Where it came from
Houndour card 131/197 was released in the Obsidian Flames expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in August 2023. As a common darkness-type card, it serves as a foundational piece of the Scarlet and Violet series, designed to integrate into the modern competitive meta by providing players with consistent access to evolution chains. The card features artwork by illustration veteran Kouki Saitou, whose work is characterized by clean lines and an emphasis on the creature’s personality within its natural habitat.
The Obsidian Flames set is primarily noted for the introduction of Tera Pokémon ex with shifted elemental types, a thematic focus that reflects the complex mechanics of the ninth generation of Pokémon games. Kouki Saitou, a long-standing contributor to the TCG since the early 2000s, depicts this Houndour in a focused, active pose that emphasizes its canine agility. The card was well-received by collectors and players alike for its accessibility and for maintaining the high aesthetic standards established throughout the long-running series.
