Lopunny (Japanese: ミミロップ Mimilop) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Buneary when leveled up with high friendship.
Biology
Physiology
Lopunny are bipedal Pokémon that are based on real-life rabbits. They stand at approximately three to four feet tall, with a dark brown pelt, long, warm ears and round tails. They also have a fluffy, cream pelt that is found on the ends of their ears, legs and arms, as well as distinctive large 'eyebrows'. Lopunny have black pupils with red irises, with small pink noses and inner ears. Despite Lopunny's feminine appearance, they have a 1:1 gender ratio.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Lopunny is also the only Pokémon to learn the move Return by leveling up; this is likely related to the fact that it evolves by friendship. It also learns a few Psychic-type moves such as Mirror Coat and Healing Wish by leveling up. Being Normal-type Pokémon, Lopunny are able to learn a variety of TM moves across many different types, enabling a flexible moveset.
Behavior
These Pokémon are normally very cautious and timid. It cloaks its body with its fluffy ear fur when it senses danger, and, being very conscious of its looks, never fails to groom its ears. It runs with sprightly jumps and sheds its fur twice a year, the reason why its winter fur is soft and fluffy. It is often found in small huddles with other Lopunny and sometimes squabbling over trivial things. Its young, Buneary, often decides to run and hide in its mother's fur.
Habitat
They seem to prefer forests and grasslands, though it can also be found on icy mountains.

Trivia
- Lopunny is the only Pokémon that can learn Return by leveling up.
- Its pre-evolution learns Frustration at the same level, and is also the only one to learn it by leveling up.
Origin
Lopunny appears to be a caricature of a Playboy Bunny or other bunny girls as seen in popular culture. The bunny girl costumes of Playboy fame are still quite popular in Japanese adult media, which might explain Lopunny's coquettish cry and girlish figure. It is also likely based on the lop rabbit, or more specifically the Holland Lop. It is designed after a woman, possibly a fashion model, wearing womens' fur or faux fur-cuffed gloves and boots.
Name origin
Lopunny is a combination of lop (a breed of rabbit with ears that flop over rather than stand erect) and bunny.
Mimilop is a combination of 耳 mimi (ear) and lop.
