Are Promo Card Volume 1 cards tournament legal?

Yes — PR promo cards are fully tournament legal in the Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME. A promo counts as the same card as any other printing of that name, so the standard four-copy limit applies across all versions.

Legality basics

Promo printings are legal in constructed play because they carry the same name, cost and text as their standard counterparts. The PR stamp is a distribution mark, not a format restriction.

The copy limit

Four copies of a card name per deck, counting every printing together. Four EPR-001 Lamball plus a booster Lamball of the same name would be five copies and an illegal deck.

Sleeve and marking rules

Promo foiling can look distinct from the back-side card stock in a mixed deck. Judges expect opaque, uniform sleeves so promo cards cannot be identified face-down.

Unique promo text

Where a promo carries text that no booster version has — as EPR-001 does with its ◇4 attack immunity — it functions as its own card name for the copy limit, so read the printed name carefully before deck-listing.

Checking before an event

Rules and legality updates publish on the official rules page. Build the list in the Pal Stars /deck-builder, which enforces the four-copy limit against official codes automatically.
