It's not a headline chase card, but that's part of the charm: it's affordable, it's recognizable, and it still has real upside if you land a clean copy. If you're checking Houndour value before buying, selling, or grading one, here's everything we can actually confirm with numbers.

The collector's take on Houndour
Is Houndour worth grading?
Right now a raw, ungraded Houndour sits at $4, while a PSA 10 brings $45, which works out to roughly 10.6x the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of multiple that gets collectors excited about grading. But here's the honest part: gem mint 10s are hard to hit even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye, centering and surface flaws show up under a loupe that you'd never catch at home. A Grade 9 only fetches $13, so if your card lands one point short of perfect, you're looking at a much smaller return once you factor in grading fees and shipping. Grading Houndour can pay off, but only send in copies that genuinely look sharp, corners tight, centering clean, no whitening. Otherwise you might just be paying to find out it's still a $4 card.
How rare is Houndour?
We don't have official population figures for Houndour #115 in hand, so it's hard to say exactly how many PSA 10s exist out there. What we can say is that Ruler of the Black Flame wasn't a mass blockbuster set the way some later Japanese releases were, so print runs and surviving raw copies in top condition are naturally limited by time and handling rather than scarcity by design. That general rarity is part of why the gap between raw and PSA 10 pricing is as wide as it is, clean copies simply don't turn up often, and that scarcity is doing real work on the value.
Where can you pull Houndour?
This is where PackSpy's own data becomes useful, because we track real pack pulls across sites, not just price guide estimates. We've recorded Houndour pulled 77 times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, and mnstr, and it's shown up in packs like Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack. The biggest recorded pull value for this card hit $165, which tells you condition and grading potential can swing things well above typical market price when the stars align. Still, it's worth being honest here: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that number. If you're chasing Houndour specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is the more predictable route, pulling one is a bonus, not a plan.
