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 Monsters have two Pendulum Scale values, signified by the blue symbol and the red symbolmonsters that can be Summoned.

[[File:On Pendulum Monster Cards, the Pendulum Scale (Anime).png|thumb|left|The Pendulum Scales is printed twice, on either side of "[[Stargazer Magician]]" and "[[Timegazer Magician]]"]]Pendulum Scales are used in the [[Pendulum SummonEffect]]ingtext box.

(ThereforeDespite being printed twice, monsters cannot be Pendulum Summoned if the monsters in the two Pendulum Zones have the same Scale or Scales that values are always equal, as monsters only have one number apart.) In the anime, the Pendulum Scale appears as a glowing number below the Pendulum Monster when it is in the [[Pendulum Zone]].

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

As with all four of the above, a 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 to 10, with but effects being able to can raise the Pendulum Scale to as high as 12any 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 [[Pendulum 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-Eyes 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 | A [[Pendulum Scale 8 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 8]]| Qliphort Scout | A [[Pendulum Scale 9 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 9]]| Deskbot 005 | A [[Pendulum Scale 10 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 10]]| Moissa Knight, while in the anime original Scales Comet General | A [[Pendulum Scale 11 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 11 and ]]| Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician | A [[Pendulum Scale 12 have been seen.Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 12]]| Supreme King Gate Infinity | A [[Pendulum Scale 13 Monster Cards|Pendulum Scale of 13]]}}

==Trivia==* Early [[File:StargazerMagician-SDMP-EN-C-1E.png|thumb|center|360px|A [[Pendulum MonsterLegal]]Pendulum Monsters with very high or very low Pendulum Scales usually had negative Pendulum Effects that reduced their ability to be used generically, though this has been relaxed over time. The blue ** Usually, the negative Pendulum Effects involved preventing the player from Pendulum Summoning monsters that do not have a particular property, and red symbols at either side of the card, just below its artwork, indicate its additional condition that the effect cannot be negated.* Scale 4 effectively functions as the 'worst' Pendulum Scale. This monster has , used as a balancing downside as it prevents players from Pendulum Scale Summoning Level 4 monsters (arguably the most versatile Level) while also forcing them to Pendulum Summon only high-Level ''or'' low-Level monsters, greatly restricting the range of 1Levels that can be Pendulum Summon.* The pair of "[[Supreme King Gate Zero]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" were the respectively first Scale 0 and 13 cards to be released.
