Pokemon Farming!: Houndour

October 17, 2008 | 55 Comments


Houndour is an often over looked pokemon of the fire and dark typing. It’s known for their tenacity and team work, Houndour are a useful member of any team. At level 24 Houndour evolves into the eerie Houndoom. Houndoom is a great member of any team. With the ability to absorb and power itself up with enemy fire attacks, Houndoom works well for forcing choiced opponents stuck on a fire attack to switch out, giving it the opportunity to boost it’s stat. With Nasty Plot in it’s arsenal it poses a threat even to the queen of special walling, Blissey. So, the Houndour I have for you today are Timid(attack-, speed+) with the following move set:

Nasty Plot: Raises Houndour’s special attack by two stages.

Flamethrower: A powerful STAB with a base power of 95 and a 10% chance of burning your opponent.

Dark Pulse: A secondary STAB, with a bonus of a 20% flinch rate.

Counter: A retaliation move that inflicts double the damage taken from any  physical attack.

Ability:

Flash Fire: When hit by a fire attack(Will-o-wisp included) Houndour’s fire attacks will recieve a 1.5 boost

Rules:

Post your name and FC (even if we’ve traded before I will need it again)

Only 1 Pokémon per person
If you prefer a particular gender or ability tell me, this is on the first come first serve basis.
Please do not trade me eggs
Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 5 pm(PST), on October 18th
Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.
Items(rare candies or Heart Scales) are very appreciated but not required.
If you are new to our site, your first comment will be moderated. Don’t worry if your post doesn’t show, we will get to it in time, and you will not miss out!

Greetings, Everyone!

Welcome to an extra special edition of the Friday Farmer’s Market: Second Harvest. My handle here is BryGuy. Tonight’s Farmer’s Market will be very different, so please be aware of the new conditions. Over the past number of weeks I have been offering pokemon with special movesets. Many people have been asking me for more of these pokes for various reasons. Tonight, I am going to clear out my boxes of any leftover pokemon from these events. The pokemon offered tonight are as follows:

  • Houndour (about 4 individuals)
  • Elekid (about 6 individuals)
  • Cyndaquil (about 10 individuals)
  • Swinub (about 9 individuals)

These are the same little guys I offered at previous Farmer’s Market Events. They all have amazing movesets, they are all 100% game-legal, and they were all bred by me using normal methods and loving care! Check my previous Farmer’s Market posts to see all the details about these awesome pokemon. Please be careful to follow the special procedures indicated below.

Here are the rules and procedures for tonight’s Second Harvest Farmer’s Market:

  • Enter my trainer name and friend code into your pal pad. My trainer name is BryGuy and my friend code is 3737 6015 6762.
  • Have a Pokemon ready in your party to trade to me. Today I will accept anything, but I like to be surprised! Feel free to trade me something you think is cool or unique. It is especially nice if the Pokemon is holding something (berries, items, etc.)!
  • Post a comment to this article saying which ONE of these pokemon you would like. I will issue them on a first-post, first present, basis. If you are not ready in the WiFi Club when I come to trade with you, I will move to the next person on my list. You may need to accept the pokemon offered to you. There will probably not be much choice in terms of male or female, etc.
  • In your post requesting a pokemon, MAKE SURE YOU CLEARLY AND ACCURATELY LIST YOUR TRAINER NAME FROM YOUR GAME AND YOUR FRIEND CODE. EVEN IF WE HAVE TRADED BEFORE, PLEASE LIST THIS INFORMATION. I had to clear my Pal Pad a few times so most of my previously entered “Pals” have been removed. I will enter as many of friend codes before the Farmer’s Market as I can.
  • In your game, enter the WiFi Club at 7:30 pm eastern time (6:30 pm central time) on Friday, August 31, 2007. Please note this new time for tonight!
  • When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option (INVITE -> TRADE) and wait for me to select you.
  • I will not be on early tonight.
  • Please be patient. I may have to leave the WiFi Club sometimes to get more pokemon. Please don’t panic, I’ll return promptly!
  • The Farmer’s Market will run from 7:30 to 8:30 pm EDT.
  • I am only prepared to trade the pokemon listed above. Please do not ask for other Pokemon. I will not be trading anything other than what I have listed tonight. Thanks.

