Champion Road Booster Box Buying Guide (SM6b, Japanese Pokemon)

Champion Road Booster Box Buying Guide (SM6b, Japanese Pokemon)

Champion Road is the set that quietly corrects itself every time you look closely at it. The store’s own older coverage once put the total at 86 cards with 20 secret rares; the newer, Limitless-catalogued checklist puts it at 77 cards with 11. This guide uses the corrected number, tells you exactly which four secret rares are worth chasing, and points out the specific card numbers from the older article that don’t actually exist in the set.

Officially titled “強化拡張パック チャンピオンロード” (Champion Road) and coded SM6b, this Sun & Moon-era enhanced expansion released in Japan on May 3, 2018, built directly on top of Forbidden Light (SM6). This guide covers what’s actually inside a box, which cards make up the confirmed chase tier, what condition options exist on our site today, the set’s Japanese-versus-English status, and where to buy sealed product or graded singles from Tokyo — no pull-rate percentages and no third-party market figures anywhere below.

Key Takeaway

SM6b Champion Road is a 77-card enhanced expansion (66 main-set cards plus 11 secret rares, numbered 67–77) released May 3, 2018, in 30-pack boxes of 5 cards per pack — not the 86 cards/20 secret rares an older store article claimed. The four confirmed chase cards are Scizor-GX SR, Salamence-GX SR, Copycat SR and Articuno-GX SR. Our SM6B-Champion Road Japanese Pokemon Booster Box is currently listed at ¥94,500 (~$594), and a PSA10 Copycat SR is currently listed at ¥60,259 (~$379).

What’s in a Champion Road Box

The official Japanese name is “強化拡張パック チャンピオンロード” (Champion Road), carrying the set code SM6b. The “b” suffix marks it as an enhanced expansion — a follow-up release built on top of a main numbered set, in this case Forbidden Light (SM6), rather than a standalone main-series set.

Worth flagging directly: our own store has published two different totals for this set. An older pull rates and best cards article describes Champion Road as an 86-card set with 20 secret rares. Our newer, Limitless TCG-catalogued Champion Road (SM6b) card list puts the verified total at 77 cards — 66 numbered main-set cards plus 11 secret rares, numbered 67 through 77. This guide uses the 77-card figure as the confirmed number, and the full breakdown below explains exactly where the older article’s numbers don’t hold up.

# Card Type
67 Articuno-GX Pokemon-GX
68 Electrode-GX Pokemon-GX
69 Mr. Mime-GX Pokemon-GX
70 Banette-GX Pokemon-GX
71 Scizor-GX Pokemon-GX
72 Salamence-GX Pokemon-GX
73 Underground Expedition Supporter
74 TV Reporter Supporter
75 Apricorn Maker Supporter
76 Bill’s Maintenance Supporter
77 Copycat Supporter

That’s the full secret-rare tier: six Pokemon-GX cards and five Supporter cards, numbered 67–77 out of 66. No numbers past 77 appear in the verified catalog for this set.

Chase Cards in Champion Road

Four cards make up Champion Road’s confirmed chase tier, drawn from the 11-card secret-rare list above. We’re describing them by rarity tier only — no pull-rate figures appear in this guide.

Scizor-GX — 071/066, SR

Scizor-GX SR card, SM6b 071/066, Champion Road
Scizor-GX, SM6b 071/066, SR — Champion Road’s box-art Pokemon

Scizor-GX is the box-art Pokemon for this set, which makes its SR the cleanest set-identity chase of the four.

Salamence-GX — 072/066, SR

Salamence-GX SR card, SM6b 072/066, Champion Road
Salamence-GX, SM6b 072/066, SR — Champion Road

Salamence-GX’s SR is the set’s major Dragon-type GX, sitting one card number after Scizor-GX in the secret-rare run.

Copycat — 077/066, SR

Copycat SR card, SM6b 077/066, Champion Road
Copycat, SM6b 077/066, SR — Champion Road’s closing secret rare

Copycat’s SR is the last numbered card in the set (077) and its best trainer-art chase. A graded PSA10 copy is currently listed at ¥60,259 (~$379).

Articuno-GX — 067/066, SR

Articuno-GX SR card, SM6b 067/066, Champion Road
Articuno-GX, SM6b 067/066, SR — Champion Road’s opening secret rare

Articuno-GX’s SR opens the secret-rare run at 067 and is the set’s legendary-bird GX chase. A graded PSA10 copy is currently listed at ¥34,220 (~$215).

