Houndour before Shelly?

[Erucion]

Hi, I'd like to ask , can we obtain Houndour before Shelly? i've been following the Spreadsheet and it said that Houndour can be obtained before shelly with Pokesnax and choosing aqua gang, I would like to know at which alley does houndour supposed to be in, i've been going to both alleys , catched murkow, zangoose, and zorua, defeated shelly, defeated magma gang leader, and i still can't find the houndour , does anybody know how to get this particular houndour?

Probably not possible. The quest to wipe out enemy gang, which is a prerequisite to reach the overworld Houndour encounter in the back alley of Magma territory, can be initiated only post Shelly.

No, it's impossible, you can get it only after defeating respective gang leaders (depending what gang you chose). Those fights, though, only trigger after defeating Shelly, so no, you can't get it after, and it's challenging to get it right after, too, as their pokemon are higher levels.

You can get it only after shelly in gang side quest(choose magma)

Don't need to choose Magma gang, if you choose Aqua, don't fret, you can defeat Magma gang boss and walk behind him (Where he stood) there you will find Houndour waiting for you for capture
