Trivia

• In each region, there is a two-stage Normal-type Pokémon encountered early in the region. Bunnelby is the Kalos variation on this theme, while Rattata, Sentret, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, and Patrat are those of other regions.
  • Bunnelby and Bidoof are the only ones so far out of all two-stage early Normal-types to gain a type in evolution.

Origin

Bunnelby is based on a rabbit as well as rabbit burrows, its brown fur meant to represent the overturned earth at burrow entrances. Its ability to use its ears as digging tools to excavate through earth and roots may be a reference to trowels or shovels.

Name origin

Bunnelby may be a combination of bunny and tunnel.

Horubee may be based on 掘る horu (to dig) or hole.
