Jiraiya | Susano-O |
Chie Satonaka | Tomoe | Suzuka Gongen |
Yukiko Amagi | Konohana Sakuya | Amaterasu |

Rise Kujikawa | Himiko | Kanzeon |
Teddie | Kintoki-Douji | Kamui |
Naoto Shirogane | Sukuna-Hikona | Yamato-Takeru |
Persona 4 Golden
Party member Personas can transfigure once more into a new, third form. This requires their Social Link to be maxed, and the protagonist must speak to them again starting in January once school is back in session.
Party Member | Initial Persona | Second Persona | Third Persona |
---|---|---|---|
Yosuke Hanamura | Jiraiya | Susano-O | Takehaya Susano-o |

Teddie | Kintoki-Douji | Kamui | Kamui-Moshiri |
Naoto Shirogane | Sukuna-Hikona | Yamato-Takeru | Yamato-Sumeragi |
Persona 5
All Personas evolve into their second forms when their respective party member's Confidant has reached rank 10. Goro Akechi is the only party member whose Persona does not evolve.
Party Member | Initial Persona | Second Persona |

Morgana | Zorro | Mercurius |

Makoto Niijima | Johanna | Anat |
Haru Okumura | Milady | Astarte |
Futaba Sakura | Necronomicon | Prometheus |
Persona 5 Royal
When viewing model sheets for the Personas in the Thieves Den, evolved Personas are referred to as "second evolution Personas" and "third evolution Personas"[2][3]. All Personas evolve into their second evolution when their respective party member's Confidant has reached rank 10. Personas evolve into their third evolution once the protagonist is approached by their respective party member in January, only if the second evolution has been obtained. The exception is Goro Akechi, who acquires his second evolution Persona automatically and can only acquire his third if the player has chosen the correct dialogue options while ranking up his Confidant and after securing the infiltration route to Shido's Palace.

Takuto Maruki's Persona, Azathoth, evolves into Adam Kadmon during his boss fight. Adam Kadmon is simply referred to as "Maruki's evolved Persona" in the Thieves Den Gallery.[4]
Persona 5 Strikers
The only character that undergoes evolution is Sophia, who transforms her Pithos into Pandora. Sophia receives an improved resistance, immediately learns Makougaon and gains access to her final skills, ala Persona 3.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
All Personas can evolve once both protagonists reach level 55, unlocking the "The Power of the Wild Card" request. After completing it, the protagonists' Personas will evolve immediately, while the other party members' will evolve upon reaching level 55.
Evolution grants each Persona their unique 4th skill. The exceptions are Zen and Rei, who are not Persona users, and Shinjiro Aragaki and Koromaru, whose Personas evolve only in terms of power, keeping their original forms.
Party Member | Initial Persona | Second Tier Persona | Unique Skill |

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth
All Personas can evolve once the party obtains the 4 Sooty Films from requests 42 through 45 and defeat every Velvet Room attendant. After defeating Elizabeth, the protagonists' Personas will evolve immediately, while the other party members' will evolve upon reaching level 55, upon the next level up if they're already level 55, or immediately if they are level 99.
Evolution grants each Persona an improved version of their unique skill. The exceptions are Goro Akechi, Shinjiro Aragaki and Koromaru, whose Personas evolve only in terms of power, keeping their original forms, and the Navigators, whose evolutions instead reduce the cost of two of their skills by 1.
