Houndour #204 is one of those illustration rare pulls that makes you stop scrolling and actually look, a moody KYUPIYAMA take on the little dark-type fire dog from the 2023 Obsidian Flames set. It is not the chase card of the set, but it has quietly built a following among collectors who like art-forward numbers, and if you are trying to pin down Houndour value right now, the raw copy sits at $11 with real upside if you send it in graded. Simple, honest, and worth understanding before you buy or sell one.

The collector's take on Houndour
Is Houndour worth grading?
Here is the honest math: a raw Houndour is $11, a Grade 9 comes in around $23, and a PSA 10 jumps to $163, which works out to 15.3 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on illustration rares like this one, the borders and ink saturation on KYUPIYAMA's art show every little printing flaw under grading lights. Add in grading fees, shipping, and the wait time, and grading only makes sense if your copy already looks flawless in hand, corners sharp, centering clean, no surface scuffing. If you are on the fence, it is worth grading only when you are fairly confident it is a 9 or 10 candidate, otherwise you are paying money to find out you own an $11 card with a slip of cardboard around it.
How rare is Houndour?
Illustration rares as a category sit above your standard rares but below the ultra-rare secret art cards, so Houndour was never printed in the huge quantities you see with common pulls, but it also is not scarce in the way a low-population graded gem is. What actually drives the real scarcity here is condition, not the card itself: plenty of raw copies exist, but truly clean, gem-worthy copies are a smaller slice, which is exactly why that PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw number. If you are chasing value, it is less about finding a Houndour and more about finding one that survived its trip through packs and shipping in sharp shape.
Where can you pull Houndour?
PackSpy has tracked 45 recorded pulls of Houndour across the pack sites we monitor, including packs, tilt-rips, courtyard, lastpack, mnstr, and collector-crypt, with the biggest single recorded pull landing at $1,164. It has turned up across a mix of pack types too, from Catch 'em All - Obsidian Flames to Pokémon Mini Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and rookie, so there is no single site or product hoarding it. That spread is useful information most price guides simply do not have, because it tells you Houndour shows up often enough across formats that you are not stuck buying it secondhand if you would rather chase the pull yourself, just go in knowing pack opening is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndour worth?+
A raw, ungraded Houndour #204 from Obsidian Flames is valued at $11. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 around $23 and a PSA 10 reaching $163, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Houndour worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 15.3 times the raw price of $11, but gem mint copies are not easy to pull off with this card. Grade it if the copy already looks sharp and centered in hand, otherwise the grading fee may cost more than the upgrade is worth.
What set is Houndour from?+
Houndour #204 comes from the Obsidian Flames set, released in 2023, where it appears as an illustration rare illustrated by KYUPIYAMA. It has since been recorded pulled across several pack sites and pack types, including Obsidian Flames themed packs and general mixed packs.
