"'''Performapal'''", known as "'''Entermate'''" ({{Ruby|ＥＭ|エンタメイト}} ''Entameito'') in the ''[[OCG]]'' and the English [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Scale SP1|One-Shot Chapter]] and as "'''Enter-Mate'''" in the English [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'' manga]], is an [[archetype]] used by [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] and [[Yusho Sakaki]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime and manga. ==Design=====Appearance===

===Etymology===Both the English and Japanese names are simple portmanteaus: "Performapal" is a portmanteau of "performance" and "pal", while . "Entermate" is a portmanteau of エンタメ ''entame'' (a Japanese shorthand for "entertainment" ) and "mate". 

==Playing style==

As the first [[Pendulum Monster]] archetype, "Performapal" features a large number of Pendulum Monsters designed to make the most out of the Pendulum Zones. "[[Performapal Silver Claw|Silver Claw]]" is a powerful beater in the Monster Card Zone that boosts all "Performapal" monsters' ATK when in the [[Pendulum Zone]]. "[[Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer|Pendulum Sorcerer]]" boosts all "Performapal" monster's ATK by 1000 during a turn when the player [[Pendulum Summon]]s. "[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker|Skullcrobat Joker]]" and "[[Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn|Odd-Eyes Unicorn]]" offers the highest [[Pendulum Scale]] of the archetype (8), with the effect of "Skullcrobat Joker" allowing to add a "Performapal" monster, a "[[Magician (archetype)|Magician]]" Pendulum Monster, or an "[[Odd-Eyes]]" monster from the Deck to the hand with its effect, while "Odd-Eyes Unicorn" gives a boost in ATK to a selected target with its Pendulum Effect and helps recover [[LP]] with its normal effect.

"Performapals" can lack pushing power on their own, especially when used as a Rank 4 Monster engine, and can be used alongside the "[[Dracoslayer]]", "[[Magician (archetype)|Magician]]", and other Pendulum archetypes to even out Special Summoning, with "[[Performapal Lizardraw|Lizardraw]]" and "[[Performapal Guitartle|Guitartle]]" as the draw combo "[[Performapal Monkeyboard|Monkeyboard]]" and "[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker|Skullcrobat Joker]]" can search for "[[Performapal Partnaga|Partnaga]]" for ATK and "[[Performapal Turn Toad|Turn Toad]]" can weaken opposing monsters. "[[Wavering Eyes]]" or "[[Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer|Pendulum Sorcerer]]" can clear the Pendulum Scales for the next round of effects the following turn.

The strongest monster in the "Performapal" archetype is "[[Performapal Elephammer|Elephammer]]" at 2600 ATK, which can be Normal Summoned without tribute if the player controls two or more other "Performapals", and [[bounce]]s returns all of the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards when it attacks. Together with the [[swarm]] capabilities afforded by Pendulum Summons, "Elephammer" can make a good finisher for the archetype.

With the release of ''[[Structure Deck: Master of Pendulum]]'' and ''[[Shining Victories]]'', the Historically "Performapal" archetype has become more intimately entwined was extremely effectively when paired with the "[[Odd-EyesPerformage]]" and "[[Magician (archetype)|Magician]]" . This combination of the two archetypes through cards like "[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker]]", known as "[[Sky Iris]]PePe", would prove extremely powerful and "[[Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn]]", which gives the Deck more efficient use several of outside its key cards that were previously just splashable–especially "would be Limited or Forbidden in [[Odd-Eyes Pendulum DragonFebruary 2016 Lists|February 2016]]".

==Weaknesses==Though many Since the release of the Level 2 ''[[Structure Deck: Master of Pendulum]]'' and 3 "Performapals" possess strong effects''[[Shining Victories]]'', support for the only "Performapal" monsters archetype has become more intimately entwined with a Scale of 1 are the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" and "[[Magician]]" archetypes through cards like "[[Performapal MonkeyboardSkullcrobat Joker]]", "[[Sky Iris]]" (which is Forbidden in the ''TCG'' and ''OCG'') , and "[[Performapal GumgumoutonOdd-Eyes Unicorn]]", making it very difficult to retrieve those Level 2 Pendulum Monsters from which gives the Extra Deck without relying on more efficient use of outside cards that were previously just splashable–especially "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monsters from outside the archetypeDragon]]".

