Houndoom moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Houndoom starts every run with Bite: a quick bite that knocks foes back.
The level-up cards can then offer 17 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 9 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Dark moves: Bite, Dark Pulse, Night Shade
- Fire moves: Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Heat Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Flame Wheel
Weaknesses and resistances
Houndoom takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), and Rock (1.6x). It resists Psychic (0.3x), Fire (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Ghost (0.6x), Dark (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 7 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Houndoom are the ones whose first type is Water, Fighting, Ground, or Rock. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Dark or Fire moves do not hit harder just because Houndoom shares the type.
How to get Houndoom
Houndoom is part of the Johto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 18 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Houndoom a 0.36% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 277 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Houndoom exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Houndoom as an enemy
Houndoom can show up as a regular enemy from 4:20 into the run (enemy tier 4 and 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is zoner: it drops damaging zones on the ground after a short warning.
It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, falling danger zones, and a fan of shots.
