Tap to open
Houndour is the little dark-type hound from the Aquapolis set, a common card from 2003 with artwork by Midori Harada that still catches the eye of Pokemon collectors two decades later. If you are searching for Houndour value, the short answer is that it sits comfortably in budget territory raw, but grading can change that story quite a bit. It is the kind of card that reminds people how much fun early 2000s sets were to pull, even if it never wore the crown of the set.

The collector's take on Houndour
Is Houndour worth grading?
So is Houndour worth grading? Raw copies sit at $5, and a PSA 10 brings $39, which works out to about 7.9 times the raw price, so there is real upside if your card comes back gem mint. That said, a Grade 9 copy currently sits at $53, actually higher than the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading markets can be quirky and a near perfect card is not always the top payout. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your Houndour comes back a 10, so weigh the fee against what you are actually holding before you send it in. For a common card like this, grading makes more sense as a fun project or for a card in genuinely sharp condition rather than a guaranteed profit play.
How rare is Houndour?
Across every submission on record, only 265 Houndour cards have been graded, and of those just 82 have earned a PSA 10. That is a meaningful chunk landing in gem mint, which tells you the card grades reasonably well when it starts in good shape, but it also means true population at the very top is still limited. For a common card from Aquapolis, that kind of split keeps PSA 10 copies desirable to set builders and Aquapolis collectors even though the overall card is not scarce by rarity alone.
Where can you pull Houndour?
PackSpy has tracked 77 recorded pulls of Houndour across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, and mnstr, so this is a card that does show up if you are ripping packs on the right sites. The biggest pull we have logged came in at $165, well above the usual raw price, which happens when a rare hit or a graded outcome swings things. We have seen it turn up in packs like the Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble by nature, most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat any Houndour pull as a nice bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndour worth?+
A raw, ungraded Houndour from Aquapolis is worth $5. That is the baseline price collectors use before condition or grading comes into play, and it reflects its status as a common card from the 2003 set.
Is Houndour worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 brings $39, about 7.9 times the raw price of $5. But Grade 9 copies are currently valued at $53, higher than PSA 10, so it is worth checking current numbers and factoring in grading fees before you commit.
How much is a PSA 10 Houndour worth?+
A PSA 10 Houndour is valued at $39. Only 82 out of 265 graded copies have reached that gem mint grade, so while it is achievable, it is not a given for every submission.
