Definitely a hard one to choose between, I'm really fond of these two Pokémon with their appearance, stats, typing etc. If I had to choose one I'd go for Bouffalant, as much as I like both of them I think I'd enjoy training Bouffalant more than Druddigon.

I raised a Druddigon in White, and destroyed lots of Pokemon with it. Some thanks to it's 'Rough Skin' ability.

Bouffalant has nothing but physical attacks, so a Pokemon like him would be massively affected every time he attacks.

Plus Druddigon is pretty powerful on its own.

I don't particularly like either of them. Neither of their designs appeal to me, but I chose Druddigon because I like its colour scheme more.

I picked Bouffalant this time cos it has good abilities and even a signature move. Yay for hard-hitting STAB Head Charges!

Druddigon is way too ugly for me.

Visually, I think both of these Pokemon are pretty 'meh' (but I do like Bouffalant's afro :3). In terms of use in battle, however, I've only ever used a Druddigon, and so I'm voting for that, because I remember being surprised and satisfied how good it seemed to be. Although I really, really don't like how it looks xD

If Druddigon wins I quit PC, srs. Well, probably not serious but that's how much I dislike it! I once had s nightmare about it and it's my least favourite Pokemon idk I've never used either but Druddigon's design is terrible and yeah :(

Didn't you have a Druddigon theme a couple months ago though :\?

Between the two I got more use out of Druddigon. The design seems more original as I don't believe we have a Gargoyle based pokemon. And I prefer Dragon typing to Normal. So altogether Druddigon is overall more appealing to me.

I am usually fond of dragon pokemons and always stay away from pure normal types. Weird enough, I am kind of leaning toward Bouffalant here. Druddigon is cool, but I can find many other better dragon types that does his job (Haxorus).
As for Bouffalant, even though he didn't strike my design rating till 10, I am still impressed by his bulk, I find it quite useful. I remember using one, and it was quite good. It's against my instinct but....I'll vote for him, Bouffalant.

Well yes, but it was kinda like Hikari10's assange themes. Having a theme of something you hate makes total sense imo ;;

Oh right, I also like Bouffalant because of Head Charge, like really, Druddigon doesn't get anything awesome like that. :x

How funny you mention that infamous theme of mine, it actually got me sudden popularity in Other Trivia.

Back on topic, I like Bouffalant cos of its hard-hitting Head Charge not to mention it has useful abilities. Druddigon's Sheer Force was nice and I did get Sheer Force on my own Druddigon, sadly he had a hindering nature.

My Bouffalant has a neutral nature and she got Reckless for her ability, she did well but I often had to heal her cos of the increased recoil damage. At least Bouffalant can be good if trained right.

Nica, I'm on your side for this one.

Die, Druddigon, die! Fugly-ass dragon who's too slow for its own good and needs a facelift more than it needs a speed boost. Everything about it is just so bleh! It's honestly one of my least favourite Unova critters, so even if it was up against something like Maractus, it'd still lose in a heartbeat. But it does help that Boufflant at least looks cool - with its afro! - despite being a Tauros knock-off. Boufflant (and, well, anything else) >>>> Druddigon.

@ Above. Agreed. Afro Tauros, yo. Both lack speed, but if you compare the three non legendary Pokemon, ( Axew Family Line, Deino Family Line and Druddigon itself ), he puts himself to shame being the weakest at whatsoever level. Saddening to say this to all Druddigon fans, if you give Tauros the chance to be part of your team for the Elite Four standard, it's much better than Druddigon. I myself has beaten the game and that no good Dragon Type will just pull your team down.
