Houndoom is card #179 of Battle Styles (2021), a Rare Secret Pokémon, illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki.
Houndoom appears in 30 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Battle Styles (2021) #179 card is one of 30 printings spanning 2000–2025. PLANETA Mochizuki only illustrated this Battle Styles version; other printings credit Shin Nagasawa, Akira Komayama, Kagemaru Himeno. Other Houndoom printings sit at Rare Holo, Rare, Uncommon, Rare Prime rarity tiers, so this Rare Secret Battle Styles card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 130 HP, while other Houndoom cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 130 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Houndoom hub page.

“Identifiable by its eerie howls, people a long time ago thought it was the grim reaper and feared it.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #229
The 1 in 80 pull chance is calculated from the Battle Styles rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Houndoom Battle Styles #179 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $23.93 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 250 Pack Dust from the Battle Styles dust pool, which fills as you open Battle Styles packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Houndoom or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
