    This card was the perfect example of how much detail the Card Company was compacting into their Pokemon around the Gen 4 era. Cards had so much utility and promoted strategies that involved other Pokemon and pieces for a combo to achieve a goal/damage.

      All on an uncommon no less. Nowadays we have rares that have one attack with no extra effects

        True, they for sure simplified the game with watering down the versatile options all the Pokemon have overall starting with B/W sets.

    The only time Saitou has illustrated Houndoom’s pre-evolution was Crimson Invasion’s Houndour, in 2017