Numbers to Ignore

An older store article on this set names “Scizor-GX HR 082/066,” “Salamence-GX HR 083/066,” “Articuno-GX HR 078/066” and “Rainbow Energy UR 086/066” as chase cards. None of those numbers fall inside the verified 67–77 secret-rare range, and Limitless’s image host returns no page for card numbers 78, 82, 83 or 86 in this set. Every number from 67 to 77 does return a page. Treat those four HR/UR listings as unconfirmed rather than settled catalog entries.

Two more secret rares from the set are also currently listed as graded PSA10 singles: TV Reporter SR (074/066) is currently listed at ¥61,360 (~$386), and Bill’s Maintenance SR (076/066) is currently listed at ¥15,340 (~$96). Any secret rare not listed above isn’t currently listed on our site — sourcing requests for a specific single go through Quick Order. For the full 77-card checklist, see our Champion Road (SM6b) card list.

Regular Box vs Damaged Box vs No Shrink on Our Site

Some of the Japanese boxes we list come in multiple condition listings — a regular sealed box alongside a Damaged Box or No Shrink variant. On our site, “Damaged Box” is a condition category for sealed booster boxes where the outer box itself — not the contents — is affected; the booster packs inside stay factory-sealed either way. “No Shrink” simply means the box is sold without its original shrink wrap, with the packs inside otherwise unchanged.

Champion Road isn’t currently one of the sets with a condition variant: as of today, the only SM6b booster box listing in our catalog is the standard sealed SM6B-Champion Road Japanese Pokemon Booster Box currently listed at ¥94,500 (~$594). There’s no separate Damaged Box or No Shrink listing for this set at the moment.

If a condition variant becomes available later, it would appear as its own product listing rather than a change to this one — the product page linked above is the source of truth for what’s currently on offer. Requests for a Damaged Box or No Shrink version of this set can be flagged through Quick Order.

Japanese vs English Version of Champion Road

Champion Road doesn’t have a confirmed English-language equivalent. Neither of our own set articles — the pull-rates coverage or the newer card-list checklist — names an English set that Champion Road maps to, so this guide isn’t going to guess at one.

What that means for buyers: if you want the SM6b print of Scizor-GX, Salamence-GX, Copycat or Articuno-GX specifically, the Champion Road box and PSA10 singles above are the direct route. There’s no English release to check as an alternative for these particular card numbers.

For the set Champion Road was built on top of, see our Forbidden Light (SM6) booster box buying guide and the companion Forbidden Light Japanese card list.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cards are in the Champion Road (SM6b) set?

77 cards total — 66 numbered main-set cards plus 11 secret rares, numbered 67 through 77. An older store article stated 86 cards with 20 secret rares; that figure is contradicted by the newer, Limitless-catalogued checklist and should not be used.

What’s inside a Champion Road booster box?

Each box has 30 packs of 5 cards, drawn from the 77-card set described above. The secret-rare tier (67–77) is six Pokemon-GX cards — Articuno-GX, Electrode-GX, Mr. Mime-GX, Banette-GX, Scizor-GX and Salamence-GX — plus five Supporter cards: Underground Expedition, TV Reporter, Apricorn Maker, Bill’s Maintenance and Copycat.

What are the chase cards in Champion Road?

Scizor-GX SR (071/066), the box-art Pokemon, is the cleanest set-identity chase. Salamence-GX SR (072/066), Copycat SR (077/066) and Articuno-GX SR (067/066) round out the confirmed chase tier. Cards named as “HR 082,” “HR 083,” “HR 078” or “UR 086” in older coverage fall outside the verified 67–77 range and aren’t confirmed catalog entries.

Is there a Damaged Box or No Shrink version of the Champion Road booster box?

Not currently. As of today, the only SM6b booster box listing in our catalog is the standard sealed box, currently listed at ¥94,500 (~$594). There’s no separate Damaged Box or No Shrink variant listed for this set at the moment.

Is there an English version of Champion Road (SM6b)?

No English-language equivalent set has been confirmed for Champion Road in our own sourced coverage. If you specifically want the SM6b print of any of its chase cards, the Japanese box and singles are the only confirmed route.

When did Champion Road (SM6b) release in Japan?

May 3, 2018, as an enhanced expansion built on top of Forbidden Light (SM6).
