Why This Card

Team Rocket's fiery Dark-type in Gem Pack Vol. 7. CBB7C is built around the Owner's Pokémon theme, and Team Rocket's Houndoom is one of the featured Trainer pairings in the set. Team Rocket-themed cards carry persistent collector demand, and Owner's Pokémon ARs featuring iconic villainous teams have consistently commanded a premium over generic species ARs in the Gem Pack line.

China-exclusive AR artwork. Gem Pack Vol. 7 is a Simplified Chinese-exclusive product line. Its Illustration Rares are not printed in Japanese or English sets, so this Team Rocket's Houndoom AR must be sourced through the S-Chinese import market. Western supply is structurally constrained relative to Japanese sets.

Pull-rate context. ARs occupy the ★★★ slot at a 1.81% rate per pack. With 28 species in the AR pool, the expected pull rate for this specific Team Rocket's Houndoom is approximately one in 390 packs. A full booster box does not guarantee pulling it.

Gameplay utility. Dark Live Coal applies Burn and Confusion simultaneously, creating immediate status pressure. Scorching Fire provides a 120-damage follow-up for two energy, at the cost of one energy discard — a trade-off that fits Fire-type decks capable of energy acceleration.
