Clemont's Diggersby: Difference between revisions

   

Bunnelby was first mentioned by Clemont in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where he was said to be his most recent capture after Clemont and Bonnie were kicked out of the [[Lumiose Gym]] after it was taken over by Clemont's robotic stand-in [[Clembot]]. He was then used by Clemont to {{pkmn|battle}} [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The battle started off with Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which was blocked by Bunnelby who used his ears to create a mud shield. Bunnelby then used Dig and managed to hit Pikachu, despite the latter trying to confuse Bunnelby with his speedy movements. Pikachu then scored a direct hit with {{m|Quick Attack}}. Bunnelby, however, quickly recovered and retaliated with {{m|Double Slap}}, hitting Pikachu several times before knocking him back. Pikachu then used {{m|Iron Tail}} which Bunnelby easily caught with its ears. Now, however, he was unable to use his ears, giving Pikachu the opportunity to hit the Digging Pokémon with {{m|Electro Ball}}. The battle was then interrupted by {{TRT}}, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu for their plans. Bunnelby teamed up with Pikachu to try and stop the villains, but [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] deflected Pikachu's attack and almost injured him. After Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, Bunnelby sent the trio into the air with Dig, allowing Pikachu and Froakie to blast them off.

Bunnelby was used in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'' to battle [[Clemont's Heliolisk]], which was being used by Clembot. Just as Clemont predicted, Heliolisk started off with a Thunderbolt and, like in his battle with {{Ash}}, he had Bunnelby create a mud shield with his ears to block the attack. Bunnelby was then able to block a {{m|Dragon Tail}} and after that hit Heliolisk with Double Slap. He then went for Dig, but much to Clemont's surprise, Heliolisk countered with {{m|Bulldoze}}. This forced Bunnelby out of the ground and was then hit by a Dragon Tail. Bunnelby then tried to confuse Heliolisk with Double Team and as he was about to launch a Mud Shot, Heliolisk countered with {{m|Parabolic Charge}}, dealing much damage to Bunnelby as well as healing some of its health. Clemont then had Bunnelby use Dig. As Heliolisk went for another Bulldoze, Bunnelby jumped out of the hole using Double Team, circling around Heliolisk. It was again able to wipe out Bunnelby's copies, but the real Bunnelby was still underground. This gave him the opportunity to strike Heliolisk from beneath using Dig and knocked the Generator Pokémon out with Mud Shot.

In ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', Bunnelby was used in a [[Double Battle]] with {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} against Ash's Froakie and {{AP|Hawlucha}}. Bunnelby managed to hit Hawlucha several times with Double Slap, before getting knocked back by his {{m|Karate Chop}}. He then hit Hawlucha again with Double Slap and was about to finish it off with Mud Shot, only to get hit by Froakie's {{m|Water Pulse}}. Froakie then used its speed to trick Chespin's {{m|Pin Missile}} into hitting Bunnelby, knocking him out. Later, he wanted to eat some of {{an|Serena}}'s [[Poké Puff]]s, only for Chespin to have already eaten them.

==Personality and characteristics==

Bunnelby is a kind Pokémon and shares a lot of traits with his Trainer, such as when he got nervous of being on camera in ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]''. He has been seen to be altruistic when helping to clean up after dinner and helping the other Pokémon to protect Ash from {{TRT}}'s attacks in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' respectively.
