Houndour is card #60 from Team Rocket Returns, the 2004 set that brought back some of the sneakiest Pokemon around, and this little dark-type has stuck around in a lot of collections since. It's a common, illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, so it was never chasing rare-pull glory, but that doesn't stop people from wanting to know what their copy is actually worth. If you're here checking Houndour value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $10, and it climbs from there depending on condition.

The collector's take on Houndour
Is Houndour worth grading?
So is Houndour worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $10, a Grade 9 gets you to $18, and a PSA 10 sits at $35, which works out to roughly 3.4x the raw price. That's a real jump, but grading isn't free, and you're paying that fee whether the card comes back gem mint or not. For a common card like this, the centering and edge wear from being printed decades ago can trip up even sharp-looking copies, so before you send it in, ask yourself if the card looks genuinely pack-fresh. If it does, grading can make sense. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to just enjoy it raw or sell it as-is.
How rare is Houndour?
There are 196 graded copies of Houndour on record, and out of those, 105 have made it to PSA 10. That's a little more than half, which tells you gem mint copies aren't impossible to find, but they're also not guaranteed just because you sent one in. For a common card from 2004, that population size feels about right, plenty of copies exist in the wild, but the grading pool stays modest since most people don't bother grading commons. That balance is part of why the PSA 10 price holds steady at a real premium over raw.
Where can you pull Houndour?
We've tracked 77 recorded pulls of Houndour across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, and mnstr, which gives a genuinely useful picture that price guides just can't offer. The biggest pull we've logged came in at $165, a nice reminder that even a common card can surprise you if the right buyer's watching. Houndour has turned up in packs like the Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack, so if you're hoping to pull one yourself, those are the styles of packs where it's shown up before. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so chase it because it's fun, not because you're expecting a payout.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndour worth?+
A raw, ungraded Houndour from Team Rocket Returns is worth $10. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 at $18 and a PSA 10 at $35, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Houndour worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The jump from $10 raw to $35 for a PSA 10 is about 3.4x, which is worth chasing if your card looks sharp, but grading fees eat into that gain if it comes back lower than expected.
How much is a PSA 10 Houndour worth?+
A PSA 10 Houndour is worth $35. Out of 196 total graded copies, 105 have hit that PSA 10 grade, so gem mint isn't rare for this card, but it still commands the top price.
