Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this card represents the final major set of the e-Card Series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set introduced the e-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan dot-codes on the side of the cards to unlock mini-games or Pokédex entries, marking a brief but experimental era in the game's hardware integration.

The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura, a frequent illustrator for the franchise during this period. Kimura’s design utilizes the distinct, high-contrast borders and layout requirements of the e-Card era, emphasizing a dark, moody aesthetic for Houndoom that aligns with its Darkness typing. As a Rare Holo card, it remains highly sought after by collectors for its iconic holographic pattern and its status as a cornerstone of the limited-run Aquapolis set.
