Quick answer: Across 60 Dawn of Palpagos packs (5 booster boxes, release-day openings), expect ~4 Double Rares and ~1 Over Super Rare (OSR) box hit per 12-pack box, with an SP roughly every 2 boxes and an SSP about every 5. Around 45% of packs hold only a regular Rare. The community chases are Relaxaurus and Chillet (plus Shadow Beak and Digtoise), nearly all in the textured OSR / SP tiers. The set launched 30 July 2026 with no settled secondary prices yet — once singles list, buy the specific pal you want rather than chasing it through packs.
What Is Palworld TCG (Dawn of Palpagos)?
Dawn of Palpagos is the first main booster set of the Palworld Trading Card Game, published by Bushiroad and released on 30 July 2026 — the same month the Palworld video game hit its 1.0 launch. The set arrived in English and Japanese simultaneously, alongside two English trial decks (green/purple and red/blue). English boxes are marked first edition.
The base set runs to 100+ cards plus parallels. Cards fall into five gameplay types — Pals, Gear, Event, Structure, and Soul cards — and the rules borrow familiar ideas: a separate 10-card soul (resource) deck, 10 life, and a “strike” value that determines how much life an attack removes. Structures work like Magic's artifacts (you can “assign” a Pal to them for effects), and the game leans into the Palworld theme with guns, capture, and base-building mechanics. It is broadly Pokémon-adjacent but pitched a little older.
For openers, the rarity that matters is the textured OSR (Over Super Rare) — the standout “box hit” — sitting above Double Rare (RR) and Super Rare (SR), with rarer SP and SSP tiers above that and textured parallels of base cards mixed throughout.
Release-day data — treat as directional. This guide is published on launch day. The numbers below are aggregated from early community box openings totalling 5 boosters (60 packs). The per-box floor (Double Rares, Rares, ~1 OSR) is already visible at this sample size; the SP and SSP rates come from a handful of pulls, so expect those to move as more boxes are tracked. There are no settled secondary prices yet — no confirmed singles sales existed at the time of writing. We will update the figures and add prices once the set is in circulation.
Box Contents & Pack Structure
Dawn of Palpagos follows the standard Bushiroad booster structure:
- Booster Box — 12 packs per box
- Booster Pack — 7 cards per pack (Japanese-style crimped/tear-notch packs)
- Trial Decks — two constructed decks (green/purple, red/blue), each including a booster pack and a guaranteed parallel
- Main set — 100+ cards plus parallels; roughly 12 Double Rare (RR) types in the base pool
Each 12-pack box reliably delivers a cluster of Double Rares plus one top hit. From 5 tracked boxes, the typical box produced roughly 4 Double Rares, ~1 Super Rare, and ~1 Over Super Rare (OSR). The higher SP and SSP tiers are not a per-box occurrence — an SP landed about once every two boxes and an SSP roughly once every five boxes in this sample.
Sample breakdown
The 60 packs in this analysis were aggregated from release-day community box openings:
- 5 booster boxes (12 packs each = 60 packs) tracked from launch-week English openings
- Premium hits (OSR / SP / SSP) counted across the full 60-pack sample; RR and SR counted per box
- Common and Uncommon fillers are not individually tallied — the “Rare only” row is derived by subtraction from the total
Pull Rate Data: 60 Packs
The table below expresses every hit as a rate per pack and a per-box expectation across a 12-pack booster box. The “Rare only” row is the honest bottom line: the share of packs that contained nothing above a regular Rare.
5 booster boxes — 60 packs
| Rarity | Pulls | % per Pack | Per 12-Pack Box |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rare only (no Double Rare or above) | 27 | 45.0% | ~5 |
| RR (Double Rare — crystal effect) | 18 | 30.0% | ~4 |
| SR (Super Rare) | 6 | 10.0% | ~1 |
| OSR (Over Super Rare — textured box hit) | 5 | 8.3% | ~1 |
| SP (Special) | 3 | 5.0% | ~0.6 (≈1 in 2 boxes) |
| SSP (Secret / Super Special) | 1 | 1.7% | ~0.2 (≈1 in 5 boxes) |
| Total | 60 | 100% | 12 |
Every pack contains at least one Rare; the “Rare only” row is the share whose top card was just that. Common and Uncommon cards fill the remaining slots in every pack.
