Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Buneary Line’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Buneary almost always keeps one of its ears rolled up. Professor Laventon once theorized that this was to protect its hearing, but in truth, Buneary rolls its ears so it can quickly unfurl them and use them as a weapon. The attack is powerful enough to hurt adults and shatter boulders, and it grows stronger as Buneary trains with it. Buneary can also use this technique to leap great heights by slamming its ears against the ground. By comparison, its arms and legs are rather weak. When Buneary senses danger, it perks up both ears; if it rolls both ears in, this is a sign that it is unwell. On cold nights, Buneary sleeps with its head tucked into its fur. It lives in forests, though it can also be found on icy mountains.

Prior to Generation V, Buneary and its evolved form, Lopunny, were the only known Pokémon that could have Klutz as an Ability.

Lopunny is a timid Pokémon that keeps a constant watch on its surroundings and will wrap its body in its ears or leap away the moment it senses danger. Despite this cautious nature, it is capable of delivering devastating kicks with its lithe legs. Its kicks are said to resemble those of karate masters, allowing it to drive back opponents with ease.

Prior to Generation V, Lopunny and its pre-evolved form, Buneary, were the only known Pokémon that could have Klutz as an Ability.

Lopunny can Mega Evolve into Mega Lopunny.

As Mega Lopunny, its personality shifts dramatically, becoming highly aggressive with fierce fighting instincts. To better suit combat, it sheds the fur on its neck, upper torso, fingers, and legs, creating black patterns on its legs that resemble ripped pantyhose. The tufts of fur above its eyes merge into a single butterfly-shaped crest. The cream fur on its wrists and ankles becomes rounder rather than fluffy. Its ear fur now covers only two segments of each ear in fluffy bands. A full-power whip swing from Mega Lopunny's ears is strong enough to crumple steel plates.

Name Meaning

The name Buneary may be a combination of "bunny" and "ear."

Other

Standard Tactics

  • Buneary: Buneary tucks their ear when sensing danger and proceeds to rush and attack one with their ears if they sense danger.
  • Lopunny: Lopunny dislikes fighting, however, if they sense a threat, they will employ kicks similar to a martial artist. They may also attempt to cloak themselves to hide.
  • Mega Lopunny: Mega Lopunny awakens to its combat instincts, shedding any fur that gets in the way of its attacks. It swings its ears like whips and strikes its enemies with them.

