Houndoom (Japanese: ヘルガー Hellgar) is a dual-type Dark/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Houndour starting at level 24.

Houndoom can Mega Evolve into Mega Houndoom using the Houndoominite.

Biology

Houndoom is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon with black fur, a long orange snout, and an orange underbelly. It has small red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. Atop its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male. Unlike its pre-evolution, it does not have discernable ears.

Houndoom live in packs. The one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Leadership is determined by fights within the pack. It is believed that Houndoom dreams about this leadership role while it sleeps. Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create unique fire mixed with poison. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the burns it inflicts will never heal. After finishing off its prey, Houndoom divides it evenly among its pack. Houndoom appears near rough terrain areas. Its howling induces shivering in other Pokémon, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests. In the past, people thought Houndoom's howl came from the grim reaper. Houndoom usually breathes fire when it is angry. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Houndoom is known to rarely breathe out flames while it sleep.^[1]

Forms

Houndoom can Mega Evolve into Mega Houndoom.

As Mega Houndoom, the ridges on its back thicken, and it gains additional bone-like rings around the base of its tail. The rings on its tail have small spikes on top resembling vertebrae. The ridge at the base of Mega Houndoom's neck is longer and curves forward towards its shoulders. Instead of a band with a skull pendant, there is a large, toothed structure around its neck. This bone-like formation has two large spikes on either side and three pointed teeth on the bottom. Mega Houndoom's horns now point straight up with a small, outward curve in the middle. The two bands on its hind legs have vanished, and those on its forelegs are broken in the front.

Its claws are a dark red due to its ability to generate more heat, which causes pain to Mega Houndoom.^[2] Finally, the tip of its tail is now split down the middle. When it Mega Evolves, its entire body generates heat. Its fiery breath is now powerful enough to burn foes into ashes.

Major appearances

Harrison's Houndoom

Harrison used a Houndoom during the Silver Conference, where it helped in recovering the flame of Ho-Oh and defeated Ash's Snorlax in their battle. However, it lost to Ash's Bayleef and was Harrison's final Pokémon in the semifinals, where it lost to a Rhyhorn. It was often seen outside of its Poké Ball.

Other

Houndoom debuted in Houndoom's Special Delivery, under the ownership of a Mareep farmer, who nicknamed it Doomy.

Trivia

Houndoom has three different sprites in each Generation II game. It also shares this same trait in Generation IV games. This makes it one of the few Pokémon with this distinction.
Houndoom is the only non-Legendary or Mythical Pokémon in the mainline games to have a unique battle track associated with it that is shared with no other encounter.

Origin

Houndoom seems to be based on the legends of hellhounds, black dogs, and possibly Cerberus of Greek mythology. Its horns and pointed tail resemble common depictions of the devil. Its skeletal adornments may be a reference to the hellhounds' and black dogs' associations with death and allude to the association of dogs with bones as their food, especially in cartoons. They may also be inspired by the grim reaper, and the bands around its ankles resemble shackles. Its build and coloration are similar to a Dobermann, and it also somewhat resembles the extinct Tasmanian wolf due to the stripe-like bony ridges on its back. Its pack-hunting behavior and eerie howling are reminiscent of wolves.

Name origin

Houndoom may be a combination of hound and doom (death or a terrible fate).

Hellgar may be a combination of hell and gar (Old English for spear; referring to its tail). It could also refer to Garmr, a hellhound in Norse mythology.

 '''Houndoom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘルガー''' ''Hellgar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

 ==Biology==
-Houndoom is a quadruped, canine Pokémon that is mainly black with a long orange snout and an orange underbelly. It has small, red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. On top of its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male.
+Houndoom is a quadrupedal, {{wp|dog|canine}}  {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black fur, a long orange snout, and an orange underbelly. It has small red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. Atop its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male. Unlike its pre-evolution, it does not have discernable ears.
-As Mega Houndoom, the ridges on its back thicken, and it gains additional, bone-like rings around the base of its tail. The rings on its tail have small spikes on top, causing them to resemble vertebrae. The ridge at the base of Mega Houndoom's neck is longer and curves forward towards its shoulders. Instead of a band with a skull pendant, there is a large, toothed structure around its neck. This bone-like formation has two large spikes on either side and three pointed teeth on the bottom. Mega Houndoom's horns now point straight up with a small, outward curve in the middle. The two bands on its hind legs have vanished, and those on its forelegs are broken in the front. Its claws are a dark red due to its ability to generate more heat.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Houndoom</ref> Finally, the tip of its tail is now split down the middle.
+Houndoom live in packs. The one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Leadership is determined by fights within the pack. It is believed that Houndoom dreams about this leadership role while it sleeps. Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create unique fire mixed with poison. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the burns it inflicts will never heal. After finishing off its prey, Houndoom divides it evenly among its pack. Houndoom appears near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain areas}}. Its howling induces shivering in other Pokémon, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests. In the past, people thought Houndoom's howl came from the grim reaper. Houndoom usually breathes fire when it is angry. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Houndoom is known to rarely breathe out flames while it sleep.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>

 ===Origin===
-Houndoom may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other {{wp|black dog (ghost)|legends}} of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndoom is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Doberman}}s. Its tail resembles that of common depictions of the {{wp|devil}}. Houndoom also seems to bear some resemblances to the extinct {{wp|tasmanian tiger|Tasmanian Tiger/Tasmanian Wolf}}. The Tasmanian Tiger was a hound-like marsupial with a lean body and stripey pattern on its back, much like Houndoom in respects of appearance. Houndoom's shiny coloration could be based on {{wp|Yama}}, the Hindu Lord of the Fallen, who often appears blue and red.
+Houndoom seems to be based on the legends of {{wp|hellhound}}s, {{wp|black dog (folklore)|black dogs}}, and possibly {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}. Its horns and pointed tail resemble common depictions of the {{wp|devil}}. Its skeletal adornments may be a reference to the hellhounds' and black dogs' associations with death and allude to the association of dogs with bones as their food, especially in cartoons. They may also be inspired by the {{wp|grim reaper}}, and the bands around its ankles resemble {{wp|shackle}}s. Its build and coloration are similar to a {{wp|Dobermann}}, and it also somewhat resembles the extinct {{wp|Thylacine|Tasmanian wolf}} due to the stripe-like bony ridges on its back. Its pack-hunting behavior and eerie howling are reminiscent of {{wp|Wolf|wolves}}.
 ====Name origin====
-Houndoom is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''doom''.
+Houndoom may be a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''doom'' (death or a terrible fate).
-Hellgar is a combination of ''{{wp|hell}}'' (alluding to its dark and fiery nature, as a hellhound) and ''gar'' (a sound that dogs make).
+Hellgar may be a combination of ''{{wp|hell}}'' and ''gar'' (Old English for spear; referring to its tail). It could also refer to {{wp|Garmr}}, a hellhound in {{wp|Norse mythology}}.
