Houndstone

() is a -type Pokémon species introduced in Generation IX.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Houndstone is a large canine that appears to be a skull and bones covered in long, ghostly white hair. Its tail is two jagged bones connected together, and its four feet are composed of three toe bones per foot connected to a heel bone and a leg bone that extends up past the hairline. It has a large hump on its back, but as Houndstone doesn't appear to have any fat or muscle, it's unknown what this hump is composed of. Its eyes are not seen as they are also covered in hair, but its large snout can be seen, possessing a massive underbite. The most prominent feature, though, is the massive tombstone sticking out of its head after which this Pokémon derives its name.
Shiny Houndstone have dark brown humps and their white hair changed to a light brown color.
===Behavior===
Houndstone are immensely loyal Pokémon towards their Trainers and the loyalest amid all known dog Pokémon, despite their eerie skeleton-like countenance. They are nocturnal and normally spend their time slumbering in graveyards. They are friendly, but dislike those who touch the protuberances atop their heads.
It is rumored that a Houndstone is reborn from a lovingly mourned Pokémon.
===Natural abilities===
Houndstone is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Last Respects via leveling up.
==Evolution==
Houndstone evolves from Greavard at level 30 during the night.

==Trivia==
*Houndstone has been banned from online tournaments as its signature move, Last Respects is far too overpowered, considering the fact it can reach 300 base power without buffs.
**Due to how Last Respects works, it is also the only Pokémon that has a move dealing over four digits' worth of base damage.
===Origin===
Houndstone may be based on various long-haired dog breeds such as the Sheepdog.
Houndstone's skeletal appearance and typing may be based on depictions of the undead. The protrusion on its head resembles a tombstone, while the raised portion of its body resembles a tumulus, a pile of earth placed over burial grounds. 
It being described as the most loyal of the dog Pokémon may also point to the White Cadejo.
====Etymology====
Houndstone may be a combination of hound and headstone.
==== Other Language ====
Hakadoggu may be a combination of 墓 haka (tomb) and dog.
