Perhaps this might sound a little silly to ask. But what are seen as care mistakes? I don't want to always poop on the ground as I wouldn't want Sukamon to suddenly pop up in the middle of hardwork in getting digimons that require care mistakes to digivolve to. Pooping on floor, starving then.. leaving them tired... what else?

Nothing is a silly question my friend.

Care Mistakes include:

Not feeding your digimon.
Not 'sleeping' your digimon.
Letting him poop on the ground.
Training your digimon when he is tired, or has 'the drips'.
Not acting when he has 'the moth' above him.

Getting them sick is another one.

Yeah but that is the most dangerous one. You might get your digimon killed! Letting them poop on the ground is the best way to see care mistakes.

Not acting when he has 'the moth' above him.

The best method of getting a high number of Care Mistakes is feeding your Digimon less than it asks for.

quote Creator, The

What should I do when he has the moth around his head then? And when does that actually happen.. it only occurs rarely on my digimon..

Is making my digimon go to sleep when he's hungry or tired a care mistake? In other words, if his needs of feeding and resting coincides with the need to sleep,and I have him sleep, is that a care mistake?

If he/she is exhausted, allowing him to Sleep is NOT a Care Mistake.

If he/she is hungry or needs to go to the Toilet and you allow him/her to Sleep, it IS Care Mistake. Always take care of these needs before allowing your Digimon to Sleep.

I was always slightly confused about that one myself. Thank you for setting the record straight.

Another way to get rid of this fiendish moth is to praise your digimon while the moth is there, the moth only occurs when your digimon is terribly unhappy, so making it happy by whatever means necessary is the best way out.

When you let your digimon go to sleep while he was asking for toilet, he will not poop during his sleep but you will see a 'golden mountain' when he wakes up.
