From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Bouffalant (Japanese: バッフロン Buffron) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Bouffalant is a bovine Pokémon with a large, dark afro on its head. Two large, curving horns, each with two golden growths resembling rings, protrude from the afro. It has a shaggy brown hide that ends at its knees and does not cover its face. A large, gray nose sits at the end of its short, beige snout, and its yellow eyes are partly hidden by its hair. There are black tear markings directly below its eyes. Each of its beige legs has a single, gray hoof and its tail ends in a stubby tuft of fur. A territorial Pokémon, it will headbutt anyone that attempts to invade its territory. However, in the anime, it has been known not to attack those with an afro hairstyle. Protected by its afro, which absorbs damage, its headbutts are strong enough to derail a train and send it flying. Bouffalant is the only known Pokémon to learn Head Charge.
In the anime

Trivia
Origin
Bouffalant is based on a buffalo; specifically, an American Bison. However, the horns more closely resemble those of the African Water Buffalo or Bison latifrons. The fur on its head resembles an afro. It has single-toed hooves like a horse rather than those of a bovine.
Name origin
Bouffalant is a combination of bouffant and buffalo. It may also involve gallant.
Buffron is a combination of buffalo, afro, and bison.
