Phantasm Counters (幻（げん）魔（ま）カウンター Genma Kauntā) are a type of counter used by "Chaos Core".

In the TCG/OCG, when "Chaos Core" is targeted for an attack or card effect, it can send up to 3 different Sacred Beasts from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard to place counters on itself equal to the number of sent cards and prevent all battle damage to its controller that turn. If "Chaos Core" would be destroyed by battle, it can remove a Phantasm Counter instead.

In the anime, when "Chaos Core" is targeted for an attack, it can send all three Sacred Beasts from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard to place 3 counters on itself. It can then remove the counters from itself to prevent battle damage and avoid being destroyed by battle.
