If you've opened your first packs of Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME: Dawn of Palpagos, you may have noticed that Palworld uses a surprisingly large number of rarity codes.
C. U. R. RR. SR. OSR. SP. SSP.
And then there are Trial Deck rarities such as TSR and TSP — plus the extremely rare SSS rarity.
So which Palworld cards are actually rare?
Which ones are the big hits?
And what exactly should you be looking for when opening a Dawn of Palpagos booster box?
Here's our complete Palworld OCG rarity guide.
Palworld OCG Rarities at a Glance
For Dawn of Palpagos, the rarity ladder broadly works like this:
| Rarity | Type | How to Think About It |
|---|---|---|
| C | Common | Standard base-set card |
| U | Uncommon | Less common base card |
| R | Rare | Regular rare |
| RR | Double Rare | Highest standard base rarity |
| SR | Super Rare | Premium parallel |
| OSR | OSR | Higher-end parallel/chase card |

| SSP | SSP | Extremely rare premium parallel |
| SSS | SSS | Current top chase rarity |

| PR | Promo | Promotional/event card |
One important point before we go any further:
Bushiroad has not officially published pull-rate odds for Dawn of Palpagos.
You'll find plenty of estimated odds online, but those are based on community openings rather than guaranteed manufacturer ratios.
So when somebody says an SSP is exactly “one in five boxes”, treat that as an estimate — not an official Palworld OCG pull rate.
C – Common
C cards are the Common cards of Palworld OCG.
They're the cards you'll encounter most frequently while opening booster packs and form a large part of the playable card pool.
Dawn of Palpagos contains 34 Common card types in its base set.
Common doesn't mean useless.
In a competitive card game, rarity and power are not necessarily the same thing.
A Common card can easily become a four-copy staple in a successful competitive deck if its effect fits the strategy.
Collectors may overlook them.
Players shouldn't.
U – Uncommon
U stands for Uncommon.
Dawn of Palpagos contains 30 Uncommon card types.
You'll naturally encounter fewer copies of these than Commons, although they're still part of the regular base-set card pool rather than what most collectors would consider a major “hit”.
Again, an Uncommon card shouldn't automatically be judged by its financial value.
Competitive usefulness ultimately depends on what the card actually does.
R – Rare
Next comes R — Rare.
There are 24 Rare cards in the Dawn of Palpagos base set.
These are a step above Commons and Uncommons and are part of the normal rarity structure you'll encounter while opening booster packs.
At this stage we're still talking about standard cards rather than the major alternate-art chase cards that attract most collector attention.
RR – Double Rare
RR — Double Rare is the highest of the four standard base rarities listed for Dawn of Palpagos.
The set contains:
- 34 C
- 30 U
- 24 R
- 12 RR
Together, those make up the 100 standard card types officially advertised for Booster Pack 01.
That distinction is worth understanding.
When Bushiroad describes Dawn of Palpagos as having 100 card types plus parallels, these C, U, R and RR cards are the core 100-card set.
The rarities above RR are largely where the parallel and collector chase versions begin.
SR – Super Rare
Now things become more interesting.
SR cards are Super Rare parallel cards.
Rather than necessarily representing entirely different playable cards, Palworld's higher rarities often provide premium versions of cards that also exist elsewhere in the set.
That distinction matters for players.
Owning an expensive parallel version doesn't normally give you access to an exclusive stronger version of an effect.
It gives you a more collectible version of the same underlying card.
For Dawn of Palpagos, the official card database currently contains 30 SR printings.
For collectors opening packs, SR is where a pull starts to feel considerably more special than the normal base rarity cards.
OSR – One of Dawn of Palpagos' Major Hits
Above SR sits OSR.
Dawn of Palpagos contains 15 OSR cards in the currently documented card pool.
These are premium parallel treatments and are among the cards collectors actively look for when opening booster boxes.
Visually, you'll generally notice a substantial jump from the ordinary versions of these cards.
OSRs are desirable, but they are not the highest rarity in Dawn of Palpagos.
That's an important distinction because some early listings and discussions have treated OSR cards as though they're at the very top of the set.
There are several rarities above them.
SP – Special
Next comes SP.
There are 12 SP cards documented for Dawn of Palpagos.
SP cards sit firmly within the chase-card territory of the set and use premium artwork/treatments that make them significantly more collectible than ordinary versions.
If you're opening Palworld primarily as a collector rather than simply trying to build a playable deck, SP is one of the rarity marks you want to see.
But there's still another level.
Actually, two.
SSP – One of Palworld OCG's Biggest Chase Rarities
SSP is where Dawn of Palpagos gets seriously difficult.
There are only four SSP cards in the first booster set:
Jormuntide Ignis – Savage Lava Dragon
EBP01-001SSP
Chillet – Dragon Whisperer
EBP01-025SSP
Lyleen – Blessing of the Goddess
EBP01-049SSP
Helzephyr – Wings of the Moonless Night
EBP01-073SSP
These are among the headline collector cards in Dawn of Palpagos.
The official Palworld card database, for example, lists Jormuntide Ignis – Savage Lava Dragon specifically as rarity SSP.
If you see SSP at the bottom of your card...
you've hit one of Dawn of Palpagos' major chase cards.
However, remarkably, SSP isn't actually the top.
SSS – The Rarest Dawn of Palpagos Rarity
Then we reach SSS.
This is where Dawn of Palpagos produced a launch-day surprise.
When the set was initially promoted, SSP appeared to be the top rarity.
But when Dawn of Palpagos launched on 30 July 2026, Bushiroad revealed that an additional rarity existed above SSP:
SSS
The standout SSS card is the extraordinary full-gold Cattiva Soul card.
The Japanese Palworld OCG announcement described the SSS card as appearing only extremely rarely and confirmed that the rarity sits above SSP.
