'''Fish''' ({{Ruby|魚|さかな}} ''Sakana'') monsters used to be one of the least supported types in the game, if not the absolute least. However, with the coming of the [[Tactical Evolution]], [[Phantom Darkness]], [[The Duelist Genesis]], [[Crimson Crisis]], and [[Generation Force]] Sets, new Fish have been released that make the type drastically more playable.  Most noteworthy Fish monsters have effects that require the presence or tribute of other Fish to activate. More recently, new Fish monsters, [[Banished Fish]] have been released, adding a new playing style to Fish decks.

The idea of the Fish Deck used to be to summon "[[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]" and use his effect to summon a combination of "[[Fishborg Blaster]]"s and "[[Oyster Meister]]"s to [[Synchro Summon]] the cards required to perform an [[OTK]]. However, following the September 2011 List, this combo is no longer playable due to Blaster being Banned. However this strategy can be used with "[[Fishborg Launcher]]", but Launcher has restrictions to what can be Synchro Summoned. A newer strategy is to use the Deepsea King's effect to summon Level 2, 3, and 4 Fish monsters so as to [[overlay]] them into [[Xyz Monster]] cards that can prove to be quite difficult to summon on their own, such as "[[Number 96: Dark Mist]]" and "[[Number 10: Illumiknight]]".

'''Fish''' ({{Ruby|魚|さかな}} ''Sakana'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]. It debuted in ''[[Starter Box: Theatrical Release]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.

Since [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]] started, Fish-type monsters have started becoming more prominent. One of the main character [[Reginald Kastle]] uses a Fish Deck, and the [[Generation Force|first booster pack during the ZEXAL era]] included a lot of support cards for Fish-type monsters. The first [[Xyz Monster]] revealed and that appeared in both the Anime and Manga, "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]", is Fish-type.

== Overview ==

Fish monsters usually take the form of various fish, or sea mammals with piscine properties (usually [[wikipedia:Cetaceans|Cetaceans]] like whales and dolphins), though some other monsters also feature certain defining characteristic overlapped with the [[Sea Serpent]] Type, such as "[[Mermail Abyssmegalo]]", a Sea Serpent monster with an appearance of a humanoid shark, as well as "[[White Aura Bihamut]]", a Fish-type monster that features marine reptile characteristic that were usually associated with the Sea Serpents. Fish monsters are almost entirely [[WATER]].
  
−
Another powerful fish type is [[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua]], however this card works better in a pure Earthbound Immortal or a burn deck.
+
While there are relatively few pure Fish-centric series and [[archetype]]s, Fish monsters were historically associated with the "[[Umi (series)|Umi]]" [[Field Spell Card|Field Spells]] and were thus often shared their support with other WATER-related Types like [[Sea Serpent]] and [[Aqua]], in a similar vein to the [[Beast]], [[Beast-Warrior]], and [[Winged Beast]] types.

== Archetypes ==
+
Gameplay-wise, Fish monsters tend to have a defensive effects revolving around field control, as well as supporting other monsters on the field. Low-Level Fish monsters have effects that swamp the field to help in Summoning powerful monsters, while high-level Fish monsters usually have powerful removal and/or disruption effects that make use of the momentum setup by the low-Level members. Many later supports of the Type also introduce and make use of [[banish]]ment, banishing Fish to use them later for other effects, or dodging the opponent's effects.

Fish rely heavily on using removal to allow them to perform their OTK without interruption, and therefore commonly run "[[Trap Stun]]", "[[Heavy Storm]]", and "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]". "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]" is also commonly used to search out these cards.

Due to the degree of which Fish are reliant on "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth", they must run a tribute engine. The only truly effective one for Fish at the moment is the [[Frog]] engine, which has the added benefit of giving Fish access to additional draw power in the form of "[[Formula Synchron]]". Running a tribute engine allows Fish to take advantage of popular tribute monsters, most notably "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]".

Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth
"Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth", a Fish monster.

Fish (魚（さかな） Sakana) is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in Starter Box: Theatrical Release in the OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview

Fish monsters usually take the form of various fish, or sea mammals with piscine properties (usually Cetaceans like whales and dolphins), though some other monsters also feature certain defining characteristic overlapped with the Sea Serpent Type, such as "Mermail Abyssmegalo", a Sea Serpent monster with an appearance of a humanoid shark, as well as "White Aura Bihamut", a Fish-type monster that features marine reptile characteristic that were usually associated with the Sea Serpents. Fish monsters are almost entirely WATER.

While there are relatively few pure Fish-centric series and archetypes, Fish monsters were historically associated with the "Umi" Field Spells and were thus often shared their support with other WATER-related Types like Sea Serpent and Aqua, in a similar vein to the Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast types.

Gameplay-wise, Fish monsters tend to have a defensive effects revolving around field control, as well as supporting other monsters on the field. Low-Level Fish monsters have effects that swamp the field to help in Summoning powerful monsters, while high-level Fish monsters usually have powerful removal and/or disruption effects that make use of the momentum setup by the low-Level members. Many later supports of the Type also introduce and make use of banishment, banishing Fish to use them later for other effects, or dodging the opponent's effects.
