Buneary (Japanese: ミミロル Mimirol) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Lopunny when leveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Buneary is a small, bipedal, rabbit-like Pokémon with brown ears that can curl up. It has two types of fur covering its body: a light tan fleece that covers much of its lower body, feet, and the tips of its ears, and a smooth, chocolate-colored pelt on the upper half of its body. It has a small, triangular pink nose, pink paw pads on the undersides of its feet, and small tan spots above its eyes. It has a small brown puff of a tail.

Buneary almost always keeps one of its ears rolled up. Although Professor Laventon had hypothesized that this is done to protect its hearing, in actuality, Buneary rolls its ears so it can quickly unroll them and launch them as an attack. The attack is strong enough to hurt grown-ups and crush boulders and increases in power as Buneary trains to use it. Buneary can also use this technique to jump really high, by slamming its ears towards the ground. Buneary's arms and legs are weaker by comparison. If Buneary senses danger, it perks up both ears; conversely, if Buneary rolls both of its ears in, it is a sign that it is unhealthy. On cold nights, Buneary sleeps with its head tucked into its fur. It lives in forests, though it can also be found on icy mountains.

Prior to Generation V, Buneary and its evolved form, Lopunny, were the only known Pokémon that could have Klutz as an Ability.

Evolution

Buneary evolves into Lopunny.

Diamond It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain.
Pearl When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.

This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Sun, Moon, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
Ultra Sun Its arms and legs are weak, but when it rolls its ears up tight and then unleashes them with its full force, it can smash boulders to dust.
Ultra Moon The reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it's attacked by an enemy.

Sword If both of Buneary's ears are rolled up, something is wrong with its body or mind. It's a sure sign the Pokémon is in need of care.
Shield Buneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training.
Brilliant Diamond It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain.
Shining Pearl When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Legends: Arceus My hypothesis as to why Buneary rolls up its ears is that its hearing is far too keen. I surmise that the Pokémon protects its hearing by limiting the sound that may enter its ears.

"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.

When it levels up, it evolves into Lopunny."

Origin

Mimirol may be a combination of 耳 mimi (ear) and roll (referring to its rolled-up ears).
