− | + | [[Normal Monster|Normal]], [[Effect Monster|Effect]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]], [[Monster Token|Token]], and [[Tuner Synchro Monster|Synchro Monsters]] can all be Tuner monsters. Because Tuner is not an [[Ability]], Tuner monsters can also have an Ability, such as [[Flip monster|Flip]] or [[Union monster|Union]]. [[Special Summon Monster]]s can also be Tuner monsters. Some [[card effect]]s can also [[Treats monsters as Tuner monsters|treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners]], including the effects of [[Trap Monster]]s to Special Summon themselves. | |
− | + | == Characteristics == | |
+ | As a broad category of monsters, Tuner monsters have no central shared effect or special mechanical traits. However, Tuner monsters have some commonalities with regards to their card effects or properties: | ||
+ | * Most Tuner monsters are low-Level, usually 1-3. | ||
+ | * The rarer Level 5+ Tuner monsters typically have effects that change Levels (e.g. "[[Flower Cardian Willow with Calligrapher]]", "[[Mare Mare]]") or have an alternative playstyle (e.g. "[[Ursarctic Megapolar]]"). | ||
+ | * Older Level 4 Tuner monsters often have [[negative effect]]s or [[condition]]s that limit their use. | ||
+ | * Tuner monsters typically have effects that support Synchro Summoning, such as: | ||
+ | ** Special Summoning another monster (e.g. "[[Deep Sea Diva]]", "[[Masked Chameleon]]") | ||
+ | ** Special Summoning themselves when a condition is met (e.g. "[[Lady of the Lake]]", "[[Fishborg Archer]]") | ||
+ | ** Changing monsters' Level, Type, or [[Attribute]] (e.g. "[[Delta Flyer]]", "[[Genomix Fighter]]", "[[Genex Ally Chemistrer]]") | ||
+ | * Some Tuner monsters can treat themselves as non-Tuner monsters for a Synchro Summon (e.g. "[[Phantom King Hydride]]") | ||
+ | * Some Tuner monsters can only be used as Synchro Material for a limited set of Synchro Monsters (e.g. "[[Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit]]", "[[Mystic Macrocarpa Seed]]", "[[Scrap Soldier]]") | ||
+ | * Older [[Tuner Pendulum Monster]]s typically have restrictive effects or conditions (e.g. "[[Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]", "[[White Wing Magician]]"), as they can be easily recovered by [[Pendulum Summon]]ing after being used in Synchro Summons. | ||

Tuner monsters (Japanese: チューナー Chūnā "Tuner") are monsters with "Tuner" listed on the Type line. They are required for the Synchro Summon of a Synchro Monster.
Normal, Effect, Fusion, Ritual, Pendulum, Token, and Synchro Monsters can all be Tuner monsters. Because Tuner is not an Ability, Tuner monsters can also have an Ability, such as Flip or Union. Special Summon Monsters can also be Tuner monsters. Some card effects can also treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners, including the effects of Trap Monsters to Special Summon themselves.

CharacteristicsEdit
As a broad category of monsters, Tuner monsters have no central shared effect or special mechanical traits. However, Tuner monsters have some commonalities with regards to their card effects or properties:
- Most Tuner monsters are low-Level, usually 1-3.
- The rarer Level 5+ Tuner monsters typically have effects that change Levels (e.g. "Flower Cardian Willow with Calligrapher", "Mare Mare") or have an alternative playstyle (e.g. "Ursarctic Megapolar").
- Older Level 4 Tuner monsters often have negative effects or conditions that limit their use.
- Tuner monsters typically have effects that support Synchro Summoning, such as:
- Special Summoning another monster (e.g. "Deep Sea Diva", "Masked Chameleon")
- Special Summoning themselves when a condition is met (e.g. "Lady of the Lake", "Fishborg Archer")
- Changing monsters' Level, Type, or Attribute (e.g. "Delta Flyer", "Genomix Fighter", "Genex Ally Chemistrer")
- Some Tuner monsters can treat themselves as non-Tuner monsters for a Synchro Summon (e.g. "Phantom King Hydride")
- Some Tuner monsters can only be used as Synchro Material for a limited set of Synchro Monsters (e.g. "Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit", "Mystic Macrocarpa Seed", "Scrap Soldier")
- Older Tuner Pendulum Monsters typically have restrictive effects or conditions (e.g. "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer", "White Wing Magician"), as they can be easily recovered by Pendulum Summoning after being used in Synchro Summons.
Count by propertiesEdit

Normal | Effect | Ritual | Fusion | Synchro | Pendulum | Token | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
# | 15 | 518 | 2 | 4 | 39 | 13 | 3 |

# | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
In addition, there are 24 cards that can treat themselves as Tuner monsters, and 32 cards that can treat other monsters as Tuners.
