Time, nonexistent, yet so much power over us
With a wrinkled old hand upon a coffin it lays a thin layer of dust...

Bouffalant

At first glance this Pokémon seems to be Tauros’ Twin other than the fact that it is bulkier and a lot slower and it’s a Buffalo and not a Bull, but aside from those differences if I were to put them next to each other there is no way anyone could possibly tell them apart…

Here is a Picture of Both of them just try to tell them apart

Base Stats

Hp-95 - Good
Attack-110 - Great
Def-95 -Good
Sp.Attack-45 -Mediocre
Sp.Defense-95 -Good
Speed-55 –Mediocre

Abilities
Reckless
Increases damage of Recoil Moves but also the Recoil Damage- This would probably be the ability of choice, because it will be of good use all the time.
Sap Sipper
Increases attack one stage when hit by a grass move, also negates Damage/Effects – If you hate Breloom well you will want this ability because it halts any Sub-Punch Breloom in its tracks, Although the new technician Breloom with Mach Punch will cause you a problem. Over all this ability will not be to helpful unless you expect Grass moves to be used.
(DW) Sound Proof – Is not effected by sound moves… This probably will not be coming in handy… ever.


Move Sets

For Bouffalant your main focus would be to sweep using Physical attacks, but due to its lack of speed this can be hard…

-Reckless –Adamant -Choice Band/Silk Scarf/Expert Belt -252 Attack -252 Defense -4 Speed -
-Head Charge (Afro Breaker)
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Wild Charge

An Alternative would be to try and use Boufalant as a wall which is not the best wall ever but it works…

-Sap Sipper –Impish/Careful –Leftovers -252 Hp -252 Defense -4 Sp.Defense/Attack
-Head Charge(Afro Breaker)/Return/Retaliate
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Pursuit/Sword Dance

And lastly a set up for A Trick Room Team…

-Reckless –Brave –Leftovers/Silk Scarf/Expert Belt –4 Hp -252 Attack -252 Defense
-Payback
-Head Charge(Afro Breaker)
-Wild Charge
-Earthquake

Other Moves
Megahorn – Its Bug type so it’s only good against Dark and Psychic… If it hits…
Poison Jab – Nothing really special might be useful on a Bulky Bouffalant.

Note that Defense and Sp.Defense Evs can be switched if you so choose.

One last thing… AFRO BREAKER!!

A never-ending struggle but one day you'll see the light
May not think you'll make it, but don't give up without a fight...

the reckles head smash is a pain... overall I think he's best used in a trick room team where he can probably 1hko most things with an afrobreak after some entry hazard damage.

sap sipper is a nice ability if you place him in a team with a lot of grass-weak pokemon, like rock and water types. but like yous said, reckless is always useful and the extra damage on head smash is incredible





...Stay fast to aspirations of what you think is right
and fight on with all your might!

Oh, man. This thing is a boss. I'd rather go for the Reckless rather than Sap Sipper if Breloom is your only concern, because it has access to Fighting-type moves. Then there's Sawsbuck, but... Jump Kick (not that anyone would use Sawsbuck in competitive play.) Also, a theory. If Sheer Force negates Life Orb recoil, would Life Orb boosted moves with recoil ALSO get the boost from Reckless?

Other than that, good job Kiyo.

You should have seen how much damage Bouffalant did to my Ferrothorn with Head Smash. I can tell you it hurt a lot. Good thing for Iron Barb and Rocky Helmet.

This thing is definitely a power house.

I'll assume it had the Reckless ability?

I can only imagine it did considering it took a third of Ferrothorn's hp.
