Team Magma's Houndoom
Oracle Text
Attack Target Scorch (30): If the Defending Pokémon has Team Aqua in its name, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned.
Attack Damage Burn (40+): If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage.
Card Details
Character Background
Team Magma’s Houndoom fits best into an aggressive, tempo-oriented Fire deck that wants to pressure early and keep the opponent scrambling. Roasting Heat is the cleaner attack: for a modest cost, it becomes a reliable 50 damage when the Defending Pokémon is Burned, so pairing it with any Burn enabler greatly improves efficiency and forces awkward retreat or healing decisions. Magma Spurt is the higher-variance payoff, and in the right build it can swing games hard by converting deck speed into burst damage. The key deckbuilding tip is to maximize Fire and Fighting basic Energy, since only those count toward the discard payoff, and to thin the deck so the top five cards are more likely to hit live Energy. Thematically, Houndoom captures Team Magma’s ruthless, scorched-earth style—an attacker that rewards bold resource use and punishes opponents who fall behind on board control.
