S5a: Peerless Fighters is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the Sword & Shield era, released on March 19, 2021 under the set code S5a. It sits between Rapid Strike Master in January 2021 and Silver Lance in April 2021, making it one of the early-2021 releases in the Japanese Sword & Shield run. It catalogs 96 printings. Its identity comes from the Galarian bird Pokémon, with Galarian Articuno V and Galarian Moltres V each printed in three versions, alongside Blaziken VMAX, the trainers Avery and Brawly, and a Snorlax at the top of the Ultra Rare tier.
The Peerless Fighters card list climbs from commons and uncommons through Double Rare and Triple Rare cards to Super Rare, Ultra Rare and Hyper Rare, with 35 chase-tier cards in all. Galarian Moltres V in Super Rare is the most valuable card, followed by Snorlax in Ultra Rare, Galarian Slowking V, Galarian Articuno V and Galarian Zapdos V. Blaziken VMAX and Galarian Slowking VMAX sit just behind them as Hyper Rares. The top five cards alone carry 69 percent of the set's total card value, so the value is heavily concentrated among the Galarian V cards.
As of October 2026, S5a: Peerless Fighters holds the 6th highest total card value of the 30 comparable Sword & Shield sets, about 2 times the era median, and ranks 65th across the whole game. Its single most valuable card also ranks 6th in the era, and it places 12th for trading activity. Previous set S5R: Rapid Strike Master holds less total value, and next set S6H: Silver Lance also holds less. The Japanese release came first, and its cards reached English players in Chilling Reign, 2 months later, with 40 cards shared between the two.

A complete Peerless Fighters run is 96 printings, of which 95 are priced. Because the top five cards hold 69 percent of the set's value, the cost of finishing it depends mostly on a short list of Galarian V cards and the Hyper Rare VMAX cards, while the commons, uncommons and basic rares make up the bulk of the count. Sealed product for the set includes a booster box and booster packs, the two formats most collectors would use to open into the chase tier.
