Provenance

Where it came from

The Houndour card, numbered 45/214, was released as part of the Sun & Moon—Lost Thunder expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in November 2018. This set was notable for its sheer scale, featuring over 210 cards, and served as a bridge between the core Sun & Moon series and the introduction of new mechanics, focusing heavily on the Johto region's Pokémon. As a common card, it was designed primarily for player utility and set completion rather than competitive dominance.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Masakazu Fukuda, who has contributed extensively to the franchise. Fukuda’s design depicts Houndour in a dynamic, high-contrast pose, emphasizing its dual Fire and Dark type roots through the use of vibrant, warm color palettes set against a stark background. The artwork was well-received by collectors for its ability to capture the creature's lean, feral nature within the constrained format of a common card, fitting seamlessly into the aesthetic goals of the modern era of the game.