Status Effects

The following is an explanation of the various status effects of Pokémon

Status Effects
Name Effect Apperances
Burned Reduces one's physical attack and takes damage overtime from the burns. Usually caused by Fire type moves and generally lasts indefinitely unless an external item, ability like shed skin, or move like rest is used. In Generation 1, a burned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum health. In Generation 2, a burned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum health. In Generation 8 onward, a burned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum health. Burn status can be caused by the following moves: Beak Blast (if a Pokémon makes contact with the user of the move during the move's charging phase), Blaze Kick, Blazing Torque, Blue Flare, Burning Bulwark (If contact is made with the user of the move), Burning Jealously (If the Pokémon has increased stats during that turn), Ember, Fire Blast, Fire Fang, Fire Punch, Flame Wheel, Flamethrower, Flare Blitz, Fling (if holding a Flame Orb), Heat Wave, Ice Burn, Infernal Parade, Inferno, Matcha Gotcha, Lava Plume, Psycho Shift (If the user of the move is already inflicted with the burn status), Pyro Ball, Sacred Fire, Sandsear Storm, Scald, Scorching Sands, Searing Shot, Secret Power (when used on a volcano), Shadow Fire, Sizzly Slide, Steam Eruption, Tri Attack, and Will-O-Wisp. Most Pokémon Games
Freeze Prevents any action in battle. Usually caused by Ice type moves and generally only lasts for multiple turns, they can be thawed out early if hit by a fire move. The thaw out chance ranges from generation, in Generation 2 the thaw out chance is a 25/256 chance. In Generation 3, the thaw out chance is 20% each turn. In Pokémon Champions, the thaw out chance is 25% each turn. In Generation 1, a frozen Pokémon cannot break out unless hit by a fire-type move that can inflict burn or if an opponent uses the move Haze. Frozen status can be caused by the moves: Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Freezing Glare, Ice Beam, Ice Fang, Ice Punch, Powder Snow, Secret Power (when used in snow or ice weather), Shadow Chill, or Tri Attack. Most Pokémon Games
Frostbite In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the freeze status conditions is replcaaed with frostbite. Frostbite has the Pokémon lose 1/16 of their maximum health every turn and reduces damage dealt by a frostbitten Pokémon's special moves. Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Paralysis Has a chance of preventing any action in battle and lowers speed stat. Usually caused by Electric type skills, it lasts indefinitely without external help, any ability like shed skin, or a move like rest. In later games, attacking a shocked enemy is guaranteed to cause a critical hit. Paralysis in general has a 25% chance of having a Pokémon be unable to attack asides from Pokémon Champions. In Generation 1, paralysis reduces a Pokemon's speed by 75% rounded down due to a stats modification glitch (along with this, using moves like agility would return the dropped speed to normal and double it and the speed drop would stay even after being cured of Paralysis using an item or through Rest). In Generation 2, the irregularities are fixed. In Generations 7 and 8 the paralysis reduces the Pokémon's speed by 50%. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the paralysis is changed to reduce the affected Pokémon's movement speed during battle. In Pokémon Champions, paralyzed Pokémon have a 12.5% chance to be fully paralyzed. The ability to paralyze can be done by the following moves: Body Slam, Bolt Strike, Bounce, Buzzy Buzz, Combat Torque, Dire Claw, Discharge, Dragon Breath, Fling (if holding a Light Ball), Force Palm, Freeze Shock, G-Max Befuddle, G-Max Stun Shock, G-Max Volt Crash, Glare, Lick, Nuzzle, Psycho Shift (if user of the attack is already paralyzed), Secret Power (When used on plain terrain, building floors, link battles, Sky Battles, Distortion World, or Electric Terrain is in effect), Shadow Bolt, Spark, Splishy Splash, Stoked Sparksurfer, Stun Spore, Thunder, Thunder Fang, Thunder Punch, Thunder Shock, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Tri Attack, Volt Tackle, Wildbolt Storm, and Zap Cannon. Most Pokémon Games
Poison Depletes health at the end of each turn, often persisting on the field. In Generation 1 a poisoned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of their maximum health at the end of every turn. A badly poisoned Pokémon still takes 1/16 of their maximum health at first, however the damage increases by 1/16 each time it takes poison damage. In Generation 2, the damage is lowered to 1/8 of its maximum damage and poison damage taken by a badly poisoned Pokémon doesn't interact with other types of recurrent damage. From Generation 1 to 4 all poisoned Pokémon in a trainer's party loses 1 HP for every four steps taken (in FireRed and LeafGreen it's instead every five steps). In Generation 1 to 3, the poison Pokémon will take poison damage until they faint. In Generation 4, a poisoned Pokémon's HP will be brought to 1 and then they will cure themself of poison. In Generation 5 to 8 poisoned Pokémon no longer take poison damage outside of battle. In Legends: Z-A, poisoned Pokémon take damage whil it is outside its Poké Ball. The moves that inflict poison are as follows: Baneful Bunker (If Pokémon makes contact with the user of the move), Barb Barrage, Cross Poison, Dire Claw, Fling (if holding Poison Barb), G-Max Befuddle, G-Max Malodor, G-Max Stun Shock, Gunk Shot, Mortal Spin, Noxious Toruqe, Poison Gas, Poison Jab, Poison Powder, Poison Sting, Poison Tail, Psychco Shift (if the user of the move is poisoned), Secret Power (When used in tall grass), Shell Side Arm, Sludge, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Smog, Toxic Spikes, Toxic Thread, and twineedle. Most Pokémon Games
Confusion Confused Pokémon become indecisive and may either attack a random enemy or attack themself. In Generations 1-6 it was a 50% chance of the Pokémon hurting itself in confusion. In Generation 7 and onwards, it was a 33% chance of the Pokémon hurting itself in confusion. In Legends: Z-A, confusion causes the Pokémon to move sporadically. The following moves cause confusion: Axe Kick, Chatter, Confuse Ray, Confusion, Dizzy Punch, Dynamic Punch, Flatter, G-Max Gold Rush, G-Max Smite, Hurricane, Magical Torque, Psybeam, Rock Climb, Secret Power (only when used on a rocky surface), Shadow Panic, Signal Beam, Strange Steam, Supersonic, Swagger, Sweet Kiss, Teeter Dance, and Water Pulse. Most Pokémon Games
Infatuation Infatuated Pokémon have a chance of not attacking the Pokémon they're infatuated with. There is a 50% chance of the move failing due to infatuation. The following moves cause infatuation: Attract and G-Max Cuddle. Most Pokémon Games
Flinch The Pokémon flinches from an attack, costing them their turn. Only Pokémon with abilites like inner focus will prevent flinching. The following moves cause flinch: Air Slash, Astonish, Bite, Bone Club, Dark Pulse, Double Iron Bash, Dragon Rush, Extrasensory, Fake Out, Fiery Wrath, Fire Fang, Fling (only if King's Rock or or Razor Fang is held), Floaty Fall, Headbutt, Heart Stamp, Hyper Fang, Ice Fang, Icicle Crash, Iron Head, Low Kick, Mountain Gale, Needle Arm, Rock Slide, Rolling Kick, Secret Power (only in caves, rocky terrain, burial grounds, or in space), Sky Attack, Snore (Only if asleep), Steamroller, Stomp, Thunder Fang, Triple Arrows, Twister, Upper Hand, Waterfall, Zen Headbutt, and Zing Zap. Most Pokémon Games
Sleep Prevents any action in battle. The Pokémon is asleep and will normally take some turns to wake up. In Generation 1, sleep lasts for 1-7 turns, with a 1/4 chance to wake up turn 1 and a 1/8 chance to wake up in 2-6 turns. In Generation 2 sleep lasts 2-8 turns, the Pokémon has a 1/4 chance oto wake up in 2 turns or 5 turns and a 1/8 chanc eot wake up in 3 turns, 4 turns, 6 turns, or 7 turns. In Generation 3 sleep lasts 2-5 turns. In Generation 5, sleep now lasts 2-4 turns. In Pokémon Champions, sleep now lasts 2-3 turns. The following moves cause sleep: Dark Void, Dire Claw, G-Max Befuddle, G-Max Snooze, Grass Whistle, Hypnosis, Lovely Kiss, Psycho Shift (if user is asleep), Relic Song, Rest, Secret Power (only in long grass, tall grass, or grassy terrain being in affect), Sing, Sleep Powder, Spore, Wicked Torque, and Yawn. Most Pokémon Games
Drowsy The replacement for the sleep status in the Legends games. It has a chance of the afflicted Pokémon being unable to move along with taking increased damage from attacks. Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Fainted Can no longer participate in battle. In most games, if the all Pokémon faint, the trainer whites out and returns back to their last save with some of their money gone. Can only be recovered with revives, healing at a bed or Pokémon Center, or through specific moves. Most Pokémon Games
Wrap Prevents any action from a unit until the wrap ends. Pokémon Generation 1