While === Weaknesses ===* Though many of the Level 2 and 3 "Performapals" are outstanding in manipulating ATK and granting special combat tricks to Pendulum Monsters during possess strong effects, the Battle Phase, they suffer a debilitating lack of power under most circumstances. Outside of your own Battle Phase, only "PerformapalsPerformapal" lose most monsters with a Scale of the ATK bonuses they gain and 1 are left stranded with their very low original ATK (with the exception of the outstanding 2600 ATK of "[[Performapal ElephammerMonkeyboard]]", most barely scrape over 1800 for ATK or DEF). Combined with (which is Limited in the issue of getting support monsters out consistently, dedicated "Performapal" Decks will often be left with a field with a few low ATK monsters if you don't have protection such as 'TCG'' and ''OCG'') and "[[Last Minute CancelPerformapal Gumgumouton]]" on hand. On top of all of this, "Performapal" cards in general (Monster, Spell, and Trap) have a near-random assortment of effects which make building a making it very difficult to retrieve those Level 2 Pendulum Monsters from the Extra Deck around them convoluted or predictablewithout relying on Pendulum Monsters from outside the archetype.

As * While "PerformapalPerformapals" Decks greatly rely on their capacity are outstanding in manipulating ATK and granting special combat tricks to Pendulum Summon Monsters during the Battle Phase, they suffer a debilitating lack of power under most circumstances. Outside of your own Battle Phase, "Performapals" lose most of the ATK bonuses they gain and are left stranded with their Spell and Trap Cards to maintain advantage, very low original ATK (with the exception of the outstanding 2600 ATK of "[[Anti-Spell FragrancePerformapal Elephammer]]" is especially debilitating to , most barely scrape over 1800 for ATK or DEF). Combined with the Deckissue of getting support monsters out consistently, preventing any Pendulum Scales from being placed and forcing at least one turn of waiting before any Spell Cards can dedicated "Performapal" Decks will often be activated. left with a field with a few low ATK monsters if you don't have protection such as "[[Magic DeflectorLast Minute Cancel]]" and on hand. On top of all of this, "[[Spell Canceller]]Performapal" negate most cards in general (Monster, Spell Effects all together, and Trap) have a near-random assortment of effects which make building a Deck around them convoluted or predictable.

* Like most Pendulum decks, as "Performapal" Decks greatly rely on their capacity to Pendulum Summon and their Spell and Trap Cards to maintain advantage, "[[BlueAnti-Eyes Spirit DragonSpell Fragrance]]" also hinders this deck greatly when it comes and "[[Dimensional Barrier]]" are especially debilitating to Pendulum Summoningthe Deck, as it the former prevents each player any Pendulum Scales from Summoning more than once monster being placed and forcing at least one turn of waiting before any Spell Cards can be activated, while the same time. With its 3000 DEFother prevents Pendulum Monsters from being Special Summoned and have their on-field effects negated, a "Performapal" will likely not win a battle against making itdifficult to swarm. "Spirit Dragon[[Magic Deflector]]" can also negate the activation of Graveyard effects "Performapal" monsters may have. Paired with its ability to dodge being targeted or destroyed by opposing effects by replacing itself with and "[[Azure-Eyes Silver DragonSpell Canceller]]", "Spirit Dragon" is probably one of the negate most troublesome cards for "Performapal", and Pendulum Decks as a whole, to deal withSpell Effects all together.

* "[[Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon]]" also hinders this deck greatly when it comes to Pendulum Summoning, as it prevents each player from Summoning more than once monster at the same time. With its 3000 DEF, most "Performapal" monsters will likely not win a battle against it. "Spirit Dragon" can also negate the activation of Graveyard effects "Performapal" monsters may have. Paired with its ability to dodge being targeted or destroyed by opposing effects by replacing itself with "[[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon]]", "Spirit Dragon" is probably one of the most troublesome cards for "Performapal", and Pendulum Decks as a whole, to deal with. ===Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Recommended cardsStandard Performapal
