Houndstone · Mega Evolution, what to know.
About the Houndstone card
Houndstone is card 145 of 188 in Mega Evolution, released in September 2025, an Illustration Rare. It is a Stage 1 Psychic-type with 140 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Greavard, which places Houndstone deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
What is Houndstone worth?
Houndstone is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Mega Evolution's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Mega Evolution holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Houndstone before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Houndstone lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The psychic foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Houndstone
Buying Houndstone well means pricing the exact print and grade, not the card name. Match the rarity tier to the comp before you buy. Always see the holo surface in good light first.
