'''Retrained''' is the term used to describe a monster that has been reprinted with a new effect and slightly different name, but with the same base #REDIRECT [[ATK]] and [[DEF]], and usually [[Level]] as well. Examples include "[[Battle Ox]]" to "[[Enraged Battle Ox]]" and "[[Magician of Black Chaos]]" to "[[Dark Magician of Chaos]]". Special cases are [[Harpie Lady 1]], [[Harpie Lady 2]], and [[Harpie Lady 3]], which all have the same stats as the original [[Harpie Lady]], but are not all representing the same creature. Rather, they are the three sisters from [[Harpie Lady Sisters]]. The term "retrained" comes from "Retrained Elf Swordsman," a translation of the Japanese name for "[[Obnoxious Celtic Guard]]", who is a retrained version of "Elf Swordsman" ("[[Celtic Guardian]]"). Retrained monsters are not to be confused with upgraded ones, such as [[Cannon Soldier MK-2]]. These, like retrained monsters, are clearly based on existing cards. However, unlike retrained versions, these have higher ATK and/or DEF and an effect meant to improve upon the original. ==Retrained Cards== * [[Amphibious Bugroth]] -> [[Amphibious Bugroth MK-3]]* [[Battle Ox]] -> [[Enraged Battle Ox]]* [[Magician of Black Chaos]] -> [[Dark Magician of Chaos]]* [[Black Luster Soldier]] -> [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]* [[Celtic Guardian]] -> [[Obnoxious Celtic Guard]]* [[Doll of Demise]] -> [[Malice Doll of Demise]]* [[Gaia the Fierce Knight]] -> [[Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight]]* [[St. Joan]] -> [[Guardian Angel Joan]]* [[Summoned Skull]] -> [[Skull Archfiend of Lightning]] ==Alternate Cards== * [[Lava Battleguard]] + [[Swamp Battleguard]]* [[Level Limit - Area B]] + [[Level Limit - Area A]] ==Upgraded Cards== ===[[Monster Cards]]=== * [[Cannon Soldier]] -> [[Cannon Soldier MK-2]]* [[Proto-Cyber Dragon]] -> [[Cyber Dragon]] -> [[Cyber Twin Dragon]] -> [[Cyber End Dragon]]* [[Hane-Hane]] -> [[Hade-Hane]]* [[Machine King Prototype]] -> [[Machine King]] -> [[Perfect Machine King]] * [[Man-Eater Bug]] -> [[Nobleman-Eater Bug]]* [[Muka Muka]] -> [[Enraged Muka Muka]] ==Downgraded Cards== ===[[Monster Cards]]=== * [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]] -> [[Chaos Sorcerer]] -> [[Destiny Hero - Doom Lord]]* [[Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End]] -> [[Sky Scourge Norleras]]* [[Chaos Sorcerer]] -> [[Sky Scourge Enrise]]* [[D.D.
