Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Bouffalant is a normal-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 490 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a physical attacking profile. Its Reckless ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Bouffalant. Build around what Bouffalant actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
