===Non-game Types===These Types are only mentioned in cards not intended for use in Duels, so they are only meant as tongue-in-cheek references and are not considered valid for gameplay purposes (even if those cards are printed in real life), such as for [[Declares a Type|card effects that require the player to declare a Type's name]].* '''Human''' ({{Ruby|人|にん}}{{Ruby|間|げん}} ''Ningen'') is the Type used for "[[Everyone's King]]", a card appearing in a fantasy [[Carly Carmine]] had in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime. It was released as a [[non-game card]] in the ''OCG''/''TCG=='', where it maintained this Type.* '''Charisma''' (カリスマ ''Karisuma'') is a Type used as a joke on "[[Charisma Token]]".* '''?''' is used on some ''[[FileYu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'' [[Monster Token|Token]] cards to indicate the Token's Type is variable. (See also:Immortal[[List of ?-Type monsters]])* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' anime, the [[Newspaper Club]] used a card-printing machine to create their own cards with their own original Types and [[Attribute]]s.pngThe Types included:** '''Business''' (ビジネス ''Bijinesu'') for "[[The★Luke Division Manager]]"** '''Newspaper''' ({{Ruby|新|35pxしん}}{{Ruby|聞|しん}} ''Shinbun'') for "[[Masa on the Mic]]" and "[[Cub the Picture Popping Paparazzi]]"** '''Swindler''' ({{Ruby|詐|さ}}{{Ruby|欺|ぎ}} ''Sagi'') for "[[Tracker the Ultimate Treasure Hunter]]"** '''Son''' ({{Ruby|息|むす}}{{Ruby|子|こ}} ''Musuko'') for "[[Good Yosh the Overcrusher]] "** '''Swirls''' (グルグル ''Guruguru'') for "[[ImmortalAdorable Newbie Swirls]] " ==Card text==In the ''OCG'' and ''TCG'', when a Type is mentioned in a card text, it is suffixed with "-Type appearing ". From ''[[Starter Deck: Link Strike]]'' onward, this was dropped in the video game ''TCG''.Western versions of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links]]'' use "-Type" in most cards' texts, even some that were printed after ''Link Strike'' and never included it in ''TCG''. The Duelists international versions of ''Rush Duel'' cards in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of the RosesBattle Royale!!]]''and ''Duel Links'' do not use the hyphen, including the flavor text of the Normal Monster "[[Summoned Skull (Rush Duel)|Summoned Skull]]". ==''Rush Duel''==There are 29 different Types in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]''; they include all Types from the ''OCG''/''TCG'', except for [[Illusion]], Divine-Beast, and Creator God.
Five of these types (all newly-added ones) are exclusive to certain [[HumanFusion Monster]] is a Type appearing only in a character's fantasy in the '', which are thematically fusions of other Types:* [[Celestial Warrior]] ([[YuWarrior]] + [[Fairy]])* [[Cyborg]] ([[Machine]] + non-GiMachine)* [[High Dragon]] ([[Dragon]] + Dragon)* [[Magical Knight]] ([[Spellcaster]] + non-Oh! 5D'sSpellcaster)* [[Omega Psychic]] ([[Psychic]]'' anime.+ Psychic)
==??? See also==* [[File:Question.svg|20pxChanges Type]]==* [[???Changes own Type]] is used to indicate that * [[Declares a monster's Type is unknown.]]* [[Treated as alternate Type]]* [[Treated as multiple Types]]
==Overlap with attributesNotes==Many Types tend to be associated with certain [[Attribute]]s. Types are not listed here if one or two Attributes do not clearly cover a majority of monsters with that Type (for instance, [[Dragon]]-Type monsters are fairly evenly divided between [{{fullurl:Special:Ask|q<references group=%5B%5BType%3A%3ADragon%5D%5D&po=%3FAttribute&sort%5B0%5D=Attribute&p%5Bformat%5D=table&p%5Blimit%5D=500}} three different Attributes], so "Dragonn" is not listed here). Types that are listed here are only listed with the Attributes that cover a majority of monsters of that Type.* [[DARK]]: [[Fiend]], [[Machine]], [[Spellcaster]], [[Zombie]]* [[DIVINE]]: [[Divine-Beast]], [[Creator God]]* [[EARTH]]: [[Beast]], [[Beast-Warrior]], [[Dinosaur]], [[Insect]], Machine, [[Plant]], [[Psychic]], [[Rock]], [[Warrior]]* [[FIRE]]: Dinosaur, [[Pyro]]* [[LIGHT]]: [[Fairy]], Spellcaster, [[Thunder]]* [[WATER]]: [[Aqua]], [[Fish]], [[Sea Serpent]]* [[WIND]]: Psychic, [[Winged Beast]]/>
