Changes

A '''BakuCore''' is a metal, hexagonal shaped tile that empowers Bakugan and allow them to transform from closed to open ball form in the ''[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]'' game. It is the replacement for the metal [[Gate Card]]s from the Legacy Series. BakuCores are only to be used with Battle Planet Bakugan (which are 36mm sized) and it is possible to pick up two BakuCores at once. Additionally, you are allowed to mark the underside of a BakuCore with markings/stickers as long as the text isn't covered.

In the gameplay, players must use six BakuCores (two for each Bakugan) and the symbols on the BakuCores must match the BakuCore symbols with those on the player's [[Character Card (Reboot)|Character Card]]s.

Some Character Cards and Evo Cards ability/effect may show the symbol of the BakuCore such as {{FistIcon}} or {{MagicShieldIcon}}. A Character Card could have an ability that says "{{FistIcon}}: +200 {{Power}}", which means if you land on a Fist BakuCore, then your Bakugan gets +200 B-Power.

''[[Bakugan: Armored Alliance]]'' introduces sixty-nine more BakuCores, keeping the five Core designations from Battle Planet. These Cores can be mixed and played alongside Battle Planet Cores.
