# Houndoom #46/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Houndoom is a Johto favorite with a loyal following, a dark-and-fire design that has stayed popular since Gold and Silver. As a plain Rare in Lost Thunder it was a mid-tier pull, and its free deck search gave it a modest role in Fire decks of its day. The modelled guide sits at $1.19, down 4% over 30 days on 21 copies traded, with 160 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $39, 33 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
