Houndstone · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Houndstone card
Numbered 106 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, Houndstone is a Rare, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 140 HP.
It evolves from Greavard, so Houndstone is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Houndstone carries this Pokédex flavor text: "A lovingly mourned Pokémon was reborn as Houndstone. It doesn't like anyone touching the protuberance atop its head."
What is Houndstone worth?
Houndstone is a non-holo Rare. In Scarlet & Violet, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Houndstone trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the 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 grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Houndstone is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Houndstone
For Houndstone, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Houndstone rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
