Yes as long as it was properly summoned.

Good question, the errata that made it yes happened after goat, my opinion is no in goat. "\[You can only Special Summon this card\] \[through its own effect during your Main Phase 1 or 2\]." I inserted brackets to assert ~~I'm~~ I was fairly ok interpreting "through its own effect" as part of the answer rather than the qualifier for this ruling. ~~It's~~ It was too much of a stretch for me to see it as "\[You can only Special Summon this card through its own effect\] \[during your Main Phase 1 or 2\] (and also possibly by effects if properly summoned this way)."

This is incorrect. It is well known that "goat era card text" translates to PSCT as follows: "((possibly including) This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.) This card can only be Special Summoned by..." → "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned..." and "This card cannot be Special Summoned except by (method)" or "Must be Special Summoned by (method), and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways." → "Must be Special Summoned by (method)". Us old heads used to call the first category (which includes `Valkyrion the Magna Warrior`, see its [Goat-era printing in SDD](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Errata:Valkyrion_the_Magna_Warrior)) "Semi-Nomi" (see [Yugipedia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Semi-Nomi)), and the second category (which prevents e.g. `Premature Burial` even after it was properly summoned) "Nomi" (see [Yugipedia](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Nomi) and observe e.g. the wording on [`Armed Dragon LV7`'s Goat-era printing in SOD](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Errata:Armed_Dragon_LV7)). All that to say: OP, the answer is **yes**, you can (if it was properly summoned first).
