- Main article: Pokémon food
Houndour are predatory Pokémon that mainly eat small mammals.
In the anime
Houndour first appeared in Hour of the Houndour. A pack of these Dark Pokémon were stealing food to aid their badly wounded leader. Ash helped the ailing Houndour to the Pokémon Center.
A Houndour also appeared in Pikachu and Pichu. This particular Houndour can normally be seen chasing the Pichu Brothers.
Cassidy's Houndour debuted in The Mystery is History.
A Houndour chased the Pichu Brothers twice in Pichu Bros. in Party Panic. It's unknown if this Houndour is the same in Pikachu and Pichu but it seems improbable since that Houndour made friends with the Pichu Brothers.
