Lore

Why it matters

Part of the Plasma Blast expansion released in 2013, this card showcases Houndoom with the Team Plasma aesthetic that defined the era's competitive meta. Collectors value this holo-rare for its distinct metallic border design and its role as a representative of the short-lived Team Plasma sub-series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Provenance

Where it came from

The Houndoom card from the Plasma Blast expansion was released in August 2013 as part of the overarching Black & White series. This set focused on the Team Plasma narrative arc within the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which integrated the antagonists from the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 video games. The card features the signature blue-and-silver aesthetic associated with Team Plasma’s machinery and influence, reflecting the game's shift toward high-tech, industrialized Pokémon designs.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran illustrator whose contribution to the franchise dates back to the original Base Set. In this instance, Arita emphasizes the aggressive, sleek silhouette of Houndoom, utilizing the set's distinct holographic treatment to highlight the dark-type energy. Upon release, the set was noted for its inclusion of powerful card mechanics, though this particular holographic rare served primarily as a stylistic centerpiece for players and collectors interested in the thematic Team Plasma aesthetic.
