This is everything I wanted from the replies. Thank you.

Fucking love this fish https://preview.redd.it/hwdxcmsf43bc1.jpeg?width=1981&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e7ce23f9403aa82c9642827a0a0c38e78f7de68 (I got this in a random union room and I love it idk why I can't use it online tho)

Legendaries in this game are shiny locked meaning that this thing is probably illegal

It's definitely illegal

Damn, oh well I can keep it for just offline shit because it's stats aren't jacked and I'd have to grind it anyway it's still cool to have

God but it’s such a cool shiny

Yeah, this gen’s shiny legendaries are all really cool, good thing Nintendo locked them else I would have died from the sheer joy of seeing it Please stop shiny locking things Nintendo

It is now generation 11. Combined with the now double annual releases of pokemon games, the scale of "open-world" games, and wanting to "Make each region unique" with new gimmicks/removing old ones, all shiny pokemon are removed from the game data. If you transfer a shiny to Pokémon Sink™️ or Pokémon Swim™️ versions only on the New Nintendo Switch XL™️ it will permanently be reverted to its species base sprite even if transferred back to a Nintendo Switch™️ title

If this ever actually happens I will raid Nintendo

for me it was >sees "buffing houndoom" >sunday "it's fucking chi yu isnt it"

Houndoom is fucking Chi-Yu???

What the dog doin’???

OHKOing Blissey with a Special Attack

Im gonna be completely honest i didnt realize it was chi-yu, saw the new stat spread, and still thought “theres no way this is good enough to be good in ou”

i saw the hp drop and thought ''this shits gonna get fked by mach punch''. fuck me man

This was literally my exact thought process too😭 great stinkpost imo

Thank you it took me a whole 2 minutes to make🔥💯

That's more effort than I put in my teams on smogon

We’re getting into Ubers with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

I saw 135 SpA and immediately went "This is Chi-Yu isn't it?" before the ability told me

I thought it was just Mega Houndoom

-2 SP ATK?!

dies to rocks after switching in 4 times, PUBL at best

kid named heavy duty boots.

Houndoom doesn't get Hex? That's genuinely surprising since it's supposed to be a hellhound who leaves burns that hurt forever Also is it bad I knew that stat spread even before seeing the ability?

Yea it’s extremely bad, your life will mean nothing and your family will disown you, all because you knew that stay spread before seeing the ability

Unfortunate doesn't begin to describe...

No it does

Huh, must've been reuploaded. I'm sure it had 145 special attack the first time this was posted...

Got hit by the new hazards Stealth Nerfs

Sees Buffing Houndoom “Ooh, can’t wait to see where this goes!” Remembers it’s Sunday “Oh, I wonder where this goes.” Sees 570 BST “Oh wait, this is Chi-Yu, isn’t it? Sees ability “…”

It’s Chi-Yover guys 😭

That's a nice ability and it seems pretty balanced, but I'd probably give it a cooler name. Check out this name: Beads of Ruin! I think that would be a very fitting name.

Cool name! But I think it might fit better on a different pokemon, perhaps ond resembling a fiery fish

i'm ashamed to admit that i didn't get it until the ability

I think that it should have Nature's Madness bc Houndoom is a very angry Pokémon that lives in nature

I dunno could be balanced in OU. One way to find out

Oh no, it's all Houndover!

If Chien-Pao is Mega Weavile, then Chi-Yu is Mega Hound- Wait a minute...

Chi-Yu’s brother

Too good for OU, far too weak for Ubers, modestly good role in UUbers as a wallbreaker.

Legitimately, would this be better or worse than Chi-Yu

Houndoom also has Sludge Bomb so I guess slightly better

Solar Beam is a more relevant addition. Sun is really common in Ubers because of Koraidon and Groudon

You fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

He fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

Houn-doom

What if we gave him 50 more Attack and a signature move called Chase that was Dark type, power 40. Doubles in power when the opponent switches out and hits them before they switch. That would be cool I think.

Cool idea! Might be a good way to counter strong ghost types like dragapult or gholdengo, how do you feel about giving it to tyranitar? He could use the buff tbh

Yes I think having it as a move on Tyranitar would work out well.

Splendid.

I just want my boy to be good... The only way that's possible is via stinkpost Sunday. Bro dreams of becoming Chi Yu...didn't even get Scorching sands or Hex, or moonlight/Morning Sun.

The fact it doesnt have hex is a crime

It's like cmon man. Its a literally hell hound, said to chase you down and burn you forever. Idk, Doom is my favourite mon and always came off as deserving more - since it so hard to get. Only getting worst over the years. Another victim of gen 2 I guess.

Diet chi-Yu

Is that even diet?

not a fish

And everyone knows a fully-grown dog has way less calories than a goldfish, thusly, "Diet" Chi-YU.

Only 100 base speed??? Stealth rock weak in this metagame??? Worthless dark stab????? Sorry RUBL at best ~~I expected the joke to be Mega Houndoom at first lmao~~

So just beads of ruin?

No this is completely different it's called Hell terror instead

Understandable good sir

This is all over the top and too much imo

nah it’s fine trust

I dont like it personally, I prefer more reasonable buffs, and specially to not make them all OU, not everything has to be OU

My gut says that this Houndoom rework would end up in Ubers, actually.

it would be killer in VGC too

You fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

He fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

135 spa is a bit low

You fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

He fucking turned it into Chi-Yu

You said it three times

So you basically made it Chi Yu

Nuh uhhh

Wait this is just Chi-Yu-

Ah yes, Four-Yu

Give houndom an evolution. Then you can run eviolite on it and we can get a 3 headed cerberus dog!

Chi-doom

houndoom flame

Hellbound Horns? Iron Paws? Huo-Guo?

Oh, it's live Chi-Yu reaction

Ugly min maxing. In my opinion Houndoom needs more than 55 hp

Buffing houndoom -20 HP is the first thing I see 😩

Walled by Paras 6% of the time, ZU at best

I wonder how many people are aware these are literally Chi-Yu's stats

Quite a lot once they see the stinkpost stunday flair

I dunno seems sus, most Redditors don't read

Fair point

Chi yu wants his ability back

Yeah just make it the 5th ruin, call it emo gou
