Card Background & Set Context
Rapid Strike Master (連撃マスター, set code s5R) released in Japan on 22 January 2021 as half of a dual-expansion launch alongside Single Strike Master (一撃マスター, s5K). The s5K/s5R pair introduced the Single Strike (一撃) and Rapid Strike (連撃) battle-style mechanic, with Single Strike Urshifu VMAX and Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX as the headline chase Pokemon. Both Japanese sub-sets were merged into the English release Battle Styles (SWSH5), which shipped 19 March 2021. Korrina (コルニ) is the Shalour City Gym Leader from Pokemon X/Y (2013), a Fighting-type specialist whose signature Pokemon is Mega Lucario — making her one of the most-recognized Kalos-region Gym Leaders. The Korrina's Focus card depicts Korrina in dynamic full-art pose, illustrated by Taira Akitsu. Effect: "Draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand," a versatile mid-game draw Supporter that competed with Professor's Research / Marnie / Bianca in Sword & Shield format decks. The s5R 079 SR is one of the lower-print-run versions of the card, sitting in the secret-rare numbering range above the regular set list of 070.
Investment Analysis
Price stack data is thin: only PSA 10 $114 confirmed via Poke10 live Japan index (accessed 2026-05-08). Raw, PSA 9, and PSA pop are not yet published — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade through and Mercari raw comps stabilize. $114 PSA 10 places Korrina's Focus SR in the entry-tier full-art Supporter band for s5R, well below the set's V/VMAX SR chase cards (Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX HR / Empoleon V SR) but above bulk Trainer commons. Demand drivers for Supporter SRs in this era are (a) Kalos / Korrina character collectors, since Korrina is a recurring Gym Leader and Mega Lucario trainer in the broader franchise, and (b) full-art Supporter set-completion demand. 30-day volume of 0 means price discovery is sparse — bid-ask spreads on this SKU are typically wider than V/VMAX chase cards. Investors should treat $114 as the listing-side index, with actual fill prices potentially -10% to -20% on PSA 10 cert sales when liquidity is needed quickly. English equivalent: Battle Styles 160/163 Korrina's Focus Full Art (Rare Ultra) trades roughly $20-35 PSA 10 per common third-party trackers — Japanese SR commands a 3-5x premium consistent with smaller Japanese print run + JP-collector demand for character Supporter SRs. Catalysts: any future Korrina / Mega Lucario reprint (Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 nostalgia capture) or competitive-format "Draw until 6" Supporter reprint cycle that re-energizes character recognition.
Risks to Watch
Korrina's Focus s5R 079 SR carries thin-data risk: PSA 10 30-day volume is 0, meaning the $114 index reflects listing-side ask rather than confirmed transaction velocity, and bid-ask spreads can be wide. PSA pop is not yet published on Poke10 — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade through. Second, Supporter SRs do not benefit from competitive-format demand the way attacker Pokemon V/VMAX SRs do; Korrina's Focus playability ended when Sword & Shield rotated out of Standard format, leaving only collector demand. Third, character-collector demand for Korrina is moderate — Korrina is recognized but not a top-tier nostalgia anchor like Lance / Cynthia / N. Fourth, JPY reversion 152→130 trims USD ~15%. Fifth, Pokemon Company periodically reprints popular Supporter cards in High-Class Decks or anniversary products — any Korrina reprint at lower rarity could pressure SR pricing 10-20%. Upside: Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 + any Kalos-region or Mega Evolution media cycle that re-energizes Korrina / Lucario character recognition.

Japanese vs English & Variants
Korrina's Focus appears in multiple Japanese and English prints. Japanese: regular Uncommon in s5R, plus the SR full-art (s5R 079, this card) — and a Rainbow Rare (HR) variant exists in the Japanese-set numbering equivalent. English Battle Styles: card 128/163 (regular Uncommon, illustrator kirisAki), 160/163 (Full Art Rare Ultra, illustrator Taira Akitsu), and 174/163 (Rainbow Rare). The Japanese SR (s5R 079) and the English Full Art (BST 160/163) share the same Taira Akitsu illustration — the Japanese print commands a substantial premium due to smaller print run and JP-collector demand. There is no confirmed Pokemon Center stamped variant or Promo print. Within the SR full-art Supporter category for s5R, Korrina's Focus sits alongside other Trainer SRs in the set (e.g., other Supporter SRs in the s5R 071-079 range).
Authentication & Cert Verification
Korrina's Focus s5R 079 is a Super Rare full-art Supporter — SR-tier authentication follows the Sword & Shield era full-art trainer pattern. (1) Card stock 0.30-0.32mm — full-art SRs are single-layer, lighter than VMAX HR cards. (2) Holographic foil pattern: full-art Supporters use a flat textured holo across the entire card face — under 10x loupe the texture should show fine vertical/diagonal etching consistent across the art, not stripe-banded. (3) Japanese set symbol 連 (Rapid Strike) bottom-right, with rarity mark ☆ (SR). (4) Illustrator credit "Taira Akitsu / Akitsu Taira" bottom-left in 4pt font. (5) Card number 079/070 indicates secret-rare placement above the regular 070 set list. (6) Back-of-card uses standard Japanese Pokemon TCG back (red Pokeball circle on blue swirl), 1996-2021 standard pattern. (7) Edge whitening on full-art SRs is the most common PSA 10 disqualifier — inspect all four edges under bright light before grading. (8) Counterfeit risk for mid-tier Supporter SRs is low compared to chase VMAX HRs, but proxy / playtest copies with similar art exist — always verify PSA cert online before purchase.
Risks to Watch
Korrina's Focus s5R 079 SR carries thin-data risk: PSA 10 30-day volume is 0, meaning the $114 index reflects listing-side ask rather than confirmed transaction velocity, and bid-ask spreads can be wide. PSA pop is not yet published on Poke10 — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade through. Second, Supporter SRs do not benefit from competitive-format demand the way attacker Pokemon V/VMAX SRs do; Korrina's Focus playability ended when Sword & Shield rotated out of Standard format, leaving only collector demand. Third, character-collector demand for Korrina is moderate — Korrina is recognized but not a top-tier nostalgia anchor like Lance / Cynthia / N. Fourth, JPY reversion 152→130 trims USD ~15%. Fifth, Pokemon Company periodically reprints popular Supporter cards in High-Class Decks or anniversary products — any Korrina reprint at lower rarity could pressure SR pricing 10-20%. Upside: Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 + any Kalos-region or Mega Evolution media cycle that re-energizes Korrina / Lucario character recognition.

Should I grade raw Korrina's Focus SR?
Raw and PSA 9 prices are not yet published on Poke10 — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade through and Mercari comps stabilize. Without confirmed raw comp + gem rate, EV cannot be computed. At PSA 10 $114, total grading + shipping cost ($25 PSA JP + ~$12 ship) eats a large portion of upside, so this SKU is best graded only when raw cost is materially below $60-70.
How many Korrina's Focus s5R 079 PSA 10 exist?
PSA pop for s5R 079 is not yet published on Poke10 — Poke10 will track once first slabs grade through. Mid-tier Japanese Supporter SRs from 2021-era Sword & Shield typically have PSA 10 pops in the low hundreds to low thousands once tracked.
