Bunnelby (Japanese: ホルビー, Hepburn: Horubii) (BUN-ell-bee[1]) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Bunnelby is a small, gray, rabbit-like Pokémon. It has large, gray, brown-tipped ears with pinkish fur on the inside. It has a large, gray head and large eyes with white sclera and black pupils. It has a small pink nose and gray fur that sticks out on the cheeks, along with large white teeth. Its neck is surrounded by brown fur. It has a gray body with a gray tail and small brown spots on its hind legs. Its front paws are completely gray, while its hind paws are gray with brown toes.
Behavior[]
Bunnelby are energetic and industrious Pokémon. They use their large ears to dig burrows, shovel dirt, and chop trees. They will dig the whole night through. They will sometimes dig superfluous tunnels around their burrows as practice to strengthen their ears. These destination-less tunnels also serve to confuse predators that enter their burrows.
Particularly hardworking Bunnelby have been known to develop ears strong enough to pulverize stone. Bunnelby primarily feed on the roots of plants that they come across while digging; they will even eat through the hardier roots of trees, using their ears to break the tough roots up into more manageable pieces. Bunnelby also have very sensitive hearing, allowing them to detect predators like Talonflame and Corviknight approaching. As skittish Pokémon, they will quickly duck into their burrows at the first sign of danger.
Habitat[]
Bunnelby lives in forests, fields, mountains, and rocky areas.
Evolution[]
Bunnelby evolves into Diggersby at level 20.