I am looking forward to trading. See you at the Farmer’s Market!

Pokemon Farmers Market: Houndour

July 27, 2007 | 68 Comments

HoundourHoundoomGreetings, Everyone!

Welcome to Friday of “Dark Week”! My handle here is BryGuy and I will be heading this evening’s Pokemon Farmer’s Market featuring Houndour.

After I volunteered to breed Houndour this week I realized that I haven’t played with a Houndour or Houndoom since the Gold and Silver Pokemon games! Somehow I missed it in Emerald! Anyway, I was glad I chose this little dark doggie because it was nostalgic for me as well as a fresh challenge to breed something unique and useful.

After a minor hassle of trying to catch one of these puppies in Pokemon Pearl (fiddling with pokeradar, walking in tall grass on route 214, finally encountering a rare Houndoom and discovering that they know “Roar” and run away!) I got to work breeding a “knock-out” moveset. After involving sets of parents that included Arcanine and Lucario as well as Houndoom, I was finally able to settle on the following moves to breed into the level 1, baby Houndour:
Houndour Moves

  • Dark Pulse
  • Crunch
  • Thunder Fang
  • Flamethrower

Pretty nice moves for a little, level 1 doggie! You may decide that he never needs to learn another move, ever! These Houndour are 100% game-legal. They were not hacked in any way. The move set was obtained through normal breeding and careful study!

By the way, I give nicknames to all of my Pokemon. I know some people never give nicknames and hate the idea of thinking up names. I enjoy the challenge and I think it helps give each little, pixelated Pokemon a personality. It also helps me tell them apart so I can quickly find a specific creature. Last week all the Elekids I traded were named after characters from the Star Trek television series. This week, all the Houndour I trade will have names from Aztec (Mexica) history and mythology. Pretty geeky, huh? After the trade, you can pop onto Wikipedia and find out what awesome deity your Houndour is named after. A little “educational fun” tossed in with your Pokemon!!

Please feel free to turn up the loudness on your game so we can talk back and forth during the trade, making selection easier. By the way, you don’t need a headset to talk. Your DS built-in microphone will do the trick. If you would rather not talk and select a Houndour, I will pick one for you.

Here are the rules and procedures for tonight’s Farmer’s Market:

  1. Enter my trainer name and friend code into your pal pad. My trainer name is BryGuy and my friend code is 3737 6015 6762.
  2. Have a Pokemon ready in your party to trade to me. Today I will accept anything but I like to be surprised! Feel free to trade me something you think is cool or unique. It is especially nice if the Pokemon is holding something (berries, items, etc.)!
  3. Post a comment to this article saying that you would like a Houndour. Make sure you clearly and accurately list your trainer name from your game and your friend code. Even if we have traded before, please list this information. I can’t guarantee that you are still in my Pal Pad. I will enter as many of these before the Farmer’s Market as I can.
  4. In your game, enter the WiFi Club at 7:00 pm eastern time (6:00 pm central time) on Friday, July 27, 2007.
  5. When you enter the Wi-Fi zone select the trade option (INVITE -> TRADE) and wait for me to select you.
  6. If you can, be early. I may be online early.
  7. Please be patient. I should have plenty of Houndour. I may have to leave the WiFi Club sometimes to get more Houndour. Please don’t panic, I’ll return promptly!
  8. The Farmer’s Market will run from 7:00 to 8:00 pm EDT.
  9. I am only prepared to trade specially prepared Houndour. Please do not ask for other Pokemon. I will not be trading anything other than Houndour tonight. Thanks.

I am looking forward to trading. See you at the Farmer’s Market!
