History

Roxie (Homika in Japanese) is the Virbank City Gym Leader from the Unova region in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Known for her signature silver bob haircut, freckles, and punk-rock vibe as the lead singer of the band Koffing & the Toxics, she specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. Her character has a massive cult following, often commanding premium prices in TCG due to 'waifu tax' appeal among collectors.

First released in the Japanese Pokémon TCG M4 Ninja Spinner expansion pack in early 2026

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering on intricate artwork, edge whitening from SAR holo pattern, surface scratches on foil, print lines or dimples common in Japanese pulls; avoid cards with bubble mailer dents or soft corners

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with cardboard inserts for SAR thickness, store in cool dark binders or BCW boxes away from sunlight/UV to prevent foil oxidation; sleeve in Dragon Shield matte for handling

Authenticity. Verify Japanese text 'ホミカの演奏' and exact Tomowaka credit; check holo pattern alignment and SAR numbering 119/083; fakes often have blurry art or incorrect foil shimmer; cross-reference with Serebii/Bulbapedia scans; use blacklight for genuine Japanese TCG foil response
