Erratas:
Due to their excessive effects, Penduladies have gotten many erratas, especially with their main Deck effects, to leave some space for opponents to defeat them, regardless of their Weaknesses.

Positive:
Penduladies have been praised as the first Anti-Pendulum Monsters, for their abilities to shut down some Meta Decks, and automatic cards like Qli, with their Penduladies' Scaling Torture, and Phantom Pendulady - Unicore, they can also shut down cards like Apoqliphort Towers or Apoqliphort Skybase, they can also take Match Winners down with these cards, by negating their summon, or destroying them before they achieve their effect, and Custom Pendulum cards, which most of them have very powerful effects.

Negative:
They are also Haters Towards this archetype, with an extreme action to make "Anti-Penduladies" cards thinking that should shut them down and keep Pendulum cards working fine, and of course, a common complain of some players that they cannot defeat Penduladies Decks, missing many staples to shut them down.

Weaknesses:
Even though they have their own strength, Penduladies have weaknesses towards Chaotics, Ally of Justice, Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror, Light-Imprisoning Mirror, also Nekroz can seal the Extra deck, El Shadoll can seal their special Summoning and Swarming the field, since Penduladies rely on their ATK and effects, Skill Drain makes them easy to beat by battle.
