'''LagomorphShipping''' is the belief in a romantic relationship between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Buneary]]. This is canon on the side of Buneary, whose crush on Pikachu is a running feature in the series; Pikachu has yet to reciprocate.

==Hints==
===Buneary===
[[Image:PikachuBuneary.jpg|thumb|Buneary's really happy now!]]
* In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', Buneary had developed a crush after seeing Pikachu save a potato.
* She'll raise her fur and cover her face whenever she sees Pikachu.
* She once grabbed Pikachu and started dancing with it causing Pikachu to yell and Buneary to cry.
* When {{an|Dawn}} asked Buneary if she wants to come along with them [[Brock]] says "You can spend time with Pikachu" then [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] says "looks like she'll like that".
* In the episode ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' after Pikachu, [[Dawn's Aipom|Aipom]], and [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]] finished practicing, Buneary hopped over and started petting Pikachu.
* In the episode ''[[DP018|O'er The Rampardos We Watched]]'' after Pikachu beat [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}}, Buneary looked over at it with affection.
* In ''[[DP027|Settling A Not-So-Old Score]]'', the pair are seen together cheering for Dawn at the contest in Floaroma Town.
* In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', when Pikachu grabbed the ring that Piplup missed in a game of ring toss, it was able to rebound the ring on to the 100 points, after which Buneary happily showered it with adoration or as mentioned above, "goes gaga for it".
* In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up-Sit-Down!]]'', Ash and Dawn have a [[double battle]] in {{pkmn|contest}} style, with Pikachu and Aipom versus [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]] and Buneary. However, Buneary's first instinct is to flirt with Pikachu, striking a pose and winking at it, until Dawn stated "This is an appeal battle, not a date"
* In [[DP046|''A Maze-ing Race'']], Buneary was walking away from [[Brock's Happiny|Happiny]] to try to go through the maze by herself. Pikachu ran up to her and grabbed her hand to try to get her to stop. This made Buneary really happy.
* In the beginning of [[DP055]], Buneary was massaging Pikachu's stomach after it and Ash became bloated from over-eating.
* Almost every time Buneary sees Pikachu, she has hearts for her eyes.

===Pikachu===
* When it yelled at Buneary for grabbing and dancing with it she started to cry. It then attempted to comfort her.
* It gave itself up to [[Team Rocket]] after failing to save Buneary. It then helped her to escape after.
* In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', the pair are seen together cheering for Dawn at the contest in Floaroma Town.

==Trivia==
*In the games, {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Pikachu}} are both in the {{egg|Ground}} [[egg group]], and therefore can [[breed]].
*Some supporters of this shipping use it as a evidence of {{s|PearlShipping}} ([[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and {{an|Dawn}}); Professor Oak once stated that the feelings of a trainer are reflected by their Pokémon. As such, if two Pokémon fall in love the trainers will too. However, if Dawn has a crush on Ash, she is to date being a lot more subtle about it than Buneary is about her feelings for Pikachu.
*The name of this ship originates from Lagomorpha, the order rabbits(like Buneary) belong to.
