This canine-like Pokémon is notable for its sleek, black fur, skeletal-like markings, and horns resembling a Doberman. Houndour evolves into Houndoom, an even more formidable Dark/Fire type. In the games, Houndour is often found in mountainous or volcanic regions, known for its pack-hunting behavior. Its Pokedex entries frequently highlight its communication through barks and how its howls can instill fear. As a Dark/Fire type, Houndour has a unique type matchup, being strong against Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Ghost, and Psychic types, but vulnerable to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water types. In the anime, Houndour often appears as a wild, sometimes mischievous, Pokémon, emphasizing its pack dynamics. Its design, inspired by mythological hellhounds, gives it a distinct and memorable presence, making it a fan favorite for its cool aesthetic and powerful evolutionary line.