Named notable pulls
- OSR (Over Super Rare): across the 5 boxes, observed OSRs included Breeding Farm, Shadowbeat (Seed of Despair), and a Relaxaurus — one textured box hit per box was the norm
- SP (Special): a cracked-ice-foil Pump Action Shotgun and a Petilia (Sweet Blessings) were among the SP-tier cards seen
- Popular chases surfaced: Shadow Beak, Digtoise, Suzaku (Hellfire Wings), and Jormuntide Ignis appeared across the openings
- Parallels: textured parallel versions of base cards showed up periodically — these replace the non-foil version of that card in a pack
Key findings
- One hit per box: the OSR is effectively the guaranteed “box card” — multiple openers pulled exactly one, matching the “zero or one above Double Rare” convention
- Double Rares are the volume foil: ~4 per box, often with a Rare printed behind them in the same slot
- Blank packs: ~45% of packs held only a regular Rare — about 5 of every 12 packs
- Top-tier cadence: SP ~1 per 2 boxes, SSP ~1 per 5 boxes (a single SSP across 60 packs) — a small sample, so treat as an early estimate
Rarity Breakdown
| Rarity Tier | Description | Observed Rate | Expected Per Box |
|---|---|---|---|
| R (Rare) | Standard rare — at least one in every pack | 45% of packs top out here | ~5 (as top card) |
| RR (Double Rare) | Crystal-effect foil; ~12 types in the base set | 30% of packs | ~4 |
| SR (Super Rare) | Higher foil tier below the textured box hit | 10% of packs | ~1 |
| OSR (Over Super Rare) | Textured “box hit” — the standout premium card | 8.3% of packs | ~1 |
| SP (Special) | Special / alt-art treatment above OSR | 5% of packs | ~0.6 (≈1 in 2 boxes) |
| SSP (Secret / Super Special) | Top textured secret rarity — the set's ceiling | 1.7% of packs | ~0.2 (≈1 in 5 boxes) |
| Parallel | Textured parallel of a base card; replaces the non-foil copy | Periodic (not separately tallied) | Several across a box |
SP and SSP rates are drawn from just 4 combined pulls across 60 packs. Expect them to move as more boxes are opened; the RR and OSR-per-box figures are already consistent across the 5 boxes sampled.
The Chase Cards
Dawn of Palpagos launched on 30 July 2026, so no settled secondary prices exist yet — openers repeatedly noted there were no confirmed sales and cards were not yet listed on TCGplayer at release. The table below ranks the community-named chases by early demand; the price column is marked TBC and will be filled once a market forms. Card numbers are also being confirmed and are marked TBC.
| Card | Rarity | Set Number | Est. Price (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relaxaurus | OSR | TBC | TBC* | The most-named chase — a fan-favourite dragon pal; textured box-hit tier |
| Chillet | OSR / SP | TBC | TBC* | Cute, high-demand pal; the other headline chase alongside Relaxaurus |
| Shadow Beak | OSR | TBC | TBC* | “That's fire” reaction card; strong dark-flame artwork |
| Digtoise | OSR / RR | TBC | TBC* | Popular early-game pal pulled as a top hit in multiple boxes |
| Suzaku (Hellfire Wings) | RR | TBC | TBC* | Striking phoenix Double Rare; frequent crystal-effect pull |
| Jormuntide Ignis | SR / Lucky | TBC | TBC* | Strong “Lucky” keyword card — negates damage when milled; playable |
| Pump Action Shotgun | SP | TBC | TBC* | Cracked-ice foil Gear card; novel foiling drove early attention |
| Structure & Gear staples | C / U / R | various | Low | Furnace, workbench, single-shot rifle, etc. — buy as singles, never chase through packs |
*No confirmed secondary sales at publication (30 July 2026). Bushiroad launch prices typically move sharply in the first weeks — check current market prices before buying or selling. There is also unverified community talk of a “God Pack” containing hidden cards; no confirmed evidence existed at the time of writing.
About the box hit
In practice the OSR is the card that defines a box — one textured premium per 12 packs, and it can be any pal in the OSR pool (Relaxaurus, Shadow Beak, Breeding Farm, and Shadowbeat all showed up in this sample). Because there is no per-box guarantee of a specific pal, chasing one named card such as Relaxaurus through opening multiplies the cost. Once the market forms, targeting the exact card you want as a single will almost always be cheaper than opening for it.
