'''Flip monsters''' (Japanese: リバースモンスター ''Ribāsumonsutā'' "Reverse Monster"), formerly '''Flip Effect Monsters''' (リバース{{Ruby|効|こう}}{{Ruby|果|か}}モンスター ''Ribāsu Kōka Monsutā'' "Reverse Effect Monster"), are [[Effect Monster]]s with the [[ability]] "Flip". They all have a [[Flip effect]], although they may also have other effects in addition to their Flip effect.
Previously, Flip Effects (as they were capitalized at the time) were a type of card effect like [[Trigger Effect|Trigger]] and [[Ignition Effect]]s, with Flip Effects being able to be identified by the text "FLIP:" at the start of the effect; Flip Effect Monsters were simply monsters that had a Flip Effect. Starting in ''[[Starter Deck 2014]]'' (in the ''OCG'') or and ''[[Super Starter: Space-Time Showdown]]'' (in the ''TCG''), '''Flip''' is treated as an [[ability]] and the word "Flip" is written on the cards' [[Type]]/Ability line.
Flip monsters usually have a low Level, and often have low [[ATK]] and [[DEF]].
== Trivia ==
* So far, there There are currently no [[Dragon]], [[Dinosaur]], or [[Fish]]-Type Flip monsters.* Flip monsters are rarely used in the anime; in the anime, prior to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]], it was legal to [[Normal Summon]] a monster in [[face-up]] [[Defense Position]], and monsters were rarely [[Set]].
* "[[Performapal Momoncarpet]]" is the only [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]] Flip monster.
* The only characters to focus have a Deck based on them is Flip monsters are (the appropriately-named (in the dub) [[Flip Turner]] from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and [[Aura Sentia]] from [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]].* "[[Cyber Jar]]", "[[Fiber Jar]]", "[[Magician of Faith]]", "[[Morphing Jar]]" and "[[Morphing Jar 2|Morphing Jar #2]]" are the only Flip monsters to ever be [[Forbidden]] (the last two only on in the ''TCG'').** 4 of the 8 members of the "[[Jar]]" [[series]] are currently Forbidden (in the TCG).
