Move cards

Move Cards are special cards that can boost your dinosaur's attack and defense, as well as unleash a special attack that can give you a huge advantage in battle

## background

There are two main types of Move Cards: Normal Moves and Super Moves. Normal Move Cards can be used by all dinosaurs, but don't have as much of an effect as Super Move Cards. Super Move Cards can only be used by dinosaurs of the same Element, but they are very powerful

In the anime, Move Cards are one of 2 card types alongside Dinosaur. The body of the cards are a pale orange color. They can be activated alongside wild dinosaurs' cards by the environment and wind up "inside" the dinosaur to be used whenever desired. They can also be swiped/placed on a device that has summoned a dinosaur to have them use it at any point, even when not in a battle. Unlike other media, there is no limit on how many Moves can be used by a dinosaur how many times during a battle, and no application of the Signs system is present. They were first created before the events of the series by Dr. Z to make dinosaurs even more powerful during his initial (unsuccessful) campaign to create a dinosaur kingdom.

The anime contains many but not all Move Cards from the arcade game, though sometimes with different names. Very few of the Moves in the anime ever have their front artwork seen, instead only showing the Element-based card backs for ease of animation

## other move cards

### ultimate moves

The Dinosaur king arcade Gekizan waves introduced armored dinosaur cards, each of which featured an exclusive Move that was only usable after the dinosaur gained its armor (charged by filling a bar at the bottom from winning R-P-S) that didn't have a Sign or count towards the 3-Move limit. As the name suggests, they are typically strong enough to defeat any enemy in one hit, but they do have a finite limit on damage instead of a programed 1-hit K.O., as seen when facing Goma's unfairly overpowered Eocarcharia in his arcade hidden boss stage. Ultimate Moves have no cards in the arcade game, instead being a built-in feature of the dinosaurs' cards, while only the DinoTector Moves have cards in the anime, and they and at least some of the Spectral Moves do in the TCG.

* DinoTector Ultimate Moves:
	+ Terry & Tyrannosaurus - Ultimate Fire
	+ Spiny & Spinosaurus - Ultimate Water
	+ Chomp & Triceratops - Ultimate Thunder
	+ Tank & Saichania - Ultimate Earth
	+ Paris & Parasaurolophus - Ultimate Leaf
	+ Ace & Carnotaurus - Ultimate Wind
