In addition to the secret DNA codes, the Bakugan Battle Gear is one of the awesome new features to look forward to with the third Bakugan series, Bakugan Gundalian Invaders! Just as Bakugan New Vestroia introduced Special Attack Bakugan and Bakugan Traps, Bakugan Gundalian Invaders introduces Bakugan Battle Gear.

What is Bakugan Battle Gear?! Well, I will try to explain it here...  If you have followed the cartoon, you will remember that a brawler could play an ability card for his Bakugan, and suddenly robotic armor, new weapons or mechanical wings would attach itself to their monster. Well, this is now what you can do in the game! The new gear can be attached to the back of some Bakugan, and it upgrades them or enhances their G-Power in battle. Like a trap, a Battle Gear is played during battle. However, rather than changing attributes, they give a boost to G-power, usually between 50 and 100 Gs.

So far there are six different known Bakugan Battle Gear - the Battle Turbine, the Rock Hammer, the Vilantor, JetKor, AirKor and Twin Destructor. The Battle Gears have the same colors that normal Bakugan do, but their symbols are different. The symbols mean Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and they correspond to the Gate Cards of the same colors.

Bakugan Battle Gear comes with a 'Reference Card'. These cards are blue, and they are not in any used or unused piles - they simply detail the Battle Gear's special abilities. Battle Gear can be attached to a Bakugan of any attribute, and Reference Cards gives the Battle Gear special abilities. If the Battle Gear matches the color of the Gate, one can pick whichever ability from the card, regardless of attribute.

A player can have any combination of two Battle Gear and/or Traps, meaning they can have one Trap and one Battle Bear, or simply two Battle Gear.
