Houndoom is a fearsome Dark/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 2. Known as the Dark Pokémon, it stands at 1.4 meters (4'07") tall and weighs 35.0 kg (77.2 lbs). Houndoom's appearance is that of a demonic hound, with a sleek black body, orange snout and underbelly, and distinctive curved horns. Its eerie howls were once believed to be the call of the grim reaper, striking fear into both humans and Pokémon alike.

This Pokémon is known for its powerful fire attacks, which are mixed with toxins. Burns caused by Houndoom's flames are said to hurt forever due to the toxins burning in its body. In the wild, Houndoom hunt in packs, with leadership determined through fierce battles. The Houndoom with the most sharply raked horns typically assumes the role of pack leader.
