Houndstone 073/063 (JP)

This is Houndstone 073/063, a Japanese card from the Mega Symphonia set. It carries the Art Rare finish, where a single illustration fills the entire card frame rather than sitting inside a standard border. The collector number 073 runs past the set's base count of 063, which places it in the secret rare range, the extra slots added beyond the main numbering that set builders chase.

Houndstone is one of the newer Pokemon designs, and full art versions of it remain fairly uncommon, so its appearance as an Art Rare in Mega Symphonia gives collectors a clear reason to seek it out. Cards like this suit people who enjoy illustration led pulls as well as those completing the secret rare portion of the set. The higher number adds to its standing as one of the harder cards to track down in the release.
