This will be a short one. It's Houndour. The only new Fire-type introduced in Neo Discovery was Houndour. But I don't want to break my pattern, so we're doing a whole post for one card.
Houndour obviously exists to be a stepping stone for Houndoom. So really the only question we need to answer is: Does the Fire-type Houndour match up well into its Evolution Cards?
And Houndour is honestly a pretty good Basic, in a vacuum. Unfortunately, it's not a Darkness-type and its attacks require specifically Fire-type energy. This makes it kind of awkward to use with the regular Houndoom cards.
You could use it with Dark Houndoom, which is ironically the only non-Darkness Houndoom, but even that card wants you to attach Darkness Energy to it, oddly enough. As such, the Darkness-type Houndour is preferable.
Grade: 4/10
And that's that. Would you be surprised to hear that Neo Discovery didn't exactly revolutionize the Fire-type? That's going to be a running theme, but wow. A whole type only got one new card and it's not even a fully evolved 'mon. I sure hope that's not going to happen twice in the same set...
