Team Rocket's Houndoom
Oracle Text
Attack Cruel Coal: Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned and Confused.
Attack Scorching Fire (120): Discard an Energy from this Pokémon.
Card Details
Character Background
Team Rocket’s Houndoom fits best in a tempo-control Fire shell, where its job is to disrupt the opponent while pressuring prizes. Cruel Coal is the key: Burned plus Confused can strand an Active Pokémon, force awkward retreat decisions, and slowly rack up damage even if the attack itself is modest. That makes it especially useful against decks that rely on a single attacker or thin switching counts. Scorching Fire then supplies the cleaner closer, hitting for 120 at the cost of discarding an Energy, so it rewards lists that can recycle Energy efficiently rather than overcommitting to one attachment plan. Pair it with acceleration or retrieval cards that let you keep attacking after the discard, and with effects that trap or soften the opposing Active so the status pressure matters more. The Team Rocket branding also suggests a sneaky, oppressive style: not pure speed, but calculated disruption backed by a dangerous finisher.
