help with gemini monster - gigaplant

hi i was wondering about the card Gigaplant

i read on wikia that Gemini monsters at lv 5 or higher need no tributes for a Gemini summon. is that true?

PS, can i use its eff at the same turn it was Gemini summoned?

It's true


PS You can use the eff at the same turn it was Gemini summoned.

Gemini mosters need no tributes in order to use their effect. It does, however, use your normal-summon for that turn. It's eff. is treated as a normal-summon, so you cannot use the effect in the turn it is summoned. For example, if I were to tribute-summon Gigaplant, I could not use it's effect during the turn. During my next turn, however, I could have Gigaplant's ability activate instead of normal-summoning a monster. I hope this helps!

EDIT: Ninja'd by Kuuga.

EDIT2: Hang on, Kuuga. I always thought that using gemini abilities counted as a normal-summon?

kk thanks kuuga n brettbstock now i know for sure
