Evolution

Evolution, or Transformation, is a reoccurring mechanic in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Overview

In multiple games, some demons may be able to evolve into different and stronger demons. Personas may also undergo similar transformations, though their evolutions differ greatly from how demons evolve.

Mechanics by Game

Shin Megami Tensei series

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

Certain demons in Nocturne can evolve into new demons once they reach a certain level, that being when they learn all their skills. However, this does not strictly mean that this is when they will evolve, as this is also dependent on the Demi-fiend's level relative to the level of the newly-evolved demon. If the Demi-fiend is not at least four levels below the level the demon's evolution will be, the demon will not be able to evolve. An example of this can be seen with High Pixie, who is able to evolve when she reaches level 15, but as her evolution is the level 56 demon Queen Mab, she will not evolve unless the Demi-fiend is at least level 52. When the Demi-fiend is six levels below the level a demon will be when they evolve, the player will receive transformation warnings. When the demon is finally able to evolve, the player will receive a prompt asking if they will allow the evolution to take place. If the player denies the evolution, the demon will not evolve, though the same prompt will appear the next time the demon levels up. Upon evolving, the newly-evolved demon will have their stats reallocated and will typically retain the skills of their previous form, though this will depend on the demon's inheritance type. In situations where a demon's evolution does not share the inheritance types of their previous form, the evolved demon will lose the skills they cannot inherit. An example of this occurring is with Momunofu and his evolution Arahabaki; Momunofu naturally learns Brutal Slash, a weapon type skill, but as Arahabaki cannot inherit weapon skills, Brutal Slash will be lost when Momunofu evolves. Another restriction involving evolution is fusion restrictions. Some demons will evolve into demons the player must fulfill certain criteria to unlock. An example of this can be seen with Abaddon and Aciel; Abaddon will naturally evolve into Aciel, but only after Aciel has been defeated at the Amala Temple, which lifts his fusion restriction.

Listed below are each of the demons that can evolve, when they can evolve, and what their evolutions will be.

Persona series

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.

Evolution Chart

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. 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.

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.

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.

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". 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.

End of spoilers.

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.

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.

Devil Children series

Devil Children Black Book and Red Book

The protagonist's demon Partner will evolve at certain points in the story, for a total of three times.

Upon evolution, if the Partner's current level, HP, MP, or parameters are higher than the base values of the evolved form, those will be kept. On the other hand, if the current values are lower, they will be raised to match the base values of the evolved form.

Partner Evolution

Initial	Evolved	Location
Cerberus	Death Cerberus	Win the tournament at Sand Land.
Death Cerberus	Hell Cerberus	Defeat Nagahisa at Forest Land.
Hell Cerberus	King Cerberus	Rescue Lucifer at Central Land.
Gryphon	Death Gryphon	Win the tournament at Sand Land.
Death Gryphon	Hell Gryphon	Defeat Nagahisa at Harajuku.
Hell Gryphon	King Gryphon	Rescue Lucifer at Central Land.

After reaching Forest Land, the protagonist will receive a phone call from Isis, who asks them to take care of a Sphinx. This Sphinx can evolve into a stronger form via the use of Emblems, which are found inside treasure chests in certain dungeons. After an emblem is acquired, the protagonist must take the Sphinx to a trainer, who will perform the evolution.

The evolved form will always have its base stats, even if the pre-evolved form's are higher.

Demon Evolution

Initial	Evolved	Requires	Location
Sphinx	Death Sphinx	Death Emblem	Mystic Tree Forest
Death Sphinx	Hell Sphinx	Hell Emblem	Dark Palace

By performing Pure Blood Fusion on a demon a certain number of times, that demon can evolve into a stronger form. Since Pure Blood Fusion is exclusive to Red Book, it's impossible to evolve these demons in Black Book.

If the protagonist's level is not as high as the evolved form's, evolution is not possible.

Card Games

Shin Megami Tensei Card Game

	This article is in need of research.
	Reason: Is this all of the cards?

Certain demon cards have the ability "Rank Up", allowing any card with the specified Demon to evolve into the card with the ability. When evolving, the orignal demon and its attached skill cards are sent to the Shawl, and the evolution card from the player's hand replaces it on the field. After the evolution card is placed, the player who used Rank Up will draw a card from the top of their deck.
