CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Houndour hunts with its own kind through precise coordination. Different cries allow the group to communicate and tighten its approach around prey. Each voice contributes to the shared action. This ability to cooperate also sheds light on its attachment to a Trainer: the Pokédex describes a loyal partner capable of extending its trust to an ongoing relationship with a human.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Houndour hgss3-54 attacks for one Darkness Energy. Ten damage is assured and heads adds another 10; on tails, the attack stays at 10. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The flip increases the possible number without deciding whether the hit connects.