Unlike an ordinary Pal card, this is a premium version of a Soul card — one of the resources used during Palworld OCG gameplay.
Its all-gold presentation instantly made it one of the most recognisable cards from the game's first ever booster set.
For collectors asking:
What is the rarest card in Dawn of Palpagos?
At the moment, SSS is the highest officially revealed rarity tier in Booster Pack 01.
And the gold Cattiva Soul is the card everyone opening Dawn of Palpagos dreams of finding.
TD – Trial Deck
Not every Palworld rarity comes from booster packs.
TD is used for the normal cards found in Palworld's Trial Deck products.
Dawn of Palpagos launched with two:
Red / Blue Trial Deck
and
Green / Purple Trial Deck
Each includes a complete:
- 50-card Main Deck
- 10-card Soul Deck
alongside the accessories required to begin playing.
But the decks also contain something particularly interesting for collectors.
TSR – Trial Deck Super Rare
TSR is a premium parallel rarity found in Palworld Trial Decks.
Bushiroad officially states that each Dawn of Palpagos Trial Deck contains one parallel rarity card, either:
TSR
or the much rarer:
TSP
replacing the corresponding standard card inside the 50-card Main Deck.
That means Trial Decks aren't completely identical products from a collector perspective.
Opening one gives you the chance of finding an upgraded parallel card.
TSP – Trial Deck Super Parallel
TSP is the premium Trial Deck chase rarity.
Examples documented in the official card database include cards such as:
Grizzbolt – Rumbling Tank TSP
and
Elphidran Aqua – Gentle Ripples TSP.
Because each Trial Deck only contains one TSR/TSP parallel slot, pulling the premium TSP version can make opening a Trial Deck considerably more exciting.
It's therefore important not to ignore Trial Decks when discussing Palworld's collectible rarities.
Some of the game's exclusive artwork and parallels originate there rather than in standard booster boxes.
PR – Promotional Cards
Finally we have PR.
PR cards are promotional releases rather than ordinary booster-pack cards.
These can come from activities including:
- events
- demo sessions
- organised play
- promotional campaigns
- tournament participation
This category could become particularly interesting to collectors over time.
Unlike booster cards, some promotional cards are only available during a specific event or campaign.
That potentially gives certain PR cards a much smaller distribution window.
As Palworld OCG's organised-play programme expands, this is a section of the market worth watching.
What Is the Rarity Order in Palworld OCG?
For Dawn of Palpagos booster cards, the simplest collector-friendly way of viewing the hierarchy is:
C → U → R → RR → SR → OSR → SP → SSP → SSS
However, remember that the first four form the normal base-set rarity structure, while many of the rarities above them are premium parallel versions.
Trial Decks have their own structure:
TD → TSR → TSP
while:
PR
covers promotional cards.
What Is the Rarest Palworld OCG Rarity?
The highest rarity currently revealed for Dawn of Palpagos is:
SSS
Bushiroad revealed SSS at launch as a rarity above SSP.
The all-gold Cattiva Soul card has consequently become one of the defining chase cards from Palworld OCG's first ever set.
SSP follows immediately below it, with only four SSP cards appearing in Dawn of Palpagos.
What Are the Palworld OCG Pull Rates?
This is probably the biggest question collectors are asking.
Unfortunately, there is currently no official Bushiroad pull-rate table for Dawn of Palpagos.
Community box openings are already beginning to establish approximate expectations, but sample sizes remain relatively small.
That's particularly important when discussing extremely scarce cards such as SSP and SSS.
Opening five boxes and seeing one particular rarity does not automatically mean the manufacturer guarantees one every five boxes.
We'll be maintaining a separate Dawn of Palpagos Pull Rate Guide using as much verified opening data as possible.
That will allow us to update estimated rates as the amount of available evidence increases.
How Many Cards Are in Dawn of Palpagos?
Bushiroad officially lists Dawn of Palpagos as containing:
100 standard card types
made up of:
- RR
- R
- U
- C
plus 61 listed parallel card types.
Each booster pack contains 7 cards, while a booster box contains 12 packs.
Dawn of Palpagos released worldwide on 30 July 2026 and became the first booster set in the history of Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME.
Are Higher-Rarity Palworld Cards Better in the Game?
Not necessarily.
This is one of the most important things for new collectors to understand.
A premium parallel card can represent the same underlying playable card as its cheaper version.
The difference is largely its:
- artwork
- foil treatment
- rarity
- collectibility
- scarcity
You therefore do not need to build an expensive collection of SSP cards to play competitively.
That's good news for the long-term health of the game.
Players can build decks using affordable versions while collectors chase premium versions of their favourite cards.
Which Palworld Cards Should Collectors Look For?
From Dawn of Palpagos, the obvious rarity marks to watch are:
SSS
SSP
SP
OSR
and selected:
TSP Trial Deck cards.
But rarity isn't the only thing that creates value.
Popular Pals, spectacular artwork, competitive relevance, supply and future reprints can all affect demand.
And because Palworld OCG only launched in July 2026, its collector market is still extremely young.
Prices can — and almost certainly will — move considerably as more product reaches the market.

Final Thoughts
Palworld OCG has created a surprisingly deep rarity system for its very first set.
For ordinary booster cards:
C → U → R → RR
forms the basic set.
Then:
SR → OSR → SP → SSP → SSS
takes you progressively deeper into collector territory.
Trial Deck collectors also have:
TSR and TSP
to hunt, while promotional PR cards give organised-play collectors something entirely different to chase.
And this is only Set 01.
With Legends Awaken – BP02 arriving on 30 October 2026, the Palworld OCG rarity system — and the list of cards collectors are chasing — has only just begun.
This guide will be updated as Bushiroad releases new sets, rarity information and official product details.
