Known as the Dark Pokémon, it evolves from Houndour starting at level 24. Its intimidating appearance, characterized by its sleek black fur, skeletal horn-like structures, and a bone-like collar, makes it a memorable creature. According to the Pokédex, the eerie howls of a Houndoom are said to strike fear into the hearts of other Pokémon, driving them back to their nests, and its breath contains toxins that can cause intense pain and illness. Houndoom typically inhabits mountainous and volcanic regions, often found in packs, showcasing a strong sense of loyalty to its leader. Its diet consists of smaller Pokémon, which it hunts using its keen sense of smell and coordinated pack tactics. In the games, Houndoom is a popular choice for trainers seeking a fast and powerful special attacker, especially in competitive play due to its unique typing. In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, often depicted as a strong and sometimes hostile wild Pokémon, but also as a loyal companion to trainers. Its distinctive design and lore have cemented its place as a culturally significant Pokémon, representing the darker, more mysterious side of the Pokémon world.
