No. 229: Houndoom

Demon Dog! Demon Dog!

As you will come to know, if a Pokemon has a dark sub-type, chances are is is pretty awesome.

This becomes apparent especially in gen 3, but Houndoom and Houndour are obvious examples. They have a nice edge to them, and just look cool. The only bad thing, is that you can't find Houndour in Johto, only in Kanto, which is pretty stupid actually. You can't get him until you beat the elite 4 the first time.

and I think I like how bulky and stocky Houndour looks as opposed to Houndoom, who is a little lankier. They're both cool, and Houndoom is much more demonic, but his muzzle looks kinda like a duck bill. So there.

Overall: 9/10

  1. Maybe because he looks like a she compared to Arcanine manliness?

  2. They didn't even try to hide the demon idea in the German version:

    Hundemon

    Yeah, Hund means dog and Demon (Dämon in German but spelling is the same)

  3. I think it's the cartoonish devil tail that ruins the design just a little bit.
