Boufallant, what a pain to take down.
 
Ugh,it annoys the hell out of me whenever I face this bulky cow....Freaking HEAD CHARGE!!! :t130: Do you agree with me?

**Crap,typo...It should be Bouffalant,sorry!And with a missing "a" in front of "pain"...Silly me... :(

The Nightmare August 6th, 2011 2:13 AM

Boffolant is soo annoying to fight, because it keeps on useing head charge on my pokemon and it dies which sucks :/.

Simmy93 August 6th, 2011 5:45 AM

I'd love him more if Tauros evolved into him while holding (x) horn. :D

Kevin August 6th, 2011 6:56 AM

Uh... I don't remember if I hated it or not. Probably not, though. But I do hate its cry.

Mew~ August 6th, 2011 6:59 AM

I didn't have trouble with it when fighting Ghetsis, Hydreigon was much harder to take down if you ask me.

Other than that, didn't run into it much to be honest.

  1. Switch to Scrafty
  2. Proceed to destroy

Simipour August 6th, 2011 7:33 AM

His signature attack is a pain, but if you have a speedy fighting Pokemon (like Meinshao) he's not hard to take down at all. Jump Kick.

PlatinumDude August 6th, 2011 7:40 AM

Bouffalant is pretty bulky, so it can take a hit before getting a Head Charge in. I've battled my fair share of them and while they weren't the easiest Pokemon to go up against, they weren't very hard either because of how Head Charge recoil can add up.

Neltar August 6th, 2011 8:01 AM

He was a pain for me yeah. Admittedly mainly only in the wild when I was concentrating on grinding rather than Ghetsis. All in all I found it better to grind in Victory Road or focus him down if I was up against him in a 2v2.

Aeonz361 August 6th, 2011 3:16 PM

Boufalant was a pain for me in the Elite Four when Alder used him...

Scat Away August 6th, 2011 6:08 PM

head charge! RAWR*cringes*

anyway, yeah, a total pain, just when i think i take it down, its still there. and then my poor pokemon takes a blow to the face...

Alder August 6th, 2011 9:04 PM

I LOVE MY BOUFFALANT :(

But really, Bouffalant is the only one that I still have trouble with, because I grind on the E4 with Volcarona and he can't take on a Bouffalant with any of his moves easily. Then I go to switch to my most defensive Pokemon to take on more Head Charges which is Ferrothorn, and then I forget he has Sap Sipper and use Power Whip and make it worseeee I suck lol.

Lord_Storm August 7th, 2011 6:28 AM

They do get rather annoying while I'm trying to train my Rufflet, as I have to switch to another pokemon to battle or run and it takes a god 40-50% health away.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ August 7th, 2011 6:44 AM

Yeah, Head Charge is annoying for me too, especialy when I'm trying to level grind and I have to use a Hyper Potion every time I battle one because I can't get the OHKO and then it does something destructive.

Kikaito plush August 7th, 2011 8:13 AM

The thing that annoys me about it as well as Head charge is it's cry

2Cool4Mewtwo August 7th, 2011 8:38 AM

Bouffalant is somewhat sturdy and is hard to take down, but fighting moves usually OHKO it. I've never had much trouble with it.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ August 8th, 2011 4:46 AM

if only we can get rid of Head charge then I will love it and not find it a pain in the butt because it most love using that move (or thats its only move)


:t354:TG

Ho-Oh August 8th, 2011 4:51 AM

tbh it's worse that it appears in the last route before the elite four, when you're trying to grind for either the elite four or grind for Iris/Drayden, and in the double battle grass it keeps appearing and it's pretty strong, and ugh. Just somewhat annoying to battle in-game, but hey if you use fighting types (which are useful basically all the way through - or Scraggy at least since psychics are also common and you've got crunch to counter them etc and with those not affecting, yeah) Boufallant shouldn't be an issue. :3

Though yes it is annoying. :(

Legendary Silke August 8th, 2011 5:22 AM

With the right strategy, Pokémon and moves, I can take down Boufallant relatively easily. Emphasis on the Pokémon part - some work really well, but for others, your best bet is to switch out. I don't find them annoying, to be honest...

Jack August 8th, 2011 10:39 AM

I just use Hydro Pump. Its screwed. :D

Maple Leaf August 8th, 2011 12:53 PM

I didn't have any troubles with it, tbqh. ;;

It takes a few turns to take it down, but I'm always stocked with Full Restores and whatnot.

Zelda August 8th, 2011 1:27 PM

I definitely got annoyed with its Head Charge, especially since my team didn't consist of any fighting types during the time I was heading towards the Elite Four. :( Now that I'm training a new team to challenge the E4 a second time around, I have Scrafty's help for them. 8)

zlip August 8th, 2011 1:29 PM

Get a Srafty. At level 74 it beat it in one hit with brick break. Could probably have done it lower if I kept hi jump kick.

Steven August 8th, 2011 1:30 PM

As long as you have one Pokemon that is faster than it, he is pretty easy to beat. So I don't think he's tough in the wild or on in-game teams.

Tsundera August 8th, 2011 1:41 PM

Bouffallant is no more annoying than any other Pokémon with a heavy damaging recoil-inducing attacking move :/ I don't think I had much trouble against them in the wild before the Elite 4 mainly because I grinded off of Audinos instead. He was no problem when used by Ghetsis or Alder. As Yo Face Here said, I'm pretty stocked up on healing items in preparation for the worst as it is.
