Flip Effect Monsters

Flip Effect monsters are a kind of Effect Monster in the TCG and HCCG.

Flip Effect monsters are a special kind of Trigger Effect Monsters whose effects activate when they are flipped face-up, either due to being attacked while Set or by being Flip Summoned. Like Trigger Effects, Flip Effects are activated as Spell Speed 1.

Every Flip Effect monster contains the phrase "FLIP:" at the beginning of its card description, which is shorthand for "When this card is flipped face-up,". The sentence immediately following "FLIP:" is the monster's Flip Effect. In HCCG, many Flip Effect monsters contain additional effects not part of the Flip Effect, and these are written as separate sentences after the Flip Effect. In the TCG, Flip Effect monsters have become their own subtype, but this is not true for HCCG.

There are many Flip Effect monsters currently in the game, and there are some archetypes revolving entirely around Flip Effect monsters, such as Charmers, Tri-Coloreds, Jurrapdoors, and Iolites.
