Provenance

Where it came from

Released in the 2015 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion BREAKthrough, this Houndoom-EX card represents a pivotal moment in the series' history where the game introduced the BREAK evolution mechanic. The expansion was designed to blend traditional card archetypes with new strategic layers, and Houndoom-EX was crafted to showcase the fierce, high-damage potential associated with Fire-type Pokémon during the XY series era.

The card features an illustration by Eske Yoshinob, a prolific artist in the Pokémon TCG space known for a dramatic, high-contrast style that emphasizes the character's aggressive posture. Designed as an ultra-rare holographic card, it was received by players as a key component for competitive decks centered around Fire-type acceleration, standing out for its distinctive, bold graphic treatment typical of the EX series aesthetic.
