Scorbunny (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Scorbunny may be based on a white {{wp|rabbit}}. The yellow mark over its nose is inspired by a Japanese character design trope, in which a character has a bandage over their nose to show their rambunctious personality.<ref>Hanson, Ben (October 8, 2019).

''Game Informer''.</ref> Its Fire type may take inspiration from the relatively high body temperature of rabbits, which range from 100-103 °F (37-39 °C); or to tale 316 of the {{wp|Jataka tales}}, in which a rabbit jumped into a fire as an offering, but was not burnt by the flames. The belief that its soles can bring good luck, as noted in the anime, is likely inspired by the real-life belief that wearing a {{wp|rabbit's foot}} as an amulet may bring good luck.
