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.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

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.

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.
Even if we don't understand each other,
that's not a reason to reject each other.

There are two sides to any argument.
Is there one point of view that has all the answers?

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.

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. :(

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...

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)

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.

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.
