Move Card Dinosaurs

These are t

he dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and assorted marine reptiles who appear in select Normal, Grass, and Water "Assist Move Cards" (with both dinosaurs and pterosaurs appearing in each of Grass and Normal, and marine reptiles, naturally, appearing in Water). Some Normal Move Dinosaurs are also made Secret Dinosaurs, and select Move Card Dinosaurs from all three elements have been made into regular dinosaurs of the Element they would naturally belong to by the TCG, and one even by the arcade game.

Under nearly all conditions in most media, Assist Move Cards (summon new dinosaurs) and non-Assist Move Cards (don't summon new dinosaurs) are treated with no distinctions, perhaps aside from the extra advantage they give in anime dinosaur battles. On this Wiki, however, Assist Moves are noted differently due to the documentation of the dinosaurs they contain.

Being part of Move Cards and not Dinosaur Cards, they naturally cannot be summoned unless one has already summoned a dinosaur that can use their Move (seen directly in episode 20). In the anime, they can be summoned to do their Move's effect and then stay around to aid in the battle as more combatants (or not), or simply be summoned as combatants without focusing on their effect. In the arcade, they are fully contained within a Move Card and disappear after its effect is complete. In the TCG, Move Card Dinosaurs are merely present in the card's artwork to no special effect, and two (Final Fury and Knockout Blast) are even inconsistent between versions on containing extra dinosaurs or not.

Since Dr. Z who created Move Cards in Anime, it can be assumed that the Move Card Dinosaurs were orginally normal dinosaurs with one of the six attributes. This is supported by the fact that Dr. Z created the Tupuxuara Dive Card, for which he had to transform the Tupuxuara into a Move Card.

Names are listed as "Japanese/English" if different. All anime instances are taken from this list, though the TCG has a number of "new" Assist Move Cards featuring artwork from various versions of these Moves' cards.
