Provenance

Where it came from

The Houndoom-EX card was introduced in the 2015 BREAKthrough expansion, a set that bridged the gap between the XY and BREAK mechanics in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As part of the Ultra Rare tier, this card featured the high-gloss, textured holographic finish characteristic of the EX series, emphasizing the powerful, high-HP playstyle that defined the competitive meta during that era.

The illustration was crafted by artist Eske Yoshinob, who utilized a dynamic, sharp-edged aesthetic to capture the aggressive nature of the Dark-Fire type Houndoom. The design focuses on the creature's menacing anatomy, utilizing deep reds and oranges to align with its fire typing, a creative choice that resonated with collectors seeking a visual representation of the Pokémon's intimidation factor in the field.
