Read more ↓Houndoom, the Dark Pokémon, is a dual Dark and Fire type introduced in Generation II. It evolves from Houndour starting at level 24. Known for its imposing appearance, resembling a Doberman-like canine with skeletal features and menacing horns, Houndoom's barks are said to instill fear and pain in those who hear them. Its natural habitat often includes desolate, mountainous regions or dark forests, where it hunts in packs. Houndoom's diet consists primarily of smaller Pokémon, which it hunts with cunning and coordination. In the games, Houndoom is a popular choice for its strong offensive capabilities, particularly its special attack stat. In the anime, it is frequently depicted as a loyal companion to trainers or as a formidable wild Pokémon. Culturally, Houndoom embodies themes of fear, power, and loyalty, making it a memorable and iconic Pokémon. Its Dark typing gives it an advantage against Psychic and Ghost types, while its Fire typing is strong against Grass, Ice, Bug, and Steel. However, it is vulnerable to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water type attacks.
