How many monsters can you pendulum summon in one turn?
You can Pendulum Summon any number of monsters from your hand and/or face-up Pendulum Monsters in your Extra Deck in one turn, as long as their individual Levels or Ranks are between the numbers of the Pendulum Scale set by the cards in your Pendulum Zones. The key limitation is that you can only perform one Pendulum Summon per turn, but this single summon can include multiple monsters, making it a powerful Special Summon technique in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Understanding Pendulum Summoning
What is Pendulum Summoning?
Pendulum Summoning is a Special Summon method that allows players to summon multiple monsters at once, provided they have the correct Pendulum Scale set in their Pendulum Zones.
