There are Ranger Keys for the first 35 Sentai teams: 172 Core Rangers, 16 Sixth Rangers, 10 Extra Heroes, and the aforementioned AbarePink. Aside from the AbarePink key, all other Ranger Keys originated in the Great Legend War, as the Sentai Rangers and Extra Heroes sacrificed their powers to stop Zangyack's first invasion of Earth.
Full-team Changes
Although the Gokaigers can change into any past Sentai Ranger, and use different combinations, like an all Red team. and a black then white trio, the Gokaigers normally just change into a past Sentai team with individual Gokaigers changing to their equivalents or closest analogues.
Gokai Changes by Set
On several occasions, rather than changing into a past team, the Gokaigers change into Rangers all belonging to a particular motif, normally colors. There are also a few team-specific Gokai Changes that don't fit into the default configurations. The finale utilizes themes moreso than other episodes having themed Gokai Changes in rapid-fire succession.

Reverse Gender Changes
If a Gokaiger switches genders with the original ranger, the outfit will take the traits of his or her gender's uniform as styled for the team, like how Dekaranger has slacks for both genders, but Zyuranger has tights (only) for men and skirts and tights for women. Two noticeable gender changes:
- Since Sun Vulcan had no female Sentai heroes, a special VulPanther was utilized with a skirt, particularly with the multiple uses by Luka Millfy.
- Flashman is one of the only Sentai where the changes did not involve just adding a skirt: males had full colored leggings while females had white leggings (with the colored section of the suit resembling a leotard). Thus when Ahim used the Green Flash key and Joe the Pink Flash key, the changes were made accordingly.
