Where it came from
The Houndour card, numbered 5/75, was released in the Neo Discovery expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 2001. This set was the second in the Neo series, which introduced Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region to Western audiences. The expansion followed the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, marking a significant transition in the franchise as it integrated new elemental types and creatures into the established competitive landscape.
The card features artwork by the prolific illustrator Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer for the Pokémon series. Sugimori's signature aesthetic emphasizes clean lines and a grounded, creature-focused style that aimed to define the visual identity of the newer species. As a Holo-rare, this card was a centerpiece for collectors of the era, appreciated for its striking contrast between the dark-type aesthetic of the Pokémon and the brilliant, holographic foil treatment characteristic of Neo Discovery’s design language.
