Provenance

Where it came from

Released in August 2010 as part of the HS—Undaunted expansion, this Houndoom card captures the transition period of the Pokémon Trading Card Game under the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. The set focused on the Johto region, drawing inspiration from the Nintendo DS remakes of the classic titles. Houndoom, a dual Dark and Fire-type, was a centerpiece for players utilizing the game's evolving mechanics during this era.

The artwork was illustrated by Kent Kanetsuna, a veteran artist known for his dynamic and shadow-heavy portrayals of Pokémon. Kanetsuna’s aesthetic choice for this card emphasizes the creature's menacing, canine-like features through sharp lines and a high-contrast palette. Upon its release, it was noted for its collectible holographic finish, which complemented the darker, more aggressive design language prevalent in cards of the Undaunted set.
