Biology[]

Physiology[]

Buneary concept art — Concept artwork of Buneary.

Buneary appears to be a brown bunny with yellow-cream fluffs on its ears. It also has pink undersides on its ears. Buneary also possesses a pink, triangular-shaped nose and small, black eyes with cream-colored eyebrows. It has yellow-cream fluff around most of its midsection and feet, with a small, round tail. Buneary's body is small and thin, with short arms that end in three-fingered paws. Its yellow-cream colored feet have three toes, and large pink paw pads on the undersides.

Behavior[]

Buneary is extremely wary of its surroundings. When feeling threatened, it will perk up its ears or even uncoiling them to deliver a powerful hit that can reduce boulders into dusts and remnants. Having both of its ears rolled up is a sign of it feeling unwell in terms of its mind or body.

When feeling cold, it tucks itself with its fur to keep itself warm and cozy.

Natural Abilities[]

Buneary can run away very swiftly in a nick of time when facing dangers. It can also use its ears to hit opponents that will make them shriek in agony.

Evolution[]

Buneary evolves into Lopunny when leveled up with high friendship.

Pokédex entries[]

Diamond
It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain.
Pearl
When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur
Platinum
Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
HeartGold
You can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it's scared, both ears are rolled up.
SoulSilver
You can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it's scared, both ears are rolled up.
Black
Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
White
Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
Black 2
By extending its rolled up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself.
White 2
By extending its rolled up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself.
X
Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
Y
When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Omega Ruby
Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
Alpha Sapphire
When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Ultra Sun
Its arms and legs are weak, but when it rolls its ears up tight and then unleashes them with its full force, it can smash boulders to dust.
Ultra Moon
The reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it's attacked by an enemy.
Sword
If both of Buneary's ears are rolled up, something is wrong with its body or mind. It's a sure sign the Pokémon is in need of care.
Shield
Buneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training.
Legends: Arceus
My hypothesis as to why Buneary rolls up its ears is that its hearing is far too keen. I surmise that the Pokémon protects its hearing by limiting the sound that may enter its ears.
