Strategy & play
How Houndoom G plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Dark Slash) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — note its own type is Fire, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Fire type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Houndoom G
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.

How can I tell if my Houndoom G is real?
