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
The Houndoom card, numbered SWSH090, was released as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos series. This specific card was distributed as a promotional inclusion within the V Powers Tin, which debuted in 2020. These tins were designed to provide players and collectors with themed packs and specific promo cards featuring Generation VIII mechanics and popular Pokémon from earlier generations, serving as a staple release strategy for the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the pandemic-era expansion of the hobby.
The artwork for this card continues the tradition of featuring the Dark-type Pokémon in a dynamic, menacing posture consistent with its lore. As part of the promotional lineage, the card utilizes standard TCG design templates found in the Sword & Shield era, prioritizing accessibility for players who sought specific evolutionary lines. While these promotional cards are primarily functional tools for deck-building, they remain popular among collectors for their unique numbering and the limited window in which they were originally marketed through retail distribution.
