Read more ↓Houndoom, the Dark Pokémon, is a bipedal canine creature resembling a Doberman Pinscher, known for its distinctive horns and fiery breath. Introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Houndoom evolves from Houndour starting at level 24. It is a dual-type Dark/Fire Pokémon, a unique combination that grants it resistances to Fire, Grass, Ice, Ghost, Dark, and Steel types, while making it vulnerable to Ground, Rock, Water, and Fighting attacks. In the Pokédex, Houndoom is described as a formidable hunter that uses its howls to strike fear into its prey, and its breath, infused with toxins from the flames, can cause persistent pain. Its pack-based behavior and loyalty to its trainer are often highlighted in the anime, where it is portrayed as a powerful and sometimes intimidating companion. Houndoom's design draws inspiration from mythological hellhounds, such as Cerberus, and its menacing appearance has made it a popular choice among fans who appreciate its edgy aesthetic and powerful offensive capabilities. Its role in the games often sees it as a strong special attacker, and its Mega Evolution further enhances its abilities, making it a force to be reckoned with in competitive play.
