[jwplayer dWIP3S6z]The Pokemon Company revealed the new Champion’s Path expansion on July 23. The upcoming TCG set is based on Sword & Shield’s Gym Leaders, and will also reportedly include a fiery Charizard V Card that collectors won’t want to miss.

The Pokemon Trading Card Game just got a little bigger, as it’s getting another expansion pass in September. The new set titled ‘Champion’s Path’ will finally bring Sword & Shield’s popular Gym Leaders to the TCG.

Unlike other sets, the new booster packs will not be sold separately and can only be bought in box sets which will include promos. The latest series is reportedly giving collectors the chance to secure a brand new Charizard V card.

According to the publication, the box will include 10 booster packs, the full art Charizard V promo, and 65 card sleeves which will feature the Fire-type’s epic Gigantamax form.

Champion’s Path will also include Pin Collection boxes based on each Gym Leader in Sword & Shield and will retail for $14.99. On top of including three booster packs, the sets will feature a collectible pin in the shape of the Gym’s badge.

The Elite Trainer box will no doubt be a hot commodity, as it will feature the new Charizard V Card. Those wanting to buy booster packs individually are out luck, as currently there is no plans to sell them separately.
