About Matchless Fighters
What Matchless Fighters is
Matchless Fighters, sold in Japan as Enhanced Expansion Pack: Peerless Fighters, is the fifth Japanese subset of the Sword & Shield era, released on March 19, 2021 with set code S5a. It has 70 cards in the numbered set plus 26 secret prints, 96 in total, sold in five card packs, and every card carries the E regulation mark. It enhances the dual fifth main expansion, Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master, and continues the Single Strike and Rapid Strike mechanics those sets introduced.
The subset brings in Pokémon from The Crown Tundra expansion of Pokémon Sword and Shield. Galarian Slowking, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres debut as Pokémon V and each receives a Special Full Art print, so the V full arts run in pairs from Galarian Articuno V 73 and 74 to Galarian Slowking V 79 and 80. Urshifu returns in both Styles as regular Stage 1 Pokémon, and its base form Kubfu makes its card debut here. The secret prints run from Blaziken V 71 to Fighting Energy 96.
What makes Matchless Fighters different
- Blaziken VMAX Blaziken VMAX has two secret prints at 85 and 86, and the 86 print is the most valuable card in the set in PSA 10, well ahead of every Pokémon V.
- The Galarian birds The Special Full Art Galarian Moltres V 78 ranks second in the set in PSA 10, with Galarian Slowking V 80, Galarian Articuno V 74 and Galarian Zapdos V 76 all in the top seven, the first cards of the Galarian Legendary birds.
- Supporters in the chase list The full art and secret prints of Klara 82 and 90 and Karen's Conviction 81 and 89 all rank in the set's top fifteen in PSA 10, alongside the secret Snorlax 93 in third.
How Matchless Fighters arrived
Peerless Fighters released in Japan on March 19, 2021, eight weeks after Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master on January 22, 2021 and five weeks before Silver Lance and Jet-Black Spirit on April 23, 2021. Its cards reached English as part of Chilling Reign, the fourth Sword & Shield Series expansion, so the Japanese subset is tracked here as its own hub because its prints are the first prints of the Galarian bird V cards and the Blaziken VMAX.

Peerless Fighters was sold in five card booster packs and booster boxes. The sealed table above tracks both.
Collecting and grading Matchless Fighters
Blaziken VMAX 86 leads the set in PSA 10, with Galarian Moltres V 78 second, then Snorlax 93, Galarian Slowking V 80, Galarian Articuno V 74, Klara 82, Galarian Zapdos V 76, Karen's Conviction 89, Blaziken VMAX 85 and Karen's Conviction 81. The live chase list above ranks every tracked card by PSA 10 value.
Japanese print quality keeps PSA 10 rates high on Sword & Shield era cards, so graded premiums are modest outside the Blaziken VMAX 86 and Galarian Moltres V 78. Sealed Peerless Fighters remains obtainable, and the sealed table above tracks what boxes and packs trade for today.
