# Houndstone (墓扬犬) (Chinese) #1703 — Gem Pack Vol.3 (宝石包 VOL.3)

## Summary

Houndstone sits at the bottom of the gem tier ladder, a single-diamond pull in Gem Pack Vol.3, which makes this Simplified Chinese copy a plain, easy slot with no chase pressure. The mainland edition came out in September 2025, and the star-pattern holofoil catches the light over a pale, sheet-like Houndstone drifting across a purple field. Ghost-type fans like the Paldean graveyard pup, so even a gem diamond gets looked at. The modelled guide sits at $2.51; no PSA population is on file.
