Pokémon TCG Houndstone

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features Houndstone, the evolution of Greavard, as a powerful and defensive Stage character. The card showcases a somber and atmospheric illustration of the Ghost Dog Pokémon resting peacefully in a field of white flowers within a graveyard under a crescent moon, its tombstone-like head ornament visible as it sleeps against a dark tree.

As a Psychic-type Pokémon, it specializes in spectral attacks that interfere with an opponent’s resources. Its primary utility comes from the Horrifying Bite move, which permits the player to flip a coin repeatedly until a tails result occurs; for every successful heads result, the player chooses a random card from the opponent’s hand to be revealed and shuffled back into their deck. For direct confrontation, it can also utilize the heavy-hitting Hammer In attack to deliver significant damage. The artwork by matazo perfectly captures the character’s eerie yet gentle nature, complemented by flavor text stating that it spends most of its time sleeping in graveyards and is considered the most loyal to its master among all dog Pokémon. The card also features standard game stats for a Stage character, including a specific weakness to Darkness-type attacks, a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, and a heavy retreat cost.
