'''Effect Monsters''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|効|こう}}{{Ruby|果|か}}モンスター ''Kōka Monsutā'') are [[Monster Cards]] with an orange color border. Unlike [[Non-Effect Monster]] (particularly [[Normal Monsters]]), these monsters have an effect (''Special Ability'' in the English anime), which is demonstrated clearly by the fact that they have the [[Type]] 'Effect' beside their regular sub-type ([[Reptile]], [[Spellcaster]], etc.). Effects vary greatly, and are classed in five different types:

'''Effect Monsters''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|効|こう}}{{Ruby|果|か}}モンスター ''Kōka Monsutā'') are a subcategory of [[monster]]s with at least one [[monster effect]] or [[condition]]. Effect [[Monster Card]]s in the [[Main Deck]] (excluding [[Ritual Monster]]s) have an orange card frame, and are designated by the text "/Effect" on the [[Type]]/[[ability]] line.

Originally, Effect Monsters which also had [[Ability|abilities]] (such as [[Toon monster|Toon]] and [[Gemini monster|Gemini]]) or were [[Tuner monster|Tuners]] would display their subtype and not "/Effect". From ''[[Battle Pack 3: Monster League]]'' onward, all Effect Monsters now include "/Effect" regardless of their abilities or status as a Tuner monster. Regardless, monsters that have abilities are always Effect Monsters (although this is not the case for Tuner monsters).

Prior to the [[Problem-Solving Card Text]], many Effect monsters which were also other subtypes such as [[Toon]], [[Gemini monster|Gemini]] and [[Tuner monster|Tuners]] would display their subtype instead of "/EFFECT". Since the introduction of the PSCT, this is no longer the case to make identifying Effect Monsters easier.

Some [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], and  [[Xyz Monster]]s have effects, and are therefore also treated as Effect Monsters. [[Toon Monster|Toon]], [[Union Monsters|Union]], [[Gemini monster|Gemini]], [[Spirit monster|Spirit]], and some [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] monsters are all still types of Effect Monsters.

An Effect Monster's effect, if particularly powerful, may be balanced out by the monster itself being comparatively weak in ATK and DEF for its level (such as cards like "[[Ancient Gear Engineer]]" or "[[Needle Burrower]]"). Additionally, some cards with ATK that is too high for a monster of its Level may have negative effects detrimental to their use (such as cards like "[[Giant Kozaky]]" or "[[Giant Orc]]").

Some Effect Monsters have a dot (•) with an effect written after it. This dot usually represents an effect that is active while certain requirements are met, and sometimes this effect can be negated on its own when those requirements are no longer met (ex, the [[Gadjiltron]] monsters have different effects based on which monster is used to [[Tribute Summon]] it,the [[Infernity]] monsters have effects that are only active while the controller has no cards in their hand, and the [[Morphtronic]] monsters have two different effects, and either one of those effects can be active while that monster is in a certain [[Battle position]]). Some Effect Monsters that have 2 or more dots usually have effects that give the controller a choice on what they want to do at a certain time (ex, "[[Don Zaloog]]", or "[[Flying Fortress SKY FIRE]]"), but some of these effects have a basis for the activation (ex, "[[Neo-Spacian Glow Moss]]" and all [[Fusion Monsters]] with "[[Neo-Spacian Glow Moss]]" as a [[Fusion Material Monster]], "[[Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]]" and "[[Dark Hunter]]").

Effect Monsters (Japanese: 効（こう）果（か）モンスター Kōka Monsutā) are a subcategory of monsters with at least one monster effect or condition. Effect Monster Cards in the Main Deck (excluding Ritual Monsters) have an orange card frame, and are designated by the text "/Effect" on the Type/ability line. They were first introduced in the Vol.3 booster pack.

Originally, Effect Monsters which also had abilities (such as Toon and Gemini) or were Tuners would display their subtype and not "/Effect". From Battle Pack 3: Monster League onward, all Effect Monsters now include "/Effect" regardless of their abilities or status as a Tuner monster. Regardless, monsters that have abilities are always Effect Monsters (although this is not the case for Tuner monsters).

Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum, and Link Monsters can also be Effect Monsters.
