Palworld TCG Rarity Guide
The small letter code in the bottom corner of a Palworld card tells you how scarce it is — and usually how valuable it becomes. Here is what every rarity code means.
U
Uncommon
Slightly stronger effects and a foil-stamped set symbol. Usually one or two per pack.
R
Rare
Holographic art window with a named Pal and a signature partner skill.
SR
Super Rare
Full holo card with textured lettering. Typically the strongest playable version of a Pal.
OSR
Double Rare
Double-treatment holo with an extended art window that breaks the card frame.
SP
Special / Alternate Art
Alternate illustration showing the Pal in its natural habitat, printed edge to edge.
SSP
Secret Rare
Numbered beyond the printed set size. The hardest pulls in the set and the usual centrepiece of a collection.
SOUL
Soul
Gold-tinted Soul variants introduced in the elemental sub-sets. High-risk effects that spend resources for large swings.
Why rarity affects price
Lower-print rarities like Super Rare, Double Rare and Secret Rare are harder to pull from booster packs, so collectors and competitive players pay more for them. Special Art and Secret Rare cards also tend to have unique artwork or extended borders that make them stand out in a binder.
At PalCardHQ every listing shows the exact rarity and card number, so you know what you are buying before it reaches your cart.
