===Your move: ExtremeSpeed===
===Introducing: Homika===
* '''ExtremeSpeed''' (Japanese: '''しんそく''' ''Godspeed'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was the [[Signature move]] of {{p|Arcanine}} in {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
* '''Homika''' ('''ホミカ''') is one of the new [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Unova]] region. She is set to appear in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. She specializes in {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Toxic}} to Trainers who defeat her.
* From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|IV}}, ExtremeSpeed always went first regardless of the opponent's speed, unless they used a move with a higher [[priority]]. If the opposing Pokémon uses a move with the same priority as ExtremeSpeed, the order of the attacks will be calculated normally. In [[Generation V]], ExtremeSpeed's priority became +2.
* She is a {{wp|musician}} who plays the bass guitar, her band is called "The {{tt|Dogars|Koffing}}". Her Gym is a music club.
* {{p|Smeargle}} was the only Pokémon to receive [[STAB]] from ExtremeSpeed until [[Ruby and Saphire Zigzagoon|special]] {{p|Zigzagoon}} were released in 2003 with the attack, and the move became available to more Pokémon in [[Generation IV]].
* Homika is set to appear in ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)]]''. In the episode, Ash will challenge Homika to a 6 on 3 battle with Homika using {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Scolipede}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.

* Her father is an actor who works in Pokèwood.
* ExtremeSpeed was also one of the moves known by the {{p|Lucario}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], used as a recovery move when the player pressed ↑+B.
* She is the first Poison type Gym Leader outside of [[Kanto]]. She is also the first Gym Leader to appear in the anime before her game debut.
* With the exception of [[May's Munchlax]] using it through {{m|Metronome}}, only Arcanine have used ExtremeSpeed in the anime.
 
* The move has appeared five times as a {{TCG|Poké-Body}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] on [[Arcanine (Aquapolis H2)|two]] [[Arcanine G (Supreme Victors 15)|different]] {{TCG|Arcanine}}, and an {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Entei|SL3}}, {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Raikou|SL9}}, and {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Suicune|SL11}} originally release in Japan to commemorate the event Pokémon mentioned above.
