Question 1

Is Houndoom worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Grading is where the Houndoom conversation gets interesting. A raw copy runs $53, a Grade 9 nudges that up slightly to $56, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $302, which works out to about 5.7 times the ungraded price. That is a real gap, and it is tempting to send every copy you own off to get slabbed. The catch is that gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on illustration rares like this one, since any whitening on the edges or a soft corner from the printing process can knock it down to a 9, where the payout barely covers what you paid to grade it. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you commit, and only send in copies that look flawless to your eye under good light. If your card has any visible wear, it is probably better loved as a raw collectible than gambled on as a submission.

Question 2

How rare is Houndoom?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading services, 8,479 copies of Houndoom have been graded to date, and of those, 3,277 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That is a meaningfully large slice at the top grade, which tells you Houndoom prints reasonably well and gem mint copies, while not guaranteed, are far from a needle in a haystack. Still, population reports only count what has been submitted, not what is sitting in binders untouched, so the true number of high quality copies out there is anyone's guess. What this population data really tells buyers is that PSA 10 Houndoom commands its price because of genuine scarcity relative to raw supply, not because it is impossible to find.

Question 3

Where can you pull Houndoom?

Accepted Answer

PackSpy has tracked Houndoom being pulled 186 times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and courtyard, with the single biggest recorded pull cashing out at $3,000. That kind of number is the exception, not the rule, and it is worth saying plainly that opening packs is a gamble where most rips do not come close to breaking even. Houndoom has shown up in a mix of pack tiers, from the Pokemon Starter Pack and Pokemon Premium Pack up through the Pokemon Expert Pack and Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, so there is no single 'best' pack to chase it in. If you are hunting Houndoom specifically, watching live pull data across these sites gives you a much better sense of where it is actually surfacing than any price guide alone, which is exactly the kind of insider view we built PackSpy to provide.

Question 4

How much is Houndoom worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Houndoom #66 from Shrouded Fable is valued at $53. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $56 and a PSA 10 reaching $302, so condition makes a real difference to what it's worth.

Question 5

Is Houndoom worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 5.7 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely tough to land, so only submit cards that look pristine to you, and weigh the grading cost against the realistic chance of a Grade 9 instead of a 10.

Question 6

What set is Houndoom from?

Accepted Answer

Houndoom #66 comes from Shrouded Fable, released in 2024. It's an illustration rare illustrated by Taiga Kasai, which is part of why it stands out as a collectible beyond just its gameplay value.
