No. A Dual Attribute Bakugan can only be one attribute at any given time. If you have a Dual attribute Bakugan in a battle, and it is (for example) currently an Aquos, then it only counts as a single attribute Bakugan giving a single G-Power bonus. If you have a Dual Bakugan in your used or unused pile, you can pick either of the attributes for a single G-Power bonus, but you cannot pick both for a double bonus. This may get a little wonky in some situations. You may need to determine the attribute of a Dual, or other attribute changing Bakugan, at the beginning of the battle for certain cards that may be played that reference to the attributes of Bakugan not currently in battle. Lastly, a Clear Bakugan in a used or unused pile would not count as having ANY attribute until it is given one in a battle.
