ARC-V (manga)|manga]]), is a set of indicators unique to property possessed by [[Pendulum Monster]]s. Two of them are located above When performing a [[Pendulum Summon]], the "Monster Effect" text box Pendulum Scales of the Pendulum Monster, with Monsters in the "[[Pendulum EffectZone]]" s determine the possible Levels of the Pendulum Monster placed between them. All Pendulum Monster have two Pendulum Scale values, signified by the blue symbol and the red symbolmonsters that can be Summoned.

You can Pendulum Summon monsters from Monster Cards, the hand and/or Pendulum Monsters that have been sent face-up to Scale is printed twice, on either side of the [[Extra DeckPendulum Effect]] whose [[Level]]s are in between the Pendulum Scale valuestext box. In On the animeleft side it is printed with a blue marker, while on the Pendulum Scale appears as a glowing number below the Pendulum Monster when right side it is in printed with a red marker. Despite being printed twice, the [[two values are always equal, as monsters only have one Pendulum Zone]]Scale.

The official rulebook states that a Pendulum Monster placed in In the anime, the left Pendulum Zone uses its left Pendulum Scale value and appears as a glowing number below the Pendulum Monster placed when it is in the right [[Pendulum Zone uses its right Pendulum Scale value, implying that monsters may have different Pendulum Scale values written on the card. However, no Pendulum Monsters released to date have different values in their Pendulum Scales]].

As with a monster's ==Mechanics==[[File:Pendulum Scale (Anime).png|thumb|left|The Pendulum Scales of "[[LevelStargazer Magician]]/" and "[[RankTimegazer Magician]]"]]If a player has Pendulum Monsters in both of their Pendulum Zones, once per turn they can perform a Pendulum Summon. A Pendulum Summon allows the player to Summon any number of monsters from their hand and face-up [[ATKExtra Deck]], and whose [[DEFLevel]], there appear to be some unofficial 'rules' that govern how high or low a monster's are strictly between the Pendulum Scales of the two Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Scale values may Zones. (Therefore, monsters cannot be. A monster's Pendulum Scales may be as low as 2 or as high as 7 normally; having a Scale of 1 or lower or a Scale of 8 or higher requires that Summoned if the monsters in the monster's two Pendulum Effect Zones have [[negative effect|negative]] conditions the same Scale, or Scales that restrict its usediffer by one.)

A monster's Pendulum Scale may change from its printed number during a Duel due to other [[card effect]]s. Currently in the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'', a monster's original Pendulum Scale may range from 0 to 13; no effects can currently reduce a Pendulum Scale to below 1, but effects can raise the Pendulum Scale to any number above 10 (e.g. "[[Yosenju Shinchu R]]", "[[Performapal Guitartle]]").{{Clear}}==Gallery=={{Show card image gallery| Supreme King Gate Zero | A [[Pendulum Scale 0 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 0]]| Stargazer Magician | A [[File:StargazerMagicianPendulum Scale 1 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 1]]| Foucault's Cannon | A [[Pendulum Scale 2 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 2]]| Dragon Horn Hunter | A [[Pendulum Scale 3 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 3]]| Odd-YS14-EN-SR-1E.pngEyes Pendulum Dragon | A [[Pendulum Scale 4 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 4]]| Rescue Hamster | A [[Pendulum Scale 5 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 5]]| Performapal Lizardraw | A [[Pendulum Scale 6 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 6]]| Flash Knight | A [[Pendulum Scale 7 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 7]]| Timegazer Magician |thumbA [[Pendulum Scale 8 Monster Cards|centerPendulum Scale of 8]]|360pxQliphort Scout |A [[Pendulum Scale 9 MonsterCards|Pendulum Scale of 9]].
