Houndoom

Description

As an Uncommon rarity, this card remains a favorite among set builders looking to complete the full Legends Awakened roster. Houndoom serves as a Stage 1 Pokémon with 80 Hit Points, making it a solid presence in many decks. Its standout feature is the Revenge Fang ability, which activates when the player has fewer Benched Pokémon than their opponent. This effect boosts the damage of Houndoom's attacks by 40, adding a layer of strategic depth that rewards careful resource management during gameplay. This mechanic allows the card to punch above its weight class in specific matchups, appealing to players who enjoy tactical decision-making. The card's attack options include Colorless Burning Sensation, which deals 20 damage and can Burn the Defending Pokémon if it already has damage counters. Alternatively, players can use Bright Flame for 60 damage, though this requires flipping a coin; a tails result forces the discard of two Fire Energy cards. This risk-reward dynamic makes Houndoom a versatile choice for aggressive strategies. With a retreat cost of only one Colorless Energy, the Pokémon can easily switch positions to protect it or set up future attacks. Houndoom #57 stands out as a key component for those aiming to complete the set. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your personal collection, this card offers both functional gameplay and historical value. The Legends Awakened set continues to be a significant part of Pokémon TCG lore, and Houndoom remains a memorable entry in that lineup.
