'''Retrained''' is the term used to describe a monster that has been reprinted with a new effect and slightly different name, but with the same base [[ATK]] and [[DEF]], and usually [[Level]] as well. Examples include "[[Battle Ox]]" to "[[Enraged Battle Ox]]" and "[[Magician of Black Chaos]]" to "[[Dark Magician of Chaos]]". Special cases are [[Harpie Lady 1]], [[Harpie Lady 2]], and [[Harpie Lady 3]], which all have the same stats as the original [[Harpie Lady]], but are not all representing the same creature. Rather, they are the three sisters from [[Harpie Lady Sisters]].

The term "retrained" comes from "Retrained Elf Swordsman," a translation of the Japanese name for "[[Obnoxious Celtic Guard]]", who is a retrained version of "Elf Swordsman" ("[[Celtic Guardian]]").
 
 
 
Retrained monsters are not to be confused with upgraded ones, such as [[Megacannon Soldier]]. These, like retrained monsters, are clearly based on existing cards. However, unlike retrained versions, these have higher ATK and/or DEF and an effect meant to improve upon the original.
