The Pokemon TCG Pocket community is buzzing with excitement over the newly released Houndoom cards featured in the Triumphant Light update. This latest expansion brings dozens of new cards for players to collect and incorporate into their decks.

Triumphant Light marks the third major card update for Pokemon TCG Pocket, following the Space-Time Smackdown expansion and the Mythical Island mini-set. While Mythical Island focused on Mew, this mini-set spotlights Arceus, who appears as a highly sought-after ex card.  Triumphant Light also builds upon Space-Time Smackdown, expanding the roster beyond the Sinnoh region to include Pokemon from Hisui, Sinnoh's ancient past.  Interestingly, one card generating considerable attention harkens back to a generation prior to Gen 4.

Players are particularly enthusiastic about the new Houndoom cards introduced in the Triumphant Light mini-set.  Redditor Piats99 showcased both Houndoom cards side-by-side, highlighting their striking artwork.  The full art variant depicts the Gen 2 Pokemon in a nocturnal forest setting, flames emanating from its mouth, exuding a menacing aura. The basic version portrays Houndoom perched high in a tree against a vibrant red and blue sky, equally intimidating.

The comments section echoed the OP's sentiment, showering praise on the Houndoom cards. Some players declared them among their favorites, while others drew comparisons to the anime Berserk due to the color palette of the second card.  Several Redditors pointed out that while the full art Houndoom is unique to the mobile game, the second card is a familiar sight to seasoned Pokemon TCG fans, originating from the 2003 Aquapolis expansion, the second set in the e-Card Series.  This physical card boasts a striking Holofoil variant with a glittering starry sky.

This isn't the first instance of the game's card art captivating players. Previously, the community was drawn to a darkly evocative card featuring an unsuspecting Swinub on the verge of a Weavile ambush.  Furthermore, another Redditor unearthed multiple references to other Pokemon games hidden within various card artworks, delighting those who enjoy uncovering such Easter eggs.
