Pokemon TCG Enthusiasts Adore the Latest Houndoom Artwork

Overview of Recent Updates in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The latest update, Triumphant Light, introduces exciting new Houndoom cards that are quickly becoming favorites among players.
Players admire the artwork of these Houndoom cards, with particular appreciation for the one that echoes designs from the Aquapolis expansion of the physical Pokémon TCG.

Pokémon TCG Pocket enthusiasts have expressed their enthusiasm for the newly introduced Houndoom cards in the latest game update. This update, known as Triumphant Light, is a significant addition to the Pokémon TCG Pocket, offering numerous new cards for players to incorporate into their collections.

Triumphant Light marks the third substantial update for Pokémon TCG Pocket users, following the releases of the Space-Time Smackdown expansion and the Mythical Island mini-set. While the Mythical Island set centered around Mew, this recent mini-set features Arceus, who is portrayed as an ex card. Notably, Triumphant Light serves as a continuation of the Space-Time Smackdown theme, bridging connections to Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. However, it delves into characters from Hisui, the historical name of Sinnoh during its discovery period. Among these new cards, a particular Houndoom card, dating back even before Generation 4, has captured the attention of many players.

The community has rallied around the new Houndoom cards, with a range of players praising the artwork in the comments section. Some have declared these cards as personal favorites, while others have drawn parallels to the anime Berserk due to the color schemes in one of the cards. Notably, players pointed out that while the full art feature is unique to the mobile version, the secondary card pays homage to a beloved design from the Aquapolis expansion, released back in 2003, which consisted of 186 collectible cards. The physical version of this card boasted a stunning Holofoil variant adorned with vibrant stars in the sky.

This enthusiasm for card art is not new to the Pokémon TCG Pocket community. Previously, players were captivated by an exceptionally dark card featuring a vulnerable Swinub on the verge of an impending ambush from Weavile. For those attentive to details, observant fans have identified numerous references to other Pokémon games within various cards featured in the game.
