'''Pyrus''' refers to elemental power of fire. Bakugan that belong to Pyrus have a wide variety of shapes, including [[Dragonoid|dragons]], [[Krakix|samurai]] , and [[Blitz Fox|kitsune]].

==LegacyGeneration 1==

The [[Legendary Soldiers|Legendary Soldier]] of Pyrus was [[Apollonir]] before he transferred his [[Attribute Energies|Attribute Energy]] to [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]].

==RebootGeneration 2==[[File:Bbp pyrus.png|21px]] {{Nihongo|'''Pyrus'''|パイラス|Pairasu}} is one of the six elemental [[Factions]] that Bakugan can belong to. It is the Faction of fire. The region on [[Vestroia (RebootGeneration 2)|Vestroia]] where Pyrus Bakugan reside is known as [[Pyrule]].

Albeit sporting a newly redesigned Faction symbol, Pyrus remains relatively unchanged from the [[Pyrus#LegacyGeneration 1|legacy Pyrus]] featured in the original ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]'' series. It is stylized as the Faction of fire and aggression, reflected in both the anime and [[Trading Card Game|TCG]] gameplay, and Bakugan belonging to the group strike either relentlessly or with an arsenal of flame based attacks.

Loyal to their affinity for heat and fire, Pyrus Bakugan in ball form are primarily red in coloration, with orange secondary highlights. Similar to [[Darkus#Reboot|Darkus]], their tertiary color is lime green, although the shade featured on Pyrus Bakugan is farther away from lime and comparably more saturated. In their significantly larger, monster forms, Bakugan of the Pyrus Faction can contain areas of yellow, as well as occasional white portions and black details under their armor that is almost universally shared with other ''[[Battle Planet]]'' Bakugan. Black is also represented as a quaternary color on Pyrus Bakugan in sphere form beginning from the ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' set of products. In ''[[Evolutions]]'' the color scheme of all factions were completely changed. Pyrus Bakugan during this set of products were a brighter warmer red with with orange and dark red as secondary highlights and yellow as an accent color. The Pyrus Faction symbol has been redesigned, and is printed on the top left of all Pyrus [[Character Cards]] and left of the type box on all other Pyrus [[Ability Card (Generation 2)|Ability Cards]], starting from the ''[[Armored Alliance]]'' [[Card sets in Bakugan: Armored Alliance|card expansions]] onwards all Pyrus Bakugan have the faction Symbol Printed on them as well, in addition to appearing as a watermark in the text box on cards. It appears as an angular stylized flame that resembles a helix or an elaborate blade.

Pyrus is used by one of the main protagonists of the ''[[Battle Planet]]'', ''[[Armored Alliance]]'', and ''[[Geogan Rising]]'' anime, [[Dan Kouzo (Generation 2)|Dan Kouzo]]. Pyrus is not exclusively used as a Faction of the protagonists, as there are antagonists that utilize it as well, such as [[Duran Dane]] and [[McQ]].

As the most aggressive Faction in the ''Bakugan'' reboot, [[File:Bbp pyrus.png|21px]] '''Pyrus''' is geared towards the offensive and seeks to overwhelm the opponent with damage. As such, it has an unrivaled amount of action cards that can increase their [[File:Icon-damage.png|22px]] [[Damage Rating]]. Pyrus Bakugan typically have lower [[File:Icon-power.png|15px]] [[B-Power]] and higher attack on average, but this can be supplemented with cards that allow the [[File:Victor_symbol.png|21px]] [[Victor (RebootGeneration 2)|Victor]] to be decided by damage rather than B-Power, such as [[Might of Cyndeus|Might of Cyndeous]] or [[Mac (Battle Brawlers)|Mac]]. Pyrus' exclusive [[Tag-Word Ability]] is [[Fury (Battle Planet)|Fury]], which allows members to receive additional bonuses if the effect resolves when the player has no cards in their hand. Unique to Pyrus, their combat keyword is [[File:Double Strike Icon.png|21px]] [[DoubleStrike]], which allows them to inflict double damage. Pyrus is the only Faction that doesn't share their [[FrostStrike|strike]] [[ShadowStrike|keyword]] with another Faction, although occasionally [[File:Bbp aurelus.png{{Attribute|21px]] [[Aurelus]] }} Bakugan utilize it as well.

Other staple mechanics of the Pyrus Faction include the ability to deal instant damage without winning a brawl, temporary [[File:Battle_Planet_Energy_Symbol.png|21px]] [[Energy Card|Energy]] generation, and [[File:DrawaCard_icon.png|21px]] [[Draw|Drawing]] cards at the expense of discarding the same amount. [[Quickfire]], [[Song of Fire]], and [[Sifting Ashes]] are all examples of cards that capitalize on these effects. Pyrus is also a natural counter to the strategies of [[File:Bbp ventus.png{{Attribute|21px]] [[Ventus#Reboot|Ventus]] Ventus2}} and [[File:Bbp haos.png|21px]] [[Haos#Reboot{{Attribute|Haos]]Haos2}}, and is the primary faction with access to cards that [[Meltdown|destroy energy]] and [[Hot Potato|negate the effects]] of [[BakuCore (Game piece)|BakuCores]], respectively. Pyrus is capable of directly uncharging or preventing enemy energy cards from recharging at the end of a turn utilizing cards such as [[Energy Drain]], further obstructing common Ventus tactics. Some specific techniques that are exclusive to Pyrus are the ability to draw a card from the top of the player's deck and play it for free if it isn't a [[Flip Card]], and forcing all players to discard their hand and draw an equal amount of cards from their deck, such as with [[Pyrusauna]] or [[Inferno Cannon]].

Pyrus is primarily paired with Haos {{Attribute|Haos2}} and [[File:Bbp darkus.png{{Attribute|21px]] Darkus Darkus2}} on [[Dual Faction Card|Dual Faction Cards]] and Faction exclusive BakuCore bonuses; conversely, Pyrus Flip Cards usually defend against damage from [[File:Bbp aquos.png{{Attribute|21px]] [[Aquos#RebootAquos2}} and {{Attribute|Aquos]] and VentusVentus2}}. These paired Factions share exclusive Tag-Word Abilities: [[Empower]] for Pyrus and Haos, and [[Rapid Fire (Armored Alliance)|Rapid Fire]] for Pyrus and Darkus. Empower provides bonuses if an additional three Energy is paid while playing a card with the effect, whereas Rapid Fire allows the player to play a second Rapid Fire card for free if they've already used one in a turn.

As of the ''[[Secrets of the Geogan]]'' [[Card sets in Bakugan: Geogan Rising|card expansion]], Dual Faction Cards have Pyrus is also been implemented for Aquos paired with {{Attribute|Aquos2}} and Ventus{{Attribute|Ventus2}}, with two new keywords to coincide with them: [[Inspire (Keyword)|Inspire]] for Pyrus and Aquos, and [[Stoke]] for Pyrus and Ventus. Inspire rewards players with bonuses if they play a card with it if they've drawn more than one card in a turn, whereas Stoke allows them to copy a Stoke ability's effect for the cost of two Energy.
