・ Facade

Houndstone has a good stat spread, great Ability and excellent signature move. During a Sandstorm its Speed stat is doubled, leaving only Electrode and Dragapult out-speeding it in the current format. Its signature move, Last Respects becomes more powerful for each of your Pokemon that has fainted, making Houndstone a great late game sweeper with a 150 Base Power STAB move if it is the last Pokemon remaining on your team (200 in Doubles).

Other Viable Moves

Disable Can shut down Choice item users
Will-O-Wisp Burns the opponent, halving their Attack stat. If used in conjunction with Sandstorm and Rock Tera Type, Houndstone becomes very bulky.

Other Viable Items

Choice Scarf Allows it to outspeed Choice Scarf Dragapult in Sandstorm

Held Item Assault Vest
Moveset ・ Last Respects
・ Play Rough
・ Stomping Tantrum
・ Tera Blast

This set runs Assault Vest and a Rock Tera Type, which along with its Sand Rush Ability, gives it a 2x Speed boost and 4x Special Defense Boost in Sandstorm. All of the EVs are invested in HP and Defense, adding to its bulk while also making its Body Press stronger. As Houndstone is typically your last Pokemon to use, the guarantee that it can take a few hits is reassuring. This specific Nature and stat spread allows Houndstone to OHKO Gholdengo, 2-Hit KO Hydreigon and survive a Dark Pulse from Hydreigon without Terastallizing.

Other Viable Moves

Facade Allows Houndstone to still deal decent damage in the event it is burned.

How to Use Houndstone Effectively

Save it For Last and Sweep

Houndstone is strongest as a late game sweeper, so save it as your last Pokemon.

Give it a Rock Tera Type for Extra Special Defense

Rock Type Pokemon get a boost to their Special Defense during Sandstorm, which Houndstone will be making use of anyway for the speed boost in order to be an effective sweeper.

How to Build a Team with Houndstone

Early Game Special Sweeper+ Sandstorm and Stealth Rocks + Houndstone= A Winning Formula

Houndstone is a strong late game Physical sweeper, so a lead Special Sweeper is a natural pair for this Pokemon. Having a utility Pokemon that can disrupt, set Sandstorm and Stealth Rock etc, is also crucial.

Counters for Houndstone
