The middle step counts every card that records a Pokédex number, including Pokémon too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the Pokédex number list, which only counts the groups it can open.

Houndoom Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 45 cards share the Pokédex number Houndoom. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $20.77. Across the 42 priced cards the range runs $0.22 to $399.99.
  • Where it stands. No. 48 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 158 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 116 HP and 70 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Water.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 45 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 3 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Which Houndoom cards share a name across several printings?

43 of the 45 cards listed above are reprints of just 8 names. Buying by name alone is how people end up with the wrong printing, because these share a name but not a set, a rarity or a price.

How Houndoom Pokémon card prices are spread

One number cannot describe a group whose cards run from a few dollars to several thousand. These four points and the bands under them show the shape of it.

An average hides the shape of a group. These four points say where the money actually sits among Houndoom cards.

The counting sections and the price sections do not share a denominator. This group holds 45 cards, but only 42 of them carry a price. Every figure about money on this page — the typical price, the quarters, the bands, the ladder — is counted on those 42, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 45.

What Houndoom Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

The group price says what an ordinary Houndoom card costs. These break the group down by card kind, rarity, printing, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a cheap card from a dear one before you look it up.

The words printed after the name split Houndoom cards into kinds, and each kind plays by different rules.

How much HP and damage Houndoom Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Houndoom card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

Each track is the whole of the 45 Houndoom cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.

The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.

Which Houndoom Pokémon cards moved most this year

The group line is made of single cards, and they do not all move together. These are the two ends of that spread over the last twelve months.

Counted on the 32 cards that carried a price on both the first and the last reading, so a card that only appeared recently is not in here.

The cheapest Houndoom Pokémon cards you can buy

Every list on this page so far has run from the top down. This one runs from the bottom, because the first question of anyone starting a Houndoom collection is what it costs to get in.
The 6 cheapest Houndoom cards on file

These six together cost $2.58, against $399.99 for the single dearest Houndoom card. The two ends of the same group sit 1,818× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Houndoom".

How much is a Houndoom Pokémon card worth?
