Buneary (Japanese: ミミロル Mimirol) is a Normal-type Pokémon. It evolves into Lopunny when leveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Physiology

Buneary are small furry mammalian Pokémon with long ears with pink ear insides. They have two types of fur covering their bodies: a light tan fleece that covers much of their lower body, feet and the tips of their ears, and a smooth chocolate colored pelt on the upper half of their body. Buneary has a small, triangular pink nose, pink paw pads on the undersides of their feet and small tan spots above their eyes. Buneary has a small brown puff of a tail, and most artwork depicts Buneary’s right ear standing erect while the left is flopped over.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Buneary are able to deliver powerful blows with their curled up ears. They also have impressive jumping ability.

When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.

Habitat

Buneary live in forests, though it can also be found on icy mountains.

Trophy Information

"A Rabbit Pokémon. It rolls up its long ears, then unrolls them with great force to slap enemies. This attack stings enough to make adults jump. It uses its ears not only to attack, but also to sense danger--they stand straight up when it senses a threat. Its fluffy fur lets it sleep in warmth and comfort on cold nights. When it levels up, it evolves into Lopunny."
