What it does
If you have less Benched Pokémon than your opponent, each of Houndoom's attacks does 40 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance).
If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned.
Flip a coin. If tails, discard 2 Fire Energy attached to Houndoom.
Long ago, people imagined its eerie howls to be the call of the grim reaper.

Where it came from
The Houndoom card from the 2008 Legends Awakened expansion serves as a representation of the Dark-type Pokémon within the Diamond and Pearl era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to integrate various legendary Pokémon and mechanical updates from the Nintendo DS games of the same period, providing players with new strategic options through the inclusion of LV.X cards and revised gameplay mechanics.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose work has defined the visual identity of the franchise since its inception. Sugimori often emphasizes the iconic anatomy and temperament of the creatures he depicts, and here he focuses on Houndoom's menacing stature. Like many cards in the set, it was intended to serve as a functional mid-tier evolution for deck building, balancing its accessible rarity with an effective fire-type move set appropriate for the competitive landscape of that era.
