'''Gemini monsters''' (Japanese: デュアルモンスター ''Dyuarumonsutā'' "Dual Monster") are [[Effect Monster]]s with the [[ability]] "Gemini". They have [[card effect|effects]], but these effects must be "unlocked" by performing an additional [[Normal Summon]] on them while they are face-up on the field; until then, they are [[treated as a Normal Monster|treated as Normal Monsters]] on the field and in the Graveyard (everywhere else they are treated as Effect Monsters).

Whlie a Gemini Monster are on the field as a Normal Monster by their own effect, the player may declare a [[Normal Summon]] of it again so that it becomes an effect monster. If so, it is not treated as on the field during the [[Summon negation window|Summon Negation Window]]. But any [[Equip Card|Equip Cards]] equipped to the monster are not sent to graveyard, and remains equipped to the monster (They will be sent to graveyard if the Summon is negated, or it [[leaves the field]] during [[Summon response window]]). If a Level 5 or higher Monster would be Summoned this way, the player does not tribute monster for it. The process of the second Normal Summon is unofficially called "'''Gemini Summon'''" (or "'''Dual Summon'''" in OCG, not to be confused with "[[Double Summon]]")

Gemini monsters debuted in ''[[Tactical Evolution]]''. So far, Gemini monsters have yet to make a proper appearance in the anime or manga. However, several members have made brief appearances in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''. "[[Phoenix Gearfried]]" is on the poster for the [[World Racing Grand Prix]], "[[Gigaplant]]" appears in a flashback of [[Akiza Izinski]]'s past and "[[Crusader of Endymion]]" has been seen played by random [[Duelist]]s in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|114}} as well as {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

The "[[Chemicritter]]" archetype is heavily focused on, and almost completely composed of, Gemini monsters.
 
 
 
==Text==
 
The most recent Gemini card text reads as follows:
 
{{Quote|This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the GY. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.<br />● [Effect]}}
 
 
 
==Playing style==
 
Decks built entirely around Gemini monsters are almost all [[Aggro]] Decks with strong field control, some capacity for field-[[swarm]]ing, and quick Synchro. However, the main strength of this archetype is versatility. Gemini Decks can vary greatly in specialty and method of operation, so much so that (unlike many archetypes) any two examples could be almost entirely different outside of two or three monsters and traps. The major types of Gemini Decks are Field Control (which tend to focus on destruction effects), Equip (which focus on Equips and often lean towards [[Warrior]] Gemini monsters), and the most popular: "Gigavise" (which focuses on abuse of the effect of "Gigaplant" effect to field-swarm [[Plant]]s or Geminis, sometimes going for the [[Gigaplant OTK]]). Some may include elements of all these types. Now, with the debut of [[Xyz Monster]]s, Decks that revolves on Level 4 or lower Gemini and non-Gemini monsters has good potential in conducting a quick Xyz Summon of Rank 4 or lower Xyz Monsters.
 
 
Gemini monsters have seen an upswing recently in inclusion in anti-meta Decks, with the powerful beatsticks ("Elemental Hero Neos Alius" and "Crusader of Endymion") splashing in with support from "[[Honest]]" and "[[Gemini Spark]]". The [[Fusion Monster]] "[[Superalloy Beast Raptinus]]" causes them to gain their effects immediately, and can be fused from any two Gemini.
 
 
"Elemental HERO Neos Alius" is an ideal Fusion Material Monster for the "[[Elemental HERO]]" fusions with non-specific fusion material based on the different Attributes. What makes it really impressive is the use of "[[Super Polymerization]]", enabling not only discards (which are beneficial to a Deck of this kind) but the theft of certain monsters depending on attribute.
 
 
 
They benefit greatly from the many support cards that allow Normal Monsters to be Summoned back from the Graveyard, like "[[Birthright]]". Gemini monsters can play an important role in Decks based around Normal Monsters. A good example of this is "[[Cú Chulainn the Awakened]]", seeing as he can use the [[ATK]] of a Normal Monster in the Graveyard.
 
 
 
===Further strategy===
 
If your Gemini Deck consist of utilizing level 4 Gemini monsters, adding in "Gemini Spark” would be extremely effective in dodging inevitable trap cards or removing any target on the field. What makes "Gemini Spark" effective is the ability to chain it to an opponent's card such as "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", which not only saves your monster from being banished but also enabling you to draw 1 card. In addition, "Gemini Spark" also benefits Gemini monsters such as "[[Blazewing Butterfly]]" which depends on a Gemini in your Graveyard.
 
 
 
In Gemini decks that focus on gaining the effect of “Gemini” monsters, running "[[Supervise]]" is a must. Combos with “Supervise” involve “[[Evocator Chevalier]]” which destroys any card your opponent controls and reviving a Normal Monster from your Graveyard.
 
 
 
Since "Gemini" monsters are Normal Monsters while in your graveyard, adding "[[Swing of Memories]]" can be of great use. This card proves versatile with the addition of Xyz Monsters, one may summon a monster on the field then use "Swing of Memories" to revive a Gemini in the graveyard, which will then set-up for an easy Xyz Summon (since most Geminis are level 4), a Tribute Summon (such as "[[Knight of the Red Lotus]]") or Synchro Summon if a tuner is available.
 
 
 
"Knight of the Red Lotus" is another great addition for a Gemini deck. This card resurrects a Gemini monster from your graveyard every turn. Although this card is a tribute summon, you may special summon it if the requirements are met. Xyz Monsters such as “[[Daigusto Emeral]]” may also be of great assistance in reviving a Gemini from your Graveyard.
 
 
 
Gemini decks that specialize in sending your Gemini monsters to the graveyard often would use cards such as Future fusion, "[[Foolish Burial]]" or Featherizer. "[[Future Fusion]]" will send two of your Gemini monsters to your Graveyard (best to send "Gemini" monsters that require Tribute) which will then allow you to Summon "Superalloy Beast Raptinus" in a few Standby Phases. "[[Featherizer]]" will send a "Gemini" from your Deck to your Graveyard and allowing you to draw 1 card after being destroyed by battle.
 
 
 
==Weaknesses==
 
All Decks that deal with Gemini are extremely vulnerable to commonly played cards such as "[[Book of Moon]]" (which can reset the effects of Gemini monsters) and "Bottomless Trap Hole" (which not only stops their Summon, but removes them from play). Another problem with pure Gemini Decks is speed. Even when built for field-swarming, Gemini Decks can have a hard time matching the speed of the most commonly played archetypes that specialize in it, such as "[[X-Saber]]s", "[[Blackwing]]s", and "[[Lightsworn]]s". Other weaknesses include "[[Fortune Lady]]" Decks because of their Field Spell "[[Future Visions]]", which prevents Gemini monsters from gaining their effects, and "[[Black Garden]]", which would cut down the [[ATK]] down to a quarter before it would gain its effects. Also, Gemini monsters tend to rely more heavily on support cards than some archetypes, so Decks built around them more typically go over the forty card standard than others.

* There are no [[Beast-Warrior]], [[Dinosaur]], [[Psychic]], or [[Wyrm]]-Type Gemini monsters.
 
** However, the effect the Gemini monster "[[Skelesaurus]]" treats it as Dinosaur-Type after it has been Normal Summoned while face-up on the [[field]].
