No. A monster that is face down does not 'flip' when destroyed by a card effect, and will not trigger any flip effects.

Can you flip summon a monster then attack with it?

the answer is yes you can. unless the flip summoned monster's effect destroys it or prevents attacking. You can only attack if you flipped in Main Phase 1, you can't after your battle phase


Can you attack with 'Golem Sentry' and then flip him facedown?

A monster can't manually change battle position on the turn it declared an attack, but it can still be flipped face-down by an effect. Golem Sentry can attack, then activate its effect in main phase 2 and flip itself face down.


Does a flip effect activate when the monster is destroyed by the effect of another monster?

Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.


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 a Token be flipped face-down in Yu-Gi-Oh?

No. You cannot target a Token monster with an effect that would flip it face down. However if one would be affected by a non-targeted effect that would try to do so, it will be switched into defense position but remain face-up.

If you destroy a monster is it considered flipped?

If a monster attacks it - yes it gets flipped even if it's destroyed. If, for example, it gets nobleman of crossout on it than no, it does not get flipped. There are cards like Sasuke Samurai and Six Samurai - Irou destroys a face down card without it being flipped.

Can a card effect target a token if it says to target a monster?

Monster Tokens are considered Monster Cards for all intents and purposes, except that they cannot be flipped face-down, and 'cease to exist' if an effect destroys them or tries to remove them from the field.


Is a face-down monster flipped face-up if attacked by a monster?

The monster will be flipped face-up at the beginning of the Damage Step. If the attacking monster is destroyed or switched to defence position before this, the defending monster is not flipped, as there is no Damage Step.


Is a face-down monster flipped face-up if it is targeted by a card effect?

No. Face-down monsters only flip under the following circumstances. - A monster declares an attack against it, the attack is not stopped, and the damage step is entered. The face-down monster will be flipped face-up. - The player that controls it Flip Summons it in his own main phase. - A card effect specifically says to flip the monster, such as Swords of Revealing Light. Monsters do not flip if targeted by a spell, and they do not flip if they are destroyed by an effect while face down.


Is a face-down monster flipped face-up if a card effect targets it?

No, because it never gets flipped face-up. You can activate Raigeki Break to destroy an opponent's face-down Man-eater Bug without any monster on the field getting destroyed.

When a monster attacks a facedown monster is that flip summon?

No, a 'Flip Summon' is a manual change from face-down defence to face-up attack position in one of your main phases. If the monster is flipped from an attack, or by an effect, then this is a Flip, but not a Flip Summon. Therefore regular Flip Effect monsters like Night Assailant will trigger from being attacked, but monsters that require Flip Summoning like Guardian Sphinx will not.
