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, though Pikachu is yet to return the favor.

Hints

Buneary

• She'll raise her fur and cover her face whenever she sees Pikachu.
• She once grabbed Pikachu and started dancing with him causing Pikachu to yell and Buneary to cry.
• When Dawn asked Buneary if she wants to come along with them Brock says "You can spend time with Pikachu" then Ash says "looks like she'll like that".
• In the episode Wild in the Streets! after Pikachu, Aipom, and Turtwig finished practicing Buneary hopped over and started petting Pikachu.
• In the episode O'er The Rampardos We Watched after Pikachu beat Roark's Onix, Buneary looked over at him with affection.
• In DP041, Ash and Dawn have a double battle in contest style, with Pikachu and Aipom verus Buizel and Buneary. However, Buneary's first instinct is to flirt with Pikachu, striking a pose and winking at him. Pikachu seems bothered by this, and at Dawn's insistance, Buneary starts taking the battle seriously.
• In DP039, when Pikachu grabbed the ring that Piplup missed in a game of ring toss, he was able to rebound it on to the 100 points, after which Buneary happily showered him with adoration or as mentioned above; "goes gaga for him".

Pikachu

• When he yelled at Buneary for grabbing and dancing with him she started to cry. He then attempted to comfort her.
• He gave himself up to Team Rocket after failing to save Buneary. He then helped her to escape after.

Trivia

Buneary and Pikachu are in the same egg group and can breed.
