| '''LagomorphShipping''' is the belief in a romantic relationship between [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Buneary]]. The name originates from {{wp|Lagomorpha}}, the order that rabbits and pikas, Buneary and Pikachu's real-world counterparts, belong to. This is one-sided canon on Buneary's side, whose crush on Pikachu is a running feature in the series; Pikachu has yet to reciprocate.

| |
| * ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''
| |
| : Buneary developes a crush after seeing Pikachu save a potato. Then, when {{an|Dawn}} asks Buneary if she wants to come along with them, [[Brock]] says, "You can spend time with Pikachu." {{Ash}} finishes with saying says, "Looks like she'll like that."
| |

| |
| : Ash and Dawn have a [[double battle]] in {{pkmn|Contest}} style, with Pikachu and Aipom versus {{AP|Buizel}} and Buneary. However, Buneary's first instinct is to flirt with Pikachu, striking a pose and winking at it, until Dawn states, "This is an appeal battle, not a date."
| |
| * [[DP046|''A Maze-ing Race'']]
| |
| : Buneary is walking away from {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} to try to go through the maze by herself. Pikachu runs up to her and grabs her hand to try to get her to stop. This makes Buneary really happy and the three proceed to walk together, all the while the two hold hands together and Happiny being piggy-backed by Pikachu with Buneary comforting Happinny while she is being lulled to sleep, giving them the impression of being a small family.

| |
| * ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle]]''

| |

| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the games, {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Pikachu}} are both in the {{egg|Ground}} [[egg group]], and therefore can [[breed]].
| |
| *Under the rules of [[egg moves]], the offspring of such a pairing would be {{p|Buneary}} that know {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, as these are moves {{p|Pikachu}} knows that {{p|Buneary}} can learn via [[TM]]. They would also know the moves {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Agility}} if [[Dawn's Buneary]] knew them, though she has not yet demonstrated this knowledge.
| |
| *Many supporters of this shipping use it as a evidence of {{s|PearlShipping}} ({{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}), in a similar fashion to how people use {{s|VineShipping}} as evidence of {{s|AdvanceShipping}}; Professor Oak once stated that the feelings of a trainer are reflected by their Pokémon. As such, if two Pokémon fall in love, the trainers will too. However, if Dawn has a crush on Ash, she is to date being a lot more subtle about it than Buneary is about her feelings for Pikachu. Some will also point out that Buneary had a crush on Pikachu before Dawn caught her.
| |
| *Both have defeated a [[Legendary Pokémon]] before. Pikachu defeated [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace — The Final Frontier!]]'' and Buneary defeated a wild {{p|Phione}} in [[DP113]].
