All moves Bouffalant can learn in Pokemon Go
In Pokemon Go, Bouffalant has access to two Fast Moves and four Charged Moves. Bouffalant also has access to four different types across its move pool.
Bouffalant can learn the following moves:
Bouffalant’s best PvP moveset in Pokemon Go isZen Headbutt as its Fast Move, with Skull Bash and Earthquake as Charged Moves.
The choice of Fast Move is very close between Mud Shot and Zen Headbutt, but overall Zen Headbutt slightly takes the advantage.
While Mud Shot has better type coverage compared to Zen Headbutt, the extra damage is what a competitive Bouffalant will want to focus on.
Bouffalant’s first Charged Move should go to Skull Bash, thanks to its access to STAB and its high base Damage output.
The second Charged Move should go to Earthquake, as it provides great type coverage while boasting excellent damage.
Similar to its PvP moveset, Bouffalant’s best Raid moveset in Pokemon Go isZen Headbutt as its Fast Move, with Skull Bash and Earthquake as Charged Moves.
As Normal is a neutral type in Pokemon, it’s not worth limiting Bouffalant to one type. As such, the above moveset does the most to capitalize on Bouffalant’s DPS potential.
