A Phase is a gamestate of the Bakugan Reboot Trading Card Game that makes up part of a turn. There are four different Phases in the Trading Card Game, and each has different steps and actions that players can undertake during them.

Start Phase[edit]

The Start Phase is the very first phase of each turn. It consists of two steps: the Draw Step and the Energize Step.

Draw Step[edit]

The Draw Step is first thing that happens during the Start Phase. During this step, each player simultaneously draws a card and places it in their hand.

Energize Step[edit]

During the Energize Step, each player may Energize a card from their hand.

Roll Phase[edit]

During the Roll Phase, each player selects and rolls a Bakugan of their choosing.

Selection Step[edit]

Each player first selects which Bakugan they wish to roll. To be be able to roll a Bakugan, it must be closed and not open due to winning a Brawl Phase.

Roll Step[edit]

Simultaneously, each player rolls their Bakugan towards the Hide Matrix. Each player must roll from at least two card lengths away, and the Bakugan being rolled must roll without encountering any obstacles such as cards, other Bakugan, or non-BakuCore elements on the field.

Brawl Phase[edit]
