Q3 Q1814
My opponent has a Digimon with an effect that reads, “This Digimon can't be deleted by your opponent’s effects,” and another Digimon with no effect (both Digimon have the same DP). Can I intentionally choose the Digimon with the effect preventing deletion for this card’s [When Digivolving] effect, in order to unsuspend this Digimon?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
Yes. When there are multiple Digimon tied for lowest DP, you can choose any of them. This means you can choose the Digimon with the effect preventing deletion to get the “if no Digimon was deleted by this effect” part of the effect.

Q4 Q1815
This card’s effect reads, “if [Gallantmon] or [X Antibody] is in this Digimon’s digivolution cards”. Does having a card with [X Antibody] in its traits count?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
No. This effect specifies a card name, so you must have a card whose name is either [Gallantmon] or [X Antibody] in this Digimon’s digivolution cards. Having a card with [X Antibody] in its traits doesn't count.
