In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

Each of these Spell & Trap Zones are only treated as Pendulum Zones while there is a Pendulum Monster in that Zone (unless the Pendulum Monster is in that Zone as an [[Equip Spell Card]]). Eeffects that place Pendulum Monsters in a Pendulum Zone now place them in these Zones even while they are unoccupied. If there is a Pendulum Monster in the Zone, it is treated as both a Spell & Trap Zone and a Pendulum Zone. If one of these Spell & Trap Zones has a Pendulum Monster in it while the other does not, only the Zone with a Pendulum Monster in it is treated as a Pendulum Zone.

Pendulum Zone

The Pendulum Zones (Japanese: ペンデュラムゾーン Pendyuramu Zōn, abbreviated ペンデュラムゾーン in card text) are two card Zones introduced in Starter Deck 2014. Each player has two Pendulum Zones: the left Pendulum Zone, colored blue with a blue Pendulum Scale jewel; and the right Pendulum Zone, colored red with a red Pendulum Scale jewel. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, they are depicted as blue columns of light when occupied (no column is shown when that Zone is vacant).

In addition to being played as a monster, a Pendulum Monster can alternatively be activated from the hand as a Spell Card in a Pendulum Zone. Some card effects can place a Pendulum Monster in the Pendulum Zone without activating it. While in a Pendulum Zone, the Pendulum Monster's Pendulum Effects are applied rather than its monster effects. A Pendulum Monster cannot be Set in a Pendulum Zone. Pendulum Monsters are only treated as Spell Cards (of a non-specific variety), not monsters, while in a Pendulum Zone.

Location[edit]

Current field[edit]

The Pendulum Zones are located in the leftmost and rightmost Spell & Trap Zones. These Spell & Trap Zones are treated as Pendulum Zones as well only if there is a Pendulum Monster (that is not treated as an Equip Card) in that zone, regardless of its complementary zone, but effects that place Pendulum Monsters in Pendulum Zones can still place them in these zones even while they are unoccupied.

Old field[edit]

Prior to the release of Starter Deck 2017 in the OCG and Starter Deck: Link Strike in the TCG, the Pendulum Zones were distinct zones in which only Pendulum Monsters could be placed, and only as Spell Cards. The left Pendulum Zone was located in between the Field Zone and the Extra Deck Zone, and the right Pendulum Zone was located in between the Graveyard Zone and the Deck Zone.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links[edit]

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, by default, the Pendulum Zones are located in the left and right Spell & Trap zones as per the current field rules. However, certain Skills can add distinct Pendulum Zones to a player's field, in which case the left and right Spell & Trap zones are used as regular Spell & Trap zones while Pendulum Monsters are activated in the added zones. This only affects the player using the Skill and can cause the field to be asymmetrical.

Pendulum Monsters activated on fields without Pendulum Zones (top) and with Pendulum Zones (bottom) added by a Skill.
