"'''Gimmick Puppet'''" (ギミック・パペット ''Gimmikku Papetto'') is an [[archetype]] of mechanical toy-like [[Monster Card|monsters]] that are used by [[IV]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. They are a sub-archetype of the "[[Puppet]]" archetype. The monsters and associated cards seem to be geared toward Summoning their ace monsters, "[[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Killer]]" and , "[[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String]]., and "[[Number 88: Gimmick Puppet Destiny Leo]]

Gimmick Puppets don't have high [[ATK]] (except "[[Gimmick Puppet - Bomb Egg]]"), but have effects ranging from [[Stall|stalling]], [[Swarm|swarming]] and Summoning monsters to the opponent's side of the field. Their main strategy seems to be taking advantage of the opponent's monsters with high ATK to deal [[Effect Damage]] with their ace monsters, "[[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String]]" and "[[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Killer]]". The new ace of the Archetype, "[[Number 88: Gimmick Puppet Destiny Leo]]offers a new type of winning strategy, with its own instant-win effect. Also, lots of gimmick puppets are level 8 and base themselves around special summoning themselves, and then [[Xyz Summon]] [[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet Heaven's String]], [[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Killer]] and [[Number 88: Gimmick Puppet Destiny Leo]].
