Special Summon Monster
Revision as of 03:15, 18 June 2014 by Take Fumikô (talk) (Take Fumikô moved page Special Summon Monster to Special Summon monster over redirect: not an official term. no need to be all in title case)
A Special Summon Monster is any monster that has a rule or condition that prevents it from being Normal Summoned and Normal Set. It often has a Summoning Condition that restricts how the monster must be Special Summoned. Therefore, most of these monsters are considered Nomi or Semi-Nomi monsters.
Monsters with the "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set."[note] line in their text are all considered Special Summon Monsters, as well as Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters.
Any monster that is not a Special Summon Monster is considered a Normal Summon Monster.
Notes
^ Monsters without Problem-Solving Card Text (PSCT), as well as some of the first cards printed with PSCT, state "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set." instead.
