# Bouffalant #174/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Bouffalant is a Unova Normal type with a modest but loyal following, mostly from its afro-bull oddness and the tank-like reputation its Bouffer ability earns on the table. As an uncommon in Obsidian Flames it sits in the mid-tier pull zone, a binder-filler with a Gen V completist crowd behind it. A $0.14 modelled guide, down 18% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,091 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $23, 161 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
