Where it came from
The Houndour card, numbered 113/165, was released as part of the Expedition Base Set in 2002. This set marked a significant evolution for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as it was the first to introduce the E-Reader technology. By scanning the dot-codes printed on the edges of the cards, players could unlock digital data, mini-games, and Pokédex entries on the Game Boy Advance, representing an early attempt to bridge physical cards with digital gameplay.
The card features artwork by Japanese illustrator Ken Sugimori, who served as the primary character designer for the Pokémon series. His minimalist, clean approach highlights the sleek, canine design of the Dark-type Houndour, which was first introduced in the second generation of games. The set as a whole received a mixed reception from competitive players due to its departure from the established card layout, yet it remains a landmark release for collectors interested in the technological experimentation of the early 2000s.
