In Yu-Gi-Oh can you turn a card from defense to attack position or attack to defense position?
Yes. Once per turn, a monster may switch from face-up attack mode to face-up defence mode, or vice-versa, as long as the monster was not summoned that turn, and had not declared an attack. If the monster is face-down, then turning it face up into attack mode is a Flip Summon, which can't be done on the turn the monster was Set from hand.
What happens if a monster 'must attack if able' while it was in defense mode in Main Phase 1 in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Nothing, unless the card specifically mentions a penalty for not attacking. If a monster is in defense mode it is not able to declare an attack, and there are no consequences for not attacking unless the monster's text mentions one.
If a monster is attacked face down is it flip summoned?
A monster flipped face-up by a card effect, such as "Book of Taiyou" or "Stop Defense", or as a result of battle is notconsidered a Flip Summon. Only flipping a Set monster manually is considered a Flip Summon.So if you attack a face-down Stealth Bird, it will be flipped but not Flip Summoned, so its effect will not activate.
Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed?
Destroying a monster does not flip it. But if a monster is flipped face-up when attacked, and considered destroyed by battle, then the flip effect will still activate.
Can you change a monster from attack position to defense position after it has attacked?
Not manually, no. A monster that has declared an attack that turn, may not switch into defence mode. But it can be switched by the effect of other cards, including their own, in the case of Goblin Attack Force.
When you flip a monster in attack mode and not attack can you switch it to defense position after?
Yes if you wait a turn
Can you summon a monster face down atk mode?
No. A Normal Summon is face-up ATK mode, a Set is face-down Defense Mode, and a special summons can vary from face-up attack, face-up defense or face-down defense. No card can summon in face-down ATK mode, however the card Darkness Approaches can flip an ATK mode monster face-down without changing the battle position.
In Yu-Gi-Oh can you turn a card from defense to attack position or attack to defense position?
Yes. Once per turn, a monster may switch from face-up attack mode to face-up defence mode, or vice-versa, as long as the monster was not summoned that turn, and had not declared an attack. If the monster is face-down, then turning it face up into attack mode is a Flip Summon, which can't be done on the turn the monster was Set from hand.
Can you change your monster's position into face-down defense?
The monster is flipped into face-up defense position and any battle damage that occurs is calculated. Afterwards the monster that was attacked remains on the field and is not sent to the Graveyard.Examples of monsters that cannot be destroyed in battle are Spirit Reaper and Marshmallon.If a monster attacks with an effect that enables it to deal damage equal to the difference in its ATK and the defending monster's DEF (like Twin-Sword Marauder or a monster equipped with Big Bang Shot), the damage is calculated but the monster is still not destroyed in battle.
Can you activate torrential tribute or bottomless trap hole when you attack a face down monster with high defense?
Torrential Tribute and Bottomless Trap Hole can only be used in response to a monster's summon. Attacking a monster does not summon it (note that if the monster is face down, this is a Flip and not a Flip Summon).
What happens if a monster 'must attack if able' while it was in defense mode in Main Phase 1 in Yu-Gi-Oh?

If a monster is attacked face down is it flip summoned?
A monster flipped face-up by a card effect, such as "Book of Taiyou" or "Stop Defense", or as a result of battle is notconsidered a Flip Summon.

Can you Synchro Summon in defense mode?
A Synchro Summon is a special summon, so the summoned monster can be in attack or defence mode, just must be face up.
Can you Flip Summon a monster in Main Phase 1 if it was flipped face-down by a card effect also during Main Phase 1 in Yu-Gi-Oh?
The short answer is no. The long answer is: When your face-down defense position card is attacked, only then does it go to face-up defense position. All other times, when you flip it yourself, it goes into face-up attack position.
Can you flip summon a monster that you set that turn?
Generally, no. Synchro Monsters are initially Special Summoned FACE-UP. Therefore, there is not a need for it to be Flip Summoned. However, that Synchro Monster may be affected by a card effect such as Book of Moon. In this case, the Synchro Monster is changed to face-down Defense Position. You can then Flip Summon it when possible.
Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed?
Destroying a monster does not flip it. But if a monster is flipped face-up when attacked, and considered destroyed by battle, then the flip effect will still activate.
What is flipped about?
Flipped is a term used when a monster is switched from Face down defense Position, to face up attack position. It is also referred to when a face down defense position monster is switched to face up defense in battle. Some monsters, known as "Flip effect monsters" have special abilities that only activate when they are flipped. For example, Man-Eater bug is completely harlmess when it's summoned in attack mode. However, if someone were to set it (Summon it in face down defense mode) first, and then flip it on the next turn, it's ability activates. Man-eater bug's effect also activates when it is flipped in battle.