Should You Open or Buy Singles?
Open if:
- You're a Palworld fan and want the launch experience of ripping the first-ever set (first edition English boxes)
- You want to build toward the Double Rare set — ~4 RR per box is a dependable, satisfying pull frequency
- You want a genuine (if long-odds) shot at an OSR and treat the specific card as a bonus, not the plan
- You like collecting the textured parallels of base pals as you go
Buy singles if:
- You specifically want Relaxaurus or Chillet — at ~1 OSR per box and that OSR being a random pal, the expected cost to pull your exact card is high
- You want playable Gear, Structure, or Event staples for a deck — these are cheap commons/uncommons, never worth chasing through packs
- You're buying for value rather than fun — once prices settle, a targeted single beats opening for a specific card
The numbers on chasing Relaxaurus
- Observed OSR rate: ~1 per box (5 across 5 boxes)
- That single OSR is a random pal from the OSR pool — Relaxaurus is one of several possible hits
- So the boxes needed to land a specific Relaxaurus are a multiple of the boxes-per-OSR, not one box
- With no secondary market yet, the safest play for value is to wait for singles and buy the exact card — open only for the experience
The honest bottom line: Dawn of Palpagos is a genuinely fun set to crack on launch — Double Rares come thick and fast and the once-a-box OSR gives every box a payoff. But with ~45% of packs blank at the Double-Rare tier and the OSR being a random pal, the math won't favour opening to chase a specific card like Relaxaurus. For now, open a box or two for fun; once the market forms, buy the pal you actually want as a single.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every Palworld TCG pack guarantee an OSR or hit?
No. Across 60 packs (5 booster boxes), roughly 45% of packs contained only a regular Rare with no Double Rare or above — about 5 of every 12 packs in a box. A typical box delivers around 4 Double Rares, ~1 Super Rare, and ~1 Over Super Rare (OSR), with SP and SSP cards appearing far less often.
How many Double Rares and OSRs do you get per box?
From 5 tracked boxes, the typical Dawn of Palpagos box produced about 4 Double Rares (RR), ~1 Super Rare (SR), and ~1 Over Super Rare (OSR). That is roughly 30% per pack for RR, ~10% for SR, and ~8% for the OSR — and openers agree you usually get zero or one card above Double Rare per box.
Is Relaxaurus worth chasing through packs?
Almost never, and the market is unproven — the set launched 30 July 2026 with no settled secondary prices yet. At ~1 OSR per box, and that OSR being a random pal, the expected number of boxes to hit the specific Relaxaurus you want is high. Once singles list, buying the exact card will almost certainly beat opening for it.
What is the OSR and SP pull rate in Palworld TCG?
Across 60 packs we saw about 5 OSRs, 3 SP cards, and 1 SSP — roughly 1 OSR per box, an SP about once every 2 boxes, and an SSP around once every 5 boxes. This is a tiny release-day sample, so treat the top-tier numbers as directional estimates.
How does Dawn of Palpagos compare to other Bushiroad sets?
It uses the familiar Bushiroad structure — 7 cards per pack, 12 packs per box — and, like One Piece or Union Arena, is generous with lower-tier foils (Double Rares are common) while capping premium hits at roughly one textured OSR per box. The “zero or one card above Double Rare per box” convention mirrors how Bushiroad paces its top rarities across most of its games.
Are there parallels and God Packs in Palworld TCG?
Yes to parallels — many base cards have textured parallel versions that replace their non-foil copy, and the trial decks include a guaranteed parallel. There is also community chatter about a “God Pack” as the only way to pull certain hidden cards, but at release this remains an unverified rumour with no confirmed video evidence yet.
Is Palworld TCG available in English or only Japanese?
Both. Dawn of Palpagos launched on 30 July 2026 in English and Japanese simultaneously, published by Bushiroad, alongside two English trial decks. The English boxes are marked first edition. The pull data here is from English boxes; the card pool and rarity structure are shared across both languages.
Disclaimer: Pull rates are early community estimates from 60 packs (5 booster boxes) of release-day openings. The RR and OSR-per-box figures are consistent at this sample size; the SP and SSP rates come from just 4 combined pulls — treat them as directional, not confirmed odds. No settled secondary prices existed at publication — verify current prices before buying or selling. This is not financial advice.
