Bunnelby

Bunnelby is a Normal-type Digging Pokémon resembling a brown rabbit, introduced in Generation VI. It uses its large ears like shovels, capable of digging burrows roughly a meter deep in a single night, and is strong enough to wield its ears against larger foes. Highly skittish and sensitive to danger, it quickly tunnels underground to hide at the first sign of a threat, such as the approach of a predator. It evolves into Diggersby, gaining even greater digging power.

The Japanese name ホルビー (Horubī) combines 掘る (horu, meaning 'to dig') with a sound evoking a rabbit—often linked to a softened version of an English-style 'bunny' element, fitting its digging-rabbit theme. The English name 'Bunnelby' blends 'bunny' with 'delve' or 'shovel,' nodding to both its rabbit nature and its burrowing habits. Both names emphasize the same two ideas: a rabbit that digs.
