Its attacks

Coordinated PackMeute Coordonnée

For each of your Benched Houndour, search your deck for a Basic Energy card and attach it to that Houndour. Then, shuffle your deck.Pour chacun de vos Malosse de Banc, cherchez dans votre deck une carte Énergie de base, puis attachez-la à ce Malosse-là. Mélangez ensuite votre deck.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
Keep in mind
None of the 5,818 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,818 tournament lists we have read, 3,678 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Keep in mind
Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
