What it does
Once during your turn, you may search your deck for a Single Strike Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Single Strike Pokémon. Then, shuffle your deck. If you attached Energy to a Pokémon in this way, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.
Identifiable by its eerie howls, people a long time ago thought it was the grim reaper and feared it.

Where it came from
Released in the 2021 Battle Styles expansion, this Houndoom card draws upon the lore of the Generation II Pokémon series. The set introduced the Battle Styles mechanic, focusing on the tactical distinction between 'Single Strike' and 'Rapid Strike' cards, a concept designed to mirror the competitive depth found in the Pokémon Trading Card Game's professional play environment.
The card features artwork by illustrator kawayoo, known for a signature style that emphasizes dynamic lighting and dramatic, atmospheric perspectives. In this iteration, Houndoom is depicted with an intense, predatory focus, utilizing the dark-type aesthetic to convey the card's Single Strike classification. The holo-rare treatment highlights these artistic details, maintaining the traditional collectability of the modern TCG era.
