#179 Houndoom - Battle Styles (swsh5)
Houndoom is a Darkness-type Pokémon from the Sword & Shield series, included in the Battle Styles set released in 2021. It has 130 HP and requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features the ability Single Strike Roar, which allows the player to search their deck for a Single Strike Energy card, attach it to one of their Single Strike Pokémon, shuffle their deck, and place two damage counters on the targeted Pokémon. Its primary attack, Darkness Fang, costs one Darkness and one Colorless Energy to deal 50 damage. Houndoom is weak to Grass-type attacks multiplied by two. The card’s flavor text describes it as a creature identifiable by its eerie howls, once feared as the grim reaper by ancient civilizations. Artist PLANETA Mochizuki designed the illustration, and the card is classified as a Rare Secret rarity. The regulation mark indicates it is part of the E series.
