During the promotion for New Vestroia in Japan, translucent Pyrus Ultra Dragonoids and translucent Darkus Percival with limited edition Ability Cards were handed out to winners of the online campaign in the official website.

They are first released in BakuNeon series. Bakugan released in this treatment are:

• Abis Omega
• Neo Dragonoid
• Wilda
• Cosmic Ingram
• Percival
• Nemus
• Brontes
• Midnight Percival

There are multiple translucent bakugan released only in Japan, that stand out from any actual Translucent treatment. For example, series of 7 translucent 28mm Bakugan with no paint applied to them, that were prises on tournaments in Japan. Also there are multiple translucent Bakugan that do not follow traditional colors for the Translucent of their Attribute (like translucent purple Darkus Bakugan), or even the cases when colors of the Bakugan just don't correspond to their Attribute at all (for example, clear blue Pyrus Flare Dragaon or black clear Gear-Compatible Helios Mk II).

Generation 2

In Generation 2, Translucent Bakugan first came back in form of Diamond, clear-like treatment similar to some 28mm Special Attack Bakugan, as well as Limited Edition set of 3 Dragonoid toys made of neon red plastic. During the Bakugan: Armored Alliance, second season of Reboot, normal translucent bakugan made their come back. Any non-Aurelus, non-Fusion Bakugan printed from Armored Elite Wave 2 and onwards that came with gear in set was printed in translucent color. Normal translucent Bakugan also appeared in Bakugan: Evolutions in Mythic and Platinum form, and in Bakugan: Legends as a variant of Haos Bakugan.
