Trivia

• Lopunny is, so far, the only Pokémon that can learn Return by leveling up.
  • Its pre-evolution learns Frustration at the same level, and is also the only one to learn it by leveling up.
• Contrary to popular belief, Lopunny does not have black scleras. They are instead black markings, which is evident in its 3D model. Although, it does not seem true in the anime.
• Lopunny's special ability Klutz allows it to make use of moves like Trick and Switcheroo more easily, yet it doesn't learn Trick at all and can only learn Switcheroo from breeding.

Origin

Lopunny appears to be a caricature of a Playboy Bunny or other bunny girls as seen in popular culture. The bunny girl costumes of Playboy fame are still quite popular in Japanese adult media, which might explain the Lopunny's coquettish cry and girlish figure. It is also likely based on the lop rabbit, or more specifically the Holland Lop.

Name origin

Lopunny is a combination of lop and bunny. Its Japanese name Mimilop is a combination of 耳 (mimi) meaning "ear" and "lop", which is a type of rabbit with ears that flop over rather than standing erect.

In other languages

• German: Schlapor: wordplay on "Schlappohr" (colloquial term for "bunny" hinting at hanging ears)
• French: Lockpin
• Korean: 이어롭 Earlop - From English ear and lop.
• Chinese: 垂耳兔 Sui Er Tu
