Release date, card count, chase cards and how it compares with the Sword & Shield era.
Champion's Path was released on September 25, 2020, as a Sword & Shield era expansion with the set code CPA. It is a compact release, with 73 official cards and 7 secret cards numbered above that, for 80 printings in all. The set is built around V and VMAX cards, and several names appear in more than one version, among them Drednaw V, Drednaw VMAX, Gardevoir V and Gardevoir VMAX. The headline cards are Charizard V, Charizard VMAX and Gardevoir VMAX. By type it leans on Darkness, Psychic, Fighting and Fire Pokémon.
The Champion's Path card list climbs from commons and uncommons through holo rares to 26 chase-tier cards: Holo Rare V, Ultra Rare, Holo Rare VMAX and Secret Rare. The 7 secret rares sit above the printed count of 73. The most valuable cards are Charizard V and Charizard VMAX, both secret rares, followed by the secret rare Gardevoir VMAX and Drednaw VMAX. Illustrators 5ban Graphics and aky CG Works account for most of the top of the list. Value is extremely concentrated, as the five most valuable cards hold 90 percent of the set's total card value, so these chase cards are what the set is about.

A full Champion's Path run is 80 printings, and all 80 are priced. Because the five most valuable cards hold 90 percent of the set's total card value, the cost of a complete set is set almost entirely by the Charizard and Gardevoir secret rares, while the commons, uncommons and plain holos make up the bulk of the card count for very little of the value. The set has 17 sealed products, covering booster packs, displays and Elite Trainer Boxes alongside a Premium Collection and other sealed items.
