Clarissa's Houndoom

Clarissa's Houndoom is the 4th Pokemon she obtained in Johto.

History
Houndoom is Clarissa's Pokémon and a close friend. Houndoom was first met as a Houndour when under the ownership of Marcus, who was a strict trainer. After Houndour lost to Clarissa's Quilava, Marcus was furious and hit his Pokemon. Houndour winced as Marcus was about to hit him again before Clarissa intervened and blocked the hit. The trio tried to tell him about how terrible that was but Marcus just scoffed and released Houndour. Clarissa then cheered up Houndour and ask if he wanted to join her, in which he accepted. Houndour evolves into Houndoom during her travels and defeats his old trainer in The Silver Conference. After Johto Clarissa left Houndoom at Oak's lab but battled with it again during the match between Noland and his Articuno. During her time at home when not on a journey, Houndoom is usually staying with her at her house. He sleeps by her bed or on it.
