# Houndoom #7/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Houndoom is a Johto Dark-Fire staple whose menacing look has always kept fans loyal, and this Unseen Forces version is a mid-tier Rare, a pull that mattered without ever being the chase slot. Its Lonesome Poke-Body gave it a quirky Trainer-lock identity, which suits Midori Harada's long-running Pokémon credits. At an $81 modelled guide, up 17% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 45 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Shrouded Fable; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
