Houndour

Description

The Pokémon Trading Card Game continues to captivate enthusiasts with the Obsidian Flames release, and card number 204 stands out as a premier collectible. This product is for the Houndour Illustration Rare, a 2023 release that combines artistic prestige with gameplay utility. Designed with a striking holo finish, this card is a focal point for collectors seeking high-tier variants within the SV3 set code. Artist KYUPIYAMA brings the Darkness-type Pokémon to life, creating a visual experience that complements the card's rarity status. Beyond its visual appeal, this card offers strategic depth for players. As a Basic Pokémon with 50 HP, Houndour supports team synergy through its "Darkness Coordinated Pack" attack. This ability allows players to search their deck for Basic Darkness Energy cards and attach them to Benched Houndour, streamlining energy acceleration for a cohesive strategy. The "Focus Fangs" attack provides additional damage potential, though it carries a risk that collectors and players must consider during matches. With a modest retreat cost of one, the card remains flexible in various board states. For investors and hobbyists, the Illustration Rare tier represents a significant milestone in any Pokémon collection. These cards are distinguished by their exclusive artistic treatments and are highly prized for their aesthetic quality. The Obsidian Flames set has established itself as a key era in modern TCG history, and this Houndour variant serves as a testament to that legacy. The combination of KYUPIYAMA’s artistry and the card’s functional design makes it a standout addition for any serious collector.
