# Houndoom (黑鲁加) (Chinese) #0505 — Gem Pack Vol.3 (宝石包 VOL.3)

## Summary

Houndoom landed in mainland China in September 2025 through Gem Pack Vol.3, a China-only product line built around gem-tier rarity marks, and this Simplified Chinese copy carries the single-star mark. The artwork has the Dark-type Pokémon crouched low against a blazing red-orange backdrop, flames licking its horns and shoulders while rubble flies behind it. A mid-ranking gem pull of a Johto fan favourite, it appeals to collectors completing every language. The modelled guide sits at $1.89 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
