Houndoom 82/90 · HS—Undaunted

Houndoom is Pokédex #229, generation 2 (Johto). Houndoom is a Stage 1 Prime Darkness Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Houndour. In this catalog that name is Houndour (#228).

Houndoom sits at 82/90 in HS—Undaunted, position 82 of 91. Before it is 81 Espeon, and after it is 83 Raichu. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on August 18, 2010. The printed size is 90. This checklist is longer, at 91 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Prime.

Fire Breath is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned. This power can't be used if Houndoom is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Dark Clamp lists 70 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 1.

Houndoom (#229) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2025. The earliest other card is Houndoom 4/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Prime. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated this one. 42 other cards of Houndoom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hideaki Hakozaki. I count 35 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Undaunted set binder is where a full HS—Undaunted set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Houndoom can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
