'''Bakugan Traps''' (Japanese version: '''Summon Bakugan''' (召喚爆丸) ''Shokan Bakugan'') are a type of [[Bakugan]] that comes with [[Bakugan: New Vestroia]] and [[BakuNeon]] series Bakugan. Unlike previous pieces, they don't have [[G-Power]], but there was rumors they were supposed to, instead they have [[Attributes]]. In the show, the are usually Mechanical.

Bakugan Traps are shaped differently than normal Bakugan pieces. Each Trap has at least one attribute, or a second attribute symbol hidden inside. Unlike the normal pieces, they are only played during the battle stage, after the [[Gate Card]] has been flipped up. The Trap piece must have the same [[Attribute]] as the battling piece. The battling piece then has its attribute changed to one of the attributes hidden inside the Trap piece.

For example, a Haos Dragonoid is played as the battling piece against a [[Ventus]] [[Falconeer]]. Once both pieces are standing on the Gate Card, the card is flipped and the player controlling the [[Dragonoid]] stands his/her [[Haos]] [[Zoack]] on the Gate Card. The Zoack has a [[Darkus]] attribute symbol hidden behind its arm, changing the Dragonoid to the [[Darkus]] attribute.

Like regular battling pieces, many Traps also have their own [[Ability Card]]s, like Tripod Epsilon and Dynamo

In the [[New Vestroia]] rules, you are allowed to use only one Bakugan Trap in a game (two in the "Big Game Rules"). It stays with your normal Bakugan and other than stated above, follows all of the same rules.

In the new [[Gundalian Invaders]] rules, you are allowed to play two Bakugan Traps.

==Trap Bakugan in the Anime==Trap Bakugan first appear in [[Bakugan: New Vestroia]]. They don't talk. Unlike in the actual rules, Traps have a [[G-Power]] and generally are treated the same as normal Bakugan, the only difference being their shape and their position as "backup".

Traps do not appear in [[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders]]. Hylash dying is most likely an excuse for him not appearing.

In the second half of Bakugan: New Vestroia every trap received a new name for no reason. These names are inconsistent with the previous half of the season and the products, but consistent within the half they are used. While there is a theory that they were given nicknames by their partners, there is proof against it for the others, as several Traps not seen in the first half have been introduced with incorrect names as well. However, on Japanese sites, the names are translated from Japanese into the incorrect names, for example, Hexstar being called Carlvelt. The nicknames/names mistakes are:

*[[Hylash]]- Slash*[[Scorpion]]- Scorpio*[[Piercian]]- Guardian*[[Flash Falcon Fly]]- Rad Fly*[[Dynamo]]- Drone Spider*[[Hexstar]]- Carlvelt*[[Tripod Epsilon]]- Theta

==Bakugan Traps seen in the Anime==

* [[Dan Kuso]] - [[Pyrus]] [[Scorpion]]/[[Maxus Dragonoid]] Traps* [[Marucho]] - [[Aquos]] [[Tripod Epsilon]]* [[Shun Kazami]] - [[Ventus]] [[Hylash]] (Deceased)* [[Ace Grit]] - [[Darkus]] [[Falcon Fly]]/[[Darkus]] [[Flash Falcon Fly]] (Seems to have evolved by episode 37)* [[Mira Fermin]] - [[Subterra]] [[Baliton]]* [[Baron|Baron Leltoy]] - [[Haos]] [[Piercian]]

* [[Spectra Phantom]] - Pyrus [[Metalfencer]]* [[Gus Grav]] - Subterra [[Hexados]] (Deceased)* [[Lync Volan]] - Ventus [[Wired]] (Not actually a Trap)* [[Volt Luster]] - Haos [[Dynamo]], Haos [[Hexstar]]* [[Shadow Prove]] - Darkus [[Fortress]]* [[Mylene Farrow]] - Aquos [[Tripod Theta]] (Likely Deceased, black smoke came out of it and Mylene only used it once)

*In Arc 2 of New Vestroia, all traps were referred to by their Japanese names.*Traps were replaced by [[Battle Gear]], as the more Battle Gear is used, the less Traps are. Battle Gear were replaced by [[BakuNano]] in [[Mechtanium Surge]].*The traps' replacement seems to mirror the Vexos replacing their Bakugan with mechanical ones (both replace natural Bakugan with mechanical ones).*[[Zeon Hylash]] and [[Dartaak]] were supposed to be Traps, but were released in [[Gundalian Invaders]] instead as normal Core Bakugan.
