The iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad 10th generation all have USB-C connections for charging.

The only model currently sold that has a Lightning connection like your iPhones and older iPads is the iPad 9th generation.

You would be better advised to consider using your new USB-C Power Adapter which has a higher power output - and supports fast charging with compatible devices - and instead invest in a USB-C to Lightning cable to charge your iPhone and older model iPads.
