Some monsters say that they "can only be Special Summoned by" a certain method or card effect. Examples of this are "Larvae Moth" and "Harpie Lady Sisters".
Usually, you cannot Normal Summon or Set these monsters. These cards cannot be "revived" with "Monster Reborn" and similar cards unless they were properly Special Summoned first using the method written on the card, and were then sent to the Graveyard. For example, if you Special Summon "Harpie Lady Sisters" with the effect of "Elegant Egotist", and the "Harpie Lady Sisters" is then destroyed by "Dark Hole" and sent to the Graveyard, you can use "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon "Harpie Lady Sisters" again. If a "Special Summon-only monster" like "Harpie Lady Sisters" is discarded or sent to the Graveyard from our hand or Deck, without being properly Special Summoned, you cannot use "Monster Reborn" on it. | |
