Currently the highest [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] outside the anime or manga is [[5000 ATK Monster Cards|5000]]. There are various methods to increase a monster's attack power and so it's debatable over what monster has the potential for the highest ATK possible. Among these, the highest printed value of an ATK increase belongs to "[[Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia]]", which gains 100,000 ATK. On the other hand, the highest printed value of an ATK decrease belongs to "[[All For Naught - Bubble Burst]]", which has monsters lose 1 million ATK.