Trivia

  • Buneary and its evolved form share their category with Scorbunny and Raboot. They are all known as the Rabbit Pokémon.
  • Buneary is the only Pokémon to learn the move Frustration by leveling up.
    • Its evolved form learns Return at the same level, and it is also the only one to learn it by leveling up.
  • Prior to Generation IX, Buneary was the only Pokémon with 0 base friendship that was not Legendary, a Mythical Pokémon, an Ultra Beast, or a Paradox Pokémon. This is now a trait it shares with Lokix.
  • Buneary, Type: Null, and Snom are the only Pokémon that evolve via friendship with a base friendship lower than 70.
  • In Pokémon Shuffle, Buneary's second main stage, stage 615, has the lowest overall drop rates for personalized Skill Boosters.
  • Buneary appears to be based on a rabbit. The cream-colored fluff on its lower body may be based on a skirt, and the rolled-up ear may resemble a fashionable hat. It may also be based on the story of The Velveteen Rabbit, changing from an unloved rabbit doll into a real, loved creature through maximum bonding, which parallels Buneary's base 0 friendship and access to Frustration, and its evolution into Lopunny, which learns Return.
  • Lopunny and its pre-evolved form share their category with Scorbunny and Raboot. They are all known as the Rabbit Pokémon.
  • Lopunny is the only Pokémon that can learn Return by leveling up.
    • Its pre-evolved form learns Frustration at the same level, and is also the only one to learn it by leveling up.
  • Mega Lopunny has the highest base Speed stat of all Normal-type Pokémon.
  • Lopunny is the only Pokémon that could Mega Evolve in Generation VI that is in neither the Hoenn Pokédex nor the Kalos Pokédex; however, it is in the Lumiose Pokédex.

