5 facts about this card
Houndoom #18 is one of the Rare cards in Diamond & Pearl—Great Encounters, a 106-card set released on February 13, 2008, placing this reverse holo in the era when Pokémon LV.X and Sinnoh legends like Darkrai and Cresselia were headlining packs.
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the artwork an especially classic, game-authentic feel that many DP-era collectors love.
Houndoom itself debuted in Generation II, and its in-game Pokédex lore is famously dark—multiple official entries describe its eerie howls as something people once linked to the grim reaper, matching the exact flavor text printed on this card.
Houndoom made a memorable anime impact through Harrison’s Houndoom during the Silver Conference, where it battled Ash and helped cement Houndoom’s reputation as one of Johto’s coolest dark canines.
The card’s attack design feels perfectly on-brand for Houndoom: Dark Fang disrupts the opponent’s hand, while Black Fire can cash in either Fire or Darkness Energy for extra punishment, blending menace and flexibility in a very DP-style way.
