Ability

Ability (のうりょく Nōryoku) is a classification of Monster Cards. Abilities are listed in the same line as a monster's Type, separated by a slash (but are not the only classification that can be listed this way). The Japanese rulebook lists only Toon, Spirit, Union, Gemini, and Flip as possible Abilities; other classifications, such as Normal, Effect, Pendulum, Tuner, and Special Summon, are not Abilities.

No card has been printed with multiple abilities, but there are Union and Flip monsters that are also Tuner monsters. Abilities have only been used on Effect Monsters, although Gemini monsters and "Dragon Spirit of White" treat themselves as Normal Monsters under certain circumstances. Extra Deck monsters or Pendulum Monsters do not have abilities. However, the card "Comic Hand" can treat any monster as a Toon monster, regardless of its card type or if it has another ability. "Torque Tune Gear" has the ability to treat any monster it is equipped to as a Tuner monster.
