'''Bakugan Traps''', {{nihongo|'''Summon Bakugan'''|召喚爆丸|Shokan Bakugan}} in the Japanese version, 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 though early prototypes and release versions do. Instead they have [[Attributes]], and allow the Bakugan it is played alongside to change attribute. 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 (Generation 1)|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.

The Bakugan [[Wired]], [[Scraper]], [[Klawgor]], [[Foxbat]], [[Leefram]], [[Spindle]] and [[Fencer]] were initially considered Bakugan Traps on the Bakugan website, although this mention was later removed, and all seven were instead released as regular Bakugan.
[[Zeon Hylash]] and [[Dartaak]] were supposed to be Traps, but were instead released in [[Gundalian Invaders]] as normal Core Bakugan, despite their shapes.
==Trap Bakugan in the Anime==
*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).
