Houndoom Pokemon Go – Weaknesses, Counters, How to Beat, All You Need To Know

Houndoom is a canine Pokémon with a long snout and an orange underside that is mostly black. It has tiny red eyes. A white band is wrapped around its neck, and a tiny skull-shaped necklace hangs from its neck.

The grooves on Mega Houndoom’s back harden, and bone-like collars grow around the bottom of its tail. The rings are topped with slight spikes, making them look like vertebrae.
