As the generations went on, firm rules of Tag Duels have been established to make it truly this trope. Teammates were able to Tribute their partner's monsters or fuse them with their own, and sometimes the player was able to protect their teammate with their monster Taking the Bullet. Each player had their own fields, Graveyards (now known as GY) and Life Points, meaning that you still need to take down two targets with Life Points. Player A1 -> B1 -> A2 -> B2 and no player was allowed to attack on their first turn. Yu-Gi-Oh!: The earliest form of Tag Duels had four Duelists dueling each other in two-on-two Duels, where the sequence of turns followed this pattern.As such, players in parties take turns attacking a monster and "Switch" with teammates to recover, taking turns until the battle is concluded. In Sword Art Online, monsters only aggro on one player at a time.Tag-team matches occur frequently in Kinnikuman, most commonly in the American Tour and Dream Tag Tournament arcs.Not to be confused with the 1990's rap group who wrote "(Whoomp!) There It Is" and "Pig Power In the House." There's a chance a tag team can be an Opposing Sports Team.

Compare Swiss-Army Hero, where one character has multiple forms they can switch between, and Swap Fighter, for video game characters whose gimmick is that they're a self-contained Tag Team. Tag Team Twins and Ricky Morton are sub tropes.

A Switch-Out Move may be present, as might a Combination Attack. Most commonly seen in Fighting Games where the players can select two or three fighters and change them out between or during fights, possibly using one of teammates as an Assist Character during the fight as well. Whether or not the characters have separate HP meters is an important consideration - sometimes the HP meters are shared, and other times they are distinct. In Video Games, this typically means a group of characters that the player switches control between. A common rule is that, in order to switch, the character must leave the stage and "tag" their partner so they can hop in.
#TAG TEAM PROFESSIONAL#
Derived from a common professional wrestling gimmick match, a tag team is a group of characters that take turns fighting, usually one-on-one.
