It works with all other iPads released in 2018 and later with a Lightning port.
Apple announced the second-generation Apple Pencil on October 30, 2018 at the same time as the third-generation iPad Pro. This pencil uses a magnetic connector on the side of the tablet for charging, not a Lightning connector. It has touch-sensitive areas that can be tapped to tell the pencil to do things. It works with all iPads with a USB-C port, for example the fourth-generation iPad Air and sixth generation iPad Mini.
