Common (C — black circle)

The base filler rarity. Roughly 6 Commons per booster pack. Non-holo, standard border. Used for starter Pals like Lamball, Cattiva and Chikipi. Bulk value only.

Uncommon (U — black diamond)

About 3 Uncommons per pack. Still non-holo but with a subtle foil name plate. Includes mid-tier Pals such as Foxparks, Depresso and Vixy. Trade fodder for building playsets.

Rare (R — black star)

1 guaranteed Rare per pack. Full-holo art on the Pal illustration only. Contains most competitive staples like Direhowl R, Nitewing R and Lifmunk R.

Super Rare (SR — two black stars)

Pull rate ~1 in 5 packs (about 4 per booster box of 20). Full-holo card with textured foil across the entire card face. Chase Pals include Anubis SR and Jetragon SR.

Art Rare (AR — silver AR stamp)

Pull rate ~1 in 12 packs (roughly 1-2 per box). Alternate full-art illustration with no text box — the Pal fills the whole card. Very popular with collectors.

Special Art Rare (SAR — gold SAR stamp)

Pull rate ~1 in 30 packs (about 0-1 per box). Dynamic diorama art, gold-embossed name and rainbow rim foil. Grizzbolt SAR and Frostallion SAR are the current top pulls.

Ultra Rare (UR / secret — gold UR stamp, out of set number)

Pull rate ~1 in 72 packs. Gold-etched border with the card number exceeding the set list (e.g. 121/120). Only 3 URs exist in Dawn of Palpagos: Jetragon UR, Necromus UR and Paladius UR.
