Effect
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; apply this effect, depending on this card's current battle position. ● Attack Position: If this card attacks an opponent's monster this turn, it gains 1000 ATK, also the opponent's monster loses 500 ATK, during the Damage Step only. ● Defense Position: Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
The monster effect of "Gagaga Cowboy" is an Ignition Effect. (This effect does not target.)
When activating the effect, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card as a cost.
When the effect resolves, the effect applied—either "● Attack Position:" or "● Defense Position:"—is determined by the battle position of "Gagaga Cowboy" itself on the field.
If "Gagaga Cowboy" is no longer on the field when the effect resolves, neither the "● Attack Position:" nor the "● Defense Position:" effect is applied.
