Template:Houndoom Houndoom (Japanese: ヘルガー Herugaa) is a Dark/Fire-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
Biology
Physiology
Houndoom are canine-like Pokémon, with a similar appearance to its pre-evolved form Houndour. Houndoom are large with black fur and have a brown underbelly and muzzle. Around each of its ankles are two sets of bone-like bands. On its back are rib-like structures, appearing like an exoskeleton, that lead up to its neck. In between the two ends of the bone on its neck is a small skull emblem. Instead of having visible ears near the top of its head, Houndoom have curved horns. It has a long, skinny tail which ends in an arrow point.
As Mega Houndoom, its claws become red and its tail splits to form a fork. Its horns are now much longer and curved, and a large skull-like structure with a pair of long 'tusks' adorns its torso.
Behavior
Wild Houndoom usually fight for leadership. According to some old sayings, the flare of Houndoom contains toxic and the wound caused by a Houndoom can never be healed or recover. Because of their horrifying cry that sounds like the death from Hell, people and Pokémon in ancient times mostly stay in their homes when they hear Houndoom's howl.
Natural abilities
Houndoom have the abilities Flash Fire or Early Bird. Flash Fire will power up any of its Fire-type moves if it is hit with a Fire-type move, and Early Bird will cause a quick awakening from Sleep status.
Gender differences
Male Houndoom have longer horns then the females.
Evolution
Houndoom is the evolved form of Houndour. Houndour will evolve into this Pokémon once it reaches level 24. Houndoom can further evolve into Mega Houndoom with a Houndoominite.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon share the same type combination as Houndoom and its pre-evolution Houndour.
- As of Generation VII, they now share their types with Incineroar but in reverse order, Fire/Dark.
- In Generation II Houndoom and Houndour were two of only five Pokémon to be Dark-type: the other three being Murkrow, Tyranitar and Umbreon.
- In both the Generation II and Generation IV games, Houndoom has different sprites in all games. It is one of the few Pokémon with this distinction.
Origin
Houndoom is based on a hell hound, which in mythology were demonic dogs who guarded the gates of the underworld. Its color and build resemble that of a Doberman Pinscher.
Mega Houndoom may be based on tribal rituals where the bones of animals are worn as ceremonial ornaments. Its horns and pointed tail also resemble common depictions of the devil.
Etymology
Houndoom is a combination of hound and doom.
