[[File:BKC 28.png|right|150px|thumb|An example of the underside of a ''Battle Planet'' BakuCore. In this case, if a Bakugan picks up this Core it receives +150 [[B-Power]] and +50 [[Damage]]]]
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.
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. BakuCores also underwent a redesign, now more resembling their Takara Tomy counterparts from ''Battle Planet''. These Cores can be mixed and played alongside Battle Planet Cores.
