Houndoom

I have it in a PSA 10.

I'm not a huge Houndoom fan, but I just really feel like the cards that he's portrayed in are so good.

But this one from Destined Rivals, I've loved ever since the Japanese premiered it.

the Japanese set and it's Houndoom jumping over a team rock.

I don't know if that's Archer.

I'm not sure which team rocket it is.

Yeah.

So I got my water, and then pick two, I'm gonna go with Houndoom.

You motherfucker.

You fucking took Arcanine last time, and you can shove that up your ass.

So you got two picks.

See, that was, that was my risk, was there's really only two good fire types in this game.

Uh, Typhlosion, Houndoom, and there is no other good grass types, in my opinion.

So it's like, you go Meganium and you get Houndoom, you go Typhlosion and you kind of skip out on a grass type.

hang on, what's that?

Because the Houndoom's getting to foul play every 10 turns.

Yeah, so the Houndoom would have the better of that matchup as well.

I'm also going to give a shout out to Posey May in the Pallet Town PvP server who insists that infestation is the fast move to use rather than acid, which it will be able to provide a lot of fast move pressure against opposing Cradily.

The only drawback, and I think it is a reasonable drawback, which is why I haven't made the leap myself yet, is that the pacing to the rock tombs and grass knots is is slower so it's going to take you 15 turns to get to the first charge attack and then 12 after that whereas with acid it's 14 and then 12 12 12 and with bullet seed it's just 12 every time

What about...

Because what about Houndoom? That's learned Trailblaze recently.

Yeah, Houndoom is a good pick.

I agree.

It is going to be very scared of all the water Pokemon though.

I think they were the same rates.

I thought Houndour and Houndoom were 5.

I thought it was like the Weedles that were giving 10.

Oh,

maybe, maybe, maybe.

Yeah, maybe I misremembered that.

But I feel like during that event, I feel like I remember getting a Houndoom

with 10.

It's not as good as the other three we've come up with.

Houndoom.

I don't know if Houndoom is underrated.

It's not underrated.

Okay, fair.

Uh, what's, uh, what problem did I solve for you? I can't remember.

I think it was the Houndoom.

Oh, yeah.

And also it was having to get all of those points.

Yeah.

There's a big Pokemon who's totally heavy metal and fun.

It's like a skull Doberman Pinscher named Houndoom, and there's a alpha one, which they just took the same Houndoom graphics and made it twice as big.

And you could beat him, you could catch him, but he just, he had glowing red eyes and the music was scary, so you ran away from him over and over.

I'll take it.

And the new Mega Level 4s actually look decent in Beedrill and Houndoom.

I think Houndoom is the big standout here.

It is going to be the most powerful Dark-type Mega, obviously, until we get Mega Darkrai in the game.

Okay.

But I think if the situations were changed, I probably would have hatched more eggs.

And even the new mega level fours, I didn't pay too much attention to it only because I haven't personally newsed.

Or I don't even have the, I think, mega evolution for like Houndoom.

Stepping slowly out of the dense fog was a creature of pure intimidation.

It was Houndoom.

The dark and fire-type hellhound bared its sharp, white fangs.

Thick, dark smoke billowed from its snout.

It was pure, wild instinct.

The silent sniper and the brutal hellhound had a common enemy.

Houndoom launched forward, accelerating to incredible speeds.

The hellhound became a blur of black and orange, darting expertly between the thrashing, corrupted roots.
