PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Normal Attacker:Pound Swift

As a weak Normal-type Pokémon that gets zero super-effective coverage, Buneary is totally unviable in the PvE scene. 😅

⚔️ Raids

Cute little bunnies aren't meant to fight large monsters, hehe. 🐰

🛡️ Gyms

Can't defend. Dead meat. 🍖

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Quick Attack Swift Fire Punch

🧸 Little Cup

While the limitations of the Normal type hold it back to an extent, Buneary isn’t bad per se! 😮
The STAB-powered Quick Attack paired with the buffed Fire Punch and Swift demands shield usage and helps Buneary overcome Seel, Greavard, Wooper, Bulbasaur, and Drifloon, among other Pokémon. Not bad, eh?! 😄

🔵 Great League

While Buneary has some heroics in the Little Cup, the Great League is too much to handle for little Buneary. 🥺

🟡 Ultra League

Oh no, please don’t! 😳

🟣 Master League

Nooooooo!!!! 😭

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Buneary, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

HeartGold, SoulSilver	You can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it’s scared, both ears are rolled up.
Black 2, White 2	By extending its rolled-up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself.
X, Omega Ruby	Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
Y, Alpha Sapphire	When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Ultra Sun	Its arms and legs are weak, but when it rolls its ears up tight and then unleashes them with its full force, it can smash boulders to dust.
Ultra Moon	The reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it’s attacked by an enemy.
Sword	If both of Buneary’s ears are rolled up, something is wrong with its body or mind. It’s a sure sign the Pokémon is in need of care.
Shield	Buneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training.
Legends: Arceus	My hypothesis as to why Buneary rolls up its ears is that its hearing is far too keen. I surmise that the Pokémon protects its hearing by limiting the sound that may enter its ears.
