Ribbuny’s TSR printing shipped with a miscolored Strike frame and no word “Strike” at all, and the official ruling says it still plays at every level.

Behind the Foil
The quirk that defines this printing is in its presentation. The Strike frame on Ribbuny – Little Princess (TSR) is colored incorrectly, and the word “Strike” is missing from it, so the card’s one combat keyword is the part that looks off. It’s a small visual slip on a small card, and it’s the first thing you notice if you know where to look.
Always smiling, unless teased by Cattiva.
Palworld Official Card Game
The error is the reason this printing gets attention, and the official erratum is the place it was formally addressed. It names the card as Ribbuny – Little Princess from the Trial Deck “Dawn of Palpagos Red・Blue” and describes the TSR version’s frame and missing label. Anyone who wants a side-by-side can look at Ribbuny – Little Princess, the standard printing of the same card from the same trial deck.
Lore
Ribbuny is the cheerful sort of Pal, a smiley little princess whose good mood has exactly one known weak spot. That spot is Cattiva, whose teasing is the only thing the card names as able to wipe the grin off. It’s a tiny bit of character writing, and it gives a 200-Power body more personality than its stat line suggests.
Competitive History
Ribbuny is a Neutral Pal with cost 2, Power 200 and Strike 1, and when it goes to the graveyard it grants 1 Material. That makes it a cheap body that leaves something behind. The erratum’s ruling is the important part for the TSR printing: it’s legal at all levels of competitive play and functions as though it carries the correct Strike text, so the printing error changes nothing at the table.

FoilWire Take
Ribbuny is a modest card with an unusually clear story: a plain, playable two-drop whose TSR printing happens to carry a visible mistake that the game’s own rules staff have already waved through. The flaw doesn’t make it stronger, and it doesn’t make it a better card to play. It does make this version easier to remember than most commons-in-spirit, and the flavor text gives the card a personality to match. Fans who enjoy the Cattiva dynamic can also look at Cattiva – Brimming Bravado, which features the Pal behind the teasing.
