If a face down Penguin Soldier is attacked can its effect be used on itself after it is flipped?

No, the normal result of battle applies first, then the effect.
Monsters considered destroyed by battle are not actually sent to the graveyard until the end of the Damage Step, this is after any flip effects have resolved. So Penguin Soldier is actually still on the field when his flip effect activates. However, monsters considered destroyed by battle can not be affected by effects that try to return them to hand or deck. Penguin Soldier will be unable to choose himself as a monster to return, unless he survived Damage Calculation.

Does penguin soldier's effect work once it is killed?
Yes. If penguin soldier is attacked when it is face-down, it automatically flips face-up and the effect is activated before it goes to the graveyard.
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.
Does Gale Lizard still get destroyed if it's attacked by a stronger monster?
Yes. Flip Effects are applied after damage calculation. If Gale Lizard's attacked, it's flipped face-up, then you calculate damage to see if it's destroyed. Then, its effect will activate and return an opponent's monster and Gale Lizardwill be destroyed.
Can you chain Effect Veiler or Fiendish Chain to the negate Needle Worm or Morphing Jar when they are summoned in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Yes. Effect Veiler can chain to their activations in the main phase, and Fiendish Chain can chain to them at any time outside the damage step (meaning if they are attacked and flipped, it can't negate them).
Does a flip effect active if the card was removed from play?
No. Flip Effects only activate when the card is flipped, which will happen when Flip Summoned, or when the monster is attacked, or when an effect specifically directs it to be turned face up. Simply destroying a face-down monster, or removing it from play, does not 'flip' it, so Flip Effects will not activate.

No, flip effect activate when the card is flipped, which will be by Flip Summon, or being attacked, or flipped by an effect. Simply being destroyed while face down, will not 'flip' the monster.
What is the difference between flip and flip summon in yu-gi-oh?
If a face down monster is attacked, then it is flipped for damage calculation, if you flip summon, you do it by choice during your turn. Flip counts for both. For Flip cards like penguin soldier, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is activated. For Flip Summon cards like swarm of scarabs, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is NOT activated. Both types are activated if you flip summon it. (Also flip activates after damage calculation if you are attacked, so if penguin soldier would be destroyed by the attack, he can't return himself to your hand because he is already destroyed)
When you play Raigeki to destroy your opponent's face-down Man-Eater Bug is its Flip Effect activated?
No. Monsters are only ever flipped if they are Flip Summoned, attacked while face-down, or when a card effect specifically says they are flipped. Monsters are never considered flipped if destroyed, or tributed while face-down.
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.

If a Yugioh card is flipped by battle is it considered a summon?
No, it is not considered a Summon. Therefore, the effects of cards such as Golem Sentry are not activated as it requires the card to be FLIP SUMMONED. However, it is considered to be "flipped" meaning that Flip Effect Monsters' effects are activated when successfully attacked.
Would the effect of Harpie Lady 3 activate if she was destroyed in face down defense position?
If "Harpie Lady 3" is destroyed while face-down by the effect of any LV "Mystic Swordsman" or "Sasuke Samurai", it's effect will not work since it was not flipped face-up. If it was attacked while face-down, it is flipped face-up and after damage calculation, it's effect will activate.
Can penguin soldier effect target him self?

If a monster is attacked face down is it flip summoned?
A monster flipped face-up by a card effect, such as "Book of Taiyou" or "Stop Defense", or as a result of battle is notconsidered a Flip Summon. Only flipping a Set monster manually is considered a Flip Summon.So if you attack a face-down Stealth Bird, it will be flipped but not Flip Summoned, so its effect will not activate.
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.
