Editing Monster effect

A '''monster effect''' is a [[card effect]] produced by a [[Monster Card]]. Under normal circumstances, only [[Effect Monster]]s can produce monster effects.

==Types of monster effect==
There are several distinct types of monster effect. All monster effects that start a Chain except Quick Effects are [[Spell Speed 1]].
*[[Flip Effect]]: Activates when the monster is [[flip]]ped [[face-up]] (even in the [[Damage Step]]). Can be either [[optional]] or [[compulsory]].
*[[Ignition Effect]]: Optional effect that can be activated in any open [[game state]] during the [[Main Phase]] (some cards have Ignition Effects that can be activated during other [[Phase]]s).
*[[Trigger Effect]]: Have a specific timing that must be met before they can be activated. Can be either optional or non-optional.
*[[Quick Effect]]: [[Spell Speed 2]]. May or may not have a specific timing. Can be either optional or non-optional.
*[[Continuous Effect]]: Does not start a [[Chain]], and remains in effect as long as the monster is face-up on the field.
*[[Unclassified Effect]]: Other types of monster effects that do not start a Chain.

==Non-Effect Monsters activating monster effects==
Some cards can give [[non-Effect Monster]]s (currently only for [[Xyz Monster]]s) an effect. Those cards will make any cards that only affect Effect Monsters (rather than monster effects) unable to affect or target non-Effect Monsters using them, such as "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Breakthrough Skill]]", and "[[Fiendish Chain]]".

-For activated effects, an effect is a monster effect if the card that produced the effect was a monster when the effect was activated. If a monster activates an effect, but due to leaving the field or moving to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] it is no longer a monster at resolution, the effect is still a monster effect. Likewise, if a [[Monster Card]] that is treated as a [[Spell]] or [[Trap Card]] activates an effect, that effect is a Spell/Trap effect and not a monster effect, even if that card has left the field or is in a [[Monster Zone]] when that effect resolves.

-[[Normal Pendulum Monster]]s do not have monster effects; they only have [[Pendulum Effect]]s, and so are not valid targets for any effects that require a monster effect.

-In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'', most monster effects can be classified as one of the following types of effects: Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous.
-* [[Ignition Effect]]: An [[optional]] [[Spell Speed 1]] effect that can be activated during an open [[game state]] of its possessor's [[Main Phase]].
-* [[Trigger Effect]]: A [[Spell Speed 1]] effect that can be activated after a specific event occurs.
-** [[Flip effect]]: A Trigger Effect of a [[Flip monster]] that activates because it was [[flip]]ped [[face-up]].
-* [[Quick Effect]]: A [[Spell Speed 2]] monster effect.
-* [[Continuous Effect]]: A monster effect that does not use a [[Chain Link]], and only applies while the monster is [[face-up]] on the [[field]].
-In addition to the above, some monster effects do not fit into any of the above classifications. On Yugipedia, such effects are described as [[Unclassified Effect|Unclassified]].
+{{Gameplay}}
-This classification is not provided in card text (except for Quick Effects in the ''TCG''). Usually, this classification is specified in the card's ruling on the Japanese ''OCG''{{'}}s Official Card Database.

-===Rush Duel===
-In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]'', all monster effects can be classified as one of three types of effects: Ignition, Continuous, or Multi-Choice.
-* [[Ignition Effect]]: An [[optional]] effect that can be activated [[once per turn]] during its possessor's [[Main Phase]].
-* [[Multi-Choice Effect]]: An [[optional]] effect that can be activated once per turn during its possessor's [[Main Phase]], and allows the activating player to choose which effect to apply among two or more.
-* [[Continuous Effect]]: A monster effect that applies while the monster is [[face-up]] on the [[field]].
-The vast majority of monster effects in ''Rush Duel'' are Ignition Effects. Continuous and Multi-Choice Effects are specifically indicated by replacing the standard "Effect" header with "Continuous Effect" or "Multi-Choice Effect", respectively.