Origin

  • Lopunny appears to be based on a lop rabbit and a mountain hare. It also resembles a fashion model wearing women's fur or faux fur-cuffed gloves and winter boots, with the brown sections of its upper limbs gradually flaring outward further from the body in a manner similar to the draping of oversized bell-sleeve winter jackets or sweaters.
  • It appears to be based on gyaru subcultures such as hime gyaru, which prominently favored tanned skin tones, light or blonde colored hair, and heavy faux-fur trimmings. The massive cream-colored ears narrow sharply at the base before bursting outward into gravity-defying volume, mimicking the backcombed sujimori hairstyle popular in the subculture. Its blonde eyebrows resemble the bow used for the sujimori hairstyle in hime gyaru subculture. Its body shape, fluffy legs, and limbs that resemble sleeves and fluff trims may also be based on himekaji gyaru, as this substyle prefers skirts, pants, and shorts combined with fluffy boots and fur trims. Its cream-colored legs and brown fur may be based on kogal gyaru and kuro gyaru, subcultures that prefer tans, scrunchies, fur-trimmed footwear, and loose socks. The black markings on its eyes may also be a nod to gyaru makeup or a mountain hare's eye markings. This combination may ultimately allude to the concept of kemonomimi such as rabbit-eared anime characters, as seen in popular culture.
  • Mega Lopunny may be inspired by certain styles of aerobics outfits common in the 1980s, most notably in its fur fluffs that resemble arm warmers, leg warmers, and scrunchies, and its leg fur pattern that resembles leggings. Its behavior may draw direct inspiration from real-world hare "boxing" behavior, a violent combat ritual in which a female hare rises on her hind legs to physically strike, lash out, and fend off unwanted or over-persistent males with her front and hind limbs.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't at least late game Pokémon get Faster Than Light due to being able to dodge solar beam?

A: Solar beam is absorbing light and then shooting out a blast, it is not a light speed attack but an energy blast that absorbs light energy. On top of this, Pokémon cannot dodge this move without lowering the opponents accuracy or raising their own speed. Dazzling Gleam is a flash of light that is also 100% accuracy. Flash which is a literal flash of light is 100% accuracy. So it's clear light speed attacks are generally unmissable unless their accuracy drop or a character ups their speed to make it harder to tag them. Further examples of them not being this speed, Dragonite is pretty consistently stated in its pokedex as an impressive speed feat for it to circle the globe in 16 hours, and Garchomp is treated as impressive for being able to keep up with planes and fly at sonic speeds.

  52. ↑ Pokémon Creators on Platinum Giratina Reverse World "IGN: What was the inspiration for the new concepts in Pokémon Platinum? Do you think the process for coming up with new concepts has changed since the first Pokémon games were developed?
    Junichi Masuda: We created Platinum with a new method of determining the game's direction that was based on the image of one Pokémon - Giratina. When I imagined Giratina, the idea of a "reversed world" came to my mind. I thought of concepts such as "E=mc2" and matter and antimatter. There is no top or bottom, no left or right. We increased the number of developers for Diamond and Pearl, so we wanted to clarify the game concepts for the team before we started the project Its better to hammer out the overall vision of the game first, and then all the team members will work towards that vision by throwing out ideas. The concept of "ultimate" was what we started out with for this title."
