Trivia

• Buneary is, to date, the only Pokémon to learn the move Frustration by leveling up.
  • Its evolution learns Return at the same level, and is also the only one to learn it by leveling up.
• Buneary is the only Pokémon able to learn Attract through breeding.
• Buneary is popular as a breeding Pokémon because it can be used to breed certain Ground Group Pokémon with ThunderPunch, Fire Punch, and Ice Punch, which are normally used by Pokémon in the Humanshape Egg Group.
• Buneary is the only Pokémon introduced in the same generation as its evolution that evolves by happiness and can breed (Togepi and Riolu, while introduced in the same generation as their evolutions, act as baby Pokémon).

Origin

Buneary is based on a rabbit. Based on its toy-like appearance and the fact that it evolves through happiness, it may be based on the Velveteen Rabbit, a toy rabbit who becomes real after it is truly loved by its owner.

Name origin

Its English name is a combination of bunny and ear. Its Japanese name is a combination of 耳 mimi, ear, and roll, referring to its rolled up ears.

• German: Haspiror - From Hase (hare) and Ohr (ear).
• French: Laporeille - From lapin (bunny) and oreille (ear).
