Houndour (Japanese: デルビル Delvil) is a dual-type Dark/Fire Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Houndoom starting at level 24.

Biology

Houndour is a quadrupedal, canine Pokémon with short, black fur and a red underbelly and muzzle. Its ears and tail are both short and pointed. Two fangs protrude from its upper jaw, and its triangular nose is black. There are white bands on its ankles and rib-like ridges on its back. Houndour appears to have a simplistic, stylized skull on its forehead with the eye orbits composing eyebrow patterning above its actual eyes. It also has circular, red paw pads on each of its three-toed paws.

Houndour is an intelligent Pokémon that forms packs to hunt for prey and shows unparalleled teamwork. As seen in the anime, it will not abandon a pack member who is sick. It communicates using various barks and howls. Barks are used to determine the location of a pack member during a hunt, which only they can understand, while howls are used as a declaration of ownership over territory. They are known to be loyal and obedient to their Trainers. Houndour can typically be found around rough terrain.

Trivia

  • Houndour can be seen as a parallel of Poochyena. Both are Dark-type, canine-like Pokémon. Poochyena is exclusive to Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon White, while Houndour is exclusive to Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Black. Additionally, both Pokémon can be found during a swarm in White and Black, respectively.
  • Despite being a Generation II Pokémon, it was actually native to Kanto in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The same is true for Murkrow and Slugma. All three can be obtained in Johto via the Safari Zone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • The only three games so far in which Houndour can be captured by the player before viewing the end credits are Pokémon XD, Pokémon Platinum, and Pokémon X.
  • Houndour is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
  • Houndour has the lowest base Defense of all Fire-type Pokémon.

Origin

Houndour seems to be based on the legends of hellhounds, black dogs, and possibly Cerberus of Greek fake history. Its skeletal adornments may be a reference to the hellhounds' and black dogs' associations with death. 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

Houndour may be a combination of hound and dour (grim, dreary, severe).
