Flamedramon was Veemon's very first Digivolution, achieved almost as soon as Veemon was unsealed in the first episode of Digimon Adventure 02. Davis's will to protect Kari from an attacking Monochromon initially evoked the Digi-Egg's power, allowing Veemon to Armor Digivolve to Flamedramon to destroy Monochromon's Dark Ring. After Ken renounced his evil persona, Veemon gained the ability to reach its natural champion form, ExVeemon. ExVeemon took over the role of being Veemon's primary fighting form, and Flamedramon appeared again only a couple of more times. Flamedramon made its last appearance in the Digimon Adventure 02 finale when the cast was transported to a dimension where (according to Gennai) "wishes can become reality". Here, Veemon was able to digivolve into all of its forms (except Magnamon) at once.
