===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} is attacked by and defeated by four Pokémon, including a Houndour, when he enters the [[Ilex Forest]], and is then warned to stay out by the [[Masked Man]] in ''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour]]'' and ''[[PS104|The Ariados up There]]''. This Houndour is later used against [[Lt. Surge]] during his battle against the Masked Man, where its howls summon a herd of wild Houndour to aid it in battle. Although their constant howling prevented Lt. Surge from moving, he is able to have multiple {{p|Electrode}} use {{m|Selfdestruct}} to knock them down, allowing Surge to flee during the confusion.

One of [[Carl]]'s Houndoom was seen as a Houndour in ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', the round in which {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}} escaped from [[Pryce]].
