The Houndoom Secret Rare (179/163) from Sword & Shield—Battle Styles (SWSH05) is one of the most visually striking Darkness-type cards to come out of the modern era — and it earns that status. Numbered beyond the set total at 179/163, this gold holofoil Secret Rare is among the hardest pulls in the set, illustrated by the renowned PLANETA Mochizuki whose signature gold-treatment artwork elevates the card to display-piece status.

Battle Styles was a landmark release in the Pokémon TCG. It was the first expansion to introduce the Single Strike and Rapid Strike mechanics, and it also brought back alternate-art cards for the first time since the Sun & Moon era — making its Secret Rare slot genuinely competitive. Houndoom sits at the center of the Single Strike archetype: its Single Strike Roar ability lets you search your deck for a Single Strike Energy and attach it directly to any Single Strike Pokémon each turn — a turbo-acceleration tool that fueled some of the era's most aggressive dark-type builds.

  • Card: Houndoom — Stage 1 Darkness, 130 HP
  • Number / Rarity: 179/163 / Secret Rare (Gold Holofoil)
  • Set: Sword & Shield — Battle Styles (SWSH05), released March 19, 2021
  • Ability: Single Strike Roar — energy acceleration for the entire Single Strike engine
  • Artist: PLANETA Mochizuki
  • Market range: Raw NM copies trade in the $25–$40 range; graded PSA 9 examples have sold above that, with PSA 10s commanding a premium

Raw copies in Near Mint condition are increasingly hard to find at fair prices, and graded examples attract competitive bids across PSA, CGC, and SGC. This is the gold Secret Rare that Single Strike collectors and Houndoom fans both want — a card that holds its own on a display shelf just as confidently as it did in the competitive format.
