Ability Card

Blue Card: 'G-Power Bump'

Red Card: 'Re-Roll'

Green Card: 'Copy Cat'

Similar to the 3 Gate Cards, an Ability Card may have G-Power Boosts and particular instruction that all Brawlers have to obey. Ability Cards are quite Forceful and when used properly can have a excellent effect on your opponents. Requirements to play an ability card are in a bold format.^[1]

Ability Cards (Series 2 rules) come in three different colors:

Green: Powerful ability cards that include the attribute-named cards (Gr).
Blue: Basic ability cards with G-Power increases but have less conditions than Red or Green cards (Bl).
Red: Situational abilities (Re).

Ability Cards are played from the hand at certain times to affect the outcome of the match. The common categories of use are before rolling (b/r), after rolling (a/r), start of a battle (s/b), during battle (d/b), win battle (w/b), lose battle (l/b) or after one of your opponent's actions (a/o). Further restrictions may apply, e.g. "Play before you roll a Pyrus Bakugan."

Ability Cards may be Common or Rare and there are special cards only available in the the Arena product.

Series 1

Under Series 1 rules (???), Ability Cards were different (there were also Character Cards and other types of cards).

An Ability Card is a card used to power up a Bakugan. A brawler cannot use it as the first card played, but anytime after that. An ability card can give a Bakugan power; Fire power, Wind power or Dark power. They can also give you G-Power. They were always a reflective print and even had metal inside them.
