Houndour [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Houndour #43 sits in Neo Destiny, the fourth and final Neo Series expansion, the set that introduced Light Pokémon and became the last English Pokémon TCG release to carry the 1st Edition stamp—giving this 1st Edition uncommon a special place in WotC history.
In-Game
This card spotlights Houndour as a true Johto-era species, since Houndour was introduced in Generation II as a Dark/Fire Pokémon in Pokémon Gold and Silver before evolving into Houndoom.
Card History
Houndour’s reputation as a loyal pack hunter was memorably showcased in the anime episode "Hour of the Houndour," where a pack steals food to care for an injured member—exactly the kind of eerie, night-prowling personality echoed by this card’s flavor text.
Cultural Impact
Part of the appeal of Houndour cards is that the species draws on hellhound and black dog folklore, which makes its skull-like markings and ominous nighttime cries feel especially dramatic on vintage Darkness-type cards.
Artist
Illustrated by Yukiko Baba, this card pairs Houndour’s sinister design with one of the more distinctive art styles in the Neo era, helping an uncommon card stand out to collectors building artist runs as well as Neo Destiny master sets.
