The anime premiered on February 16, 2020, and has a total of 104 11-minute episodes.
Baku-Gear are available from Baku-Gear Packs, which replace [[Battle Pack (Generation 2)|Battle Pack]]s from [[Bakugan Battle Planet]]. Baku-Gear Packs contain two Bakugan Ultra, one Baku-Gear, and two Core Bakugan. Bakugan Ultras can also be found in Baku-Gear Single Packs, which act similar to the [[Combat Set]]s from the [[Legacy]] series. They contain a Bakugan Ultra and Baku-Gear in a chosen Faction.
===Trading Card Game===
''Bakugan: Armored Alliance'' has three major card sets, and two minor card sets.
The major card sets from ''Bakugan: Armored Alliance'' are:
*[[Armored Elite]]
*[[Fusion Force]]
*[[Shields of Vestroia]]
The minor card sets from ''Bakugan: Armored Alliance'' are:
*[[DI]]
*[[PS1]]
While all three major card sets were initially planned to see wide release, due to the silent cancellation of the Trading Card Game in early 2021, only [[Armored Elite]] and [[Fusion Force]] ever saw distribution, with [[Shields of Vestroia]] card packs eventually being liquidated and sold off in late 2022.
This season introduces multiple new mechanics for the trading card game:
*[[Baku-Gear Card|Baku-Gear Cards]], which attach to Bakugan to give them permanent stat boosts
*[[Flip Hero Card|Flip Hero Cards]], which go into play as a Hero card when played as a Flip card
*[[Dual Faction Card|Dual Faction Cards]], which require both factions listed on the card present in a team to be put in a deck
*[[Fusion|Fusion Bakugan]], which have an unfused state with a single faction and a fused state with two factions accessible through various means
