CARDEX BACKGROUND
About the species
Houndoom's howl has long frightened humans, who have mistaken it for the call of the grim reaper. Yet it also lives in an organised pack: its members choose their leader through battle, and the leader's swept-back horns set it apart. Its unsettling image from afar therefore conceals very real relationships among its kind. The voice that seems to announce a bad omen belongs to a Pokémon attentive to each member's place.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.A detail worth noticing
Houndoom can breathe poison-laced flames to finish off its prey, then share it with the other members of its pack. Ultra Sun thus shows a hunter whose fire also helps feed the group. This social dimension can easily be overlooked behind its sinister reputation and impressive attacks.
