My favorite moment here was when Ash and friends cooked food to lure out the Houndour gang + when Ash got licked in the ending.

Eh, it was okay. 3/5 stars in my opinion.

Lol, so Nurse Joy put down her groceries to get ice cream and she's surprised when they get stolen? I'm actually surprised that Ash didn't get that Houndour. It challenged him personally, you'd think he would have caught it. :x

I liked Satoshi's distraught expression when the pack of wild Delvil stole his backpack, and I liked how the Rocket-dan stole from Joi's grocery bag. I also enjoyed how tenacious the Delvil pack was when they got lured in with the cooked hot dogs, and it was fitting that Joi would treat the injured Delvil in the end.

Great Houndour episode. Few funny moments, especially with Team Rocket. Them fighting over ham for lunch and then having their butts on fire. They should have known they were no match for a pack of five Houdour. Great on Ash to get the leader's trust and help the young and sick Houndour to recover.

I actually felt bad for the Rocket-dan. They were starving in this episode, so I couldn't fault them for stealing groceries from Joi. And although the pack of wild Delvil here was hungry as well, I thought that the Rocket-dan trio suffered more while those wild Delvil were given a rather generic sob story to garner sympathy.

I just wish Ash or Brock had managed to catch the leader Houndour, especially Brock since he was going to give Vulpix back to Suzie soon.

Takeshi didn't bond with the Delvil himself however, so I didn't think he deserved one, nor did Satoshi frankly since he had Hinoarashi as his Jouto Fire-type already anyway.

The episode was so-so. I liked Brock's wooden lure and the Houdour pack being very caring and protective for the injured one, as well as Ash recalling his Pokemon to show his good intentions, but that's it. Houndour jumping so high looked odd, I wish Ash had used Chikorita's Vine Whip to lift it instead.

It reminded me of how some animals in real life protect the weaker members of their group when they're sick or injured. I liked that added element of realism here since it made Delvil seem less like menaces and more like just another misunderstood species of Pokemon.

Since Houndour is a Dark type and this was the first time that Ash met a Dark Pokemon I was thinking that the Houndour pack would be genuinely evil but they were just trying to take food for the sick Houndour in the cave. I liked how Ash became friends with the wild Houndour pack and they acted more like wolves than a pack of stray dogs. I wanted Ash to get the Houndour that had the scar on its face but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. 7/10

Houndour are great. Ash probably didn't catch one because Houndour are considered devil Pokémon.
