Which Charizard cards are in Champion's Path?
Two, both secret rares: the rainbow Charizard VMAX (074/073) and the shiny Charizard V (079/073), which came out here before its Japanese release in Shiny Star V. There is no regular Charizard in the main set; the Elite Trainer Box added a full art Charizard V promo. The two Charizards drove so much demand that Champion's Path products were hard to find into early 2021. On Oct 29, 2026 they were $247.30 and $187.61 in market prices, about 90% of the value of the set's top ten.
Is there a Champion's Path booster box?
No. Champion's Path was a special set, and its packs were never sold on their own. They came only inside other products: the Elite Trainer Box (10 packs), the Special Pin Collections (5 packs), the Dubwool V and Hatterene V Collections (4 packs), six Gym-themed Pin Collections (3 packs) and a Marnie collection. On Oct 29, 2026 the Elite Trainer Box was $210.23 in market prices and a loose pack $19.97. The Champion's Path sealed product page has today's prices.
What are the pull rates for Champion's Path?
No one has published a large pack-opening study for Champion's Path, and with no booster boxes there is no box count to go by either. Both Charizards are secret rares, and nobody has a reliable figure for either one. At $19.97 a pack on Oct 29, 2026, the shiny Charizard V cost about as much as 12 loose packs, so buying the single is usually the cheaper way to get it.
When did Champion's Path come out?
September 25, 2020, as a special set in the Sword & Shield series. It came after Darkness Ablaze and before Vivid Voltage. It is built mostly from the Japanese set Infinity Zone, plus cards from Explosive Walker, Legendary Heartbeat, the Charizard and Grimmsnarl VMAX Starter Sets, the V Starter Decks and a few Japan-only promos.
