Houndoom is a Dark/Fire-type Pokémon (National Dex #229) with a middling stat total of 500. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 110, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Houndoom takes super-effective damage from Water, Fighting, Ground, Rock. It is completely immune to Psychic. It resists Fire, Grass, Ice, Ghost, Dark, Steel. Its ability options are Early Bird, Flash Fire, Unnerve, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Houndoom evolves into Houndour (24). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Houndoom has 70 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (23), Legends: Z-A (10), BDSP (37) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Houndoom ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
