Here are all the benefits you can get by increasing the Bond of your Digimon in the game:

• Stat boost: As the Bond of your Digimon increases, their stats also improve.
• Stat carryover: If you De-Digivolve Digimon with high Bond, a certain amount of their stats will still carry over to their lower-level form. Then, you can Digivolve it again for higher stat values. This way, you can loop the Digivolution cycle to raise stats.
