Buneary PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

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

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

🛡️ Gyms

Can't defend. Dead meat. 🍖

Buneary PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 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!!!! 😭

Buneary Pokédex entries

VersionsPokédex entry
DiamondIt slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain.
PearlWhen it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Platinum, Black, WhiteIts ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder.
HeartGold, SoulSilverYou can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it’s scared, both ears are rolled up.
Black 2, White 2By extending its rolled-up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself.

Y, Alpha SapphireWhen it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur.
Ultra SunIts 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 MoonThe reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it’s attacked by an enemy.
SwordIf 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.
ShieldBuneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training.
Legends: ArceusMy 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.
