WHAT WOULD EXVEEMON, ANKYLOMON AND AQUILAMON DIGIVOLVE INTO IF THEY DIDNT DNA DIGIVOLVE? WHAT ABOUT STINGMON?
The most commonly held belief is that they would still become Paildramon, Shakkoumon and Silphymon. In the anime, Stingmon, Gatomon and Angemon act as an additional power source, giving the other Digimon the power to reach it’s own natural Ultimate level. In season one, the Crests provided the additional power, but in season two, there were no Crests to do this, so the other Digimon were used. There is, of course, no special reason that Stingmon could not have used the Crest of Kindness to Digivolve on his own, beyond the fact that the writers did not want to use this idea, and maybe because Ken might have needed a Tag.
