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.

Cards can have multiple abilities. Shaddoll Falco is one example as it is both a Tuner and a Flip. Abilities have only been used on Effect Monsters, although Gemini monsters treat themselves as Normal Monsters under certain circumstances. There are no Extra Deck monsters that have abilities. However, "Comic Hand" can treat any monster as a Toon monster, regardless of its card type or if it has another ability.
