Research Notes - Bunnelby
Lepus structor
Diggersby are very closely related to Lopunny. Both Pokémon possess powerful, maneuverable ears that they use to defend themselves from attackers. However, while Lopunny also sport strong legs and utilize their agility to escape from danger, Diggersby instead have further developed their ears to become totally prehensile, even replacing their actual arms in many situations; they also burrow rather than leap away from threats. Diggersby also seem to be adapted to more rugged, rocky terrains, especially in temperate areas (Lopunny are more adapted to snowy weather thanks to their warm fur).
Diet |
Both Bunnelby and Diggersby are herbivorous. They eat the roots of plants and trees that they come across underground as they burrow through the dirt. Above the surface, they can also be seen grazing on grasses and low-growing plants.

Care |
Bunnelby like being underground; they quickly become anxious when kept indoors on concrete or other surfaces where it is difficult to burrow. They also like to keep occupied and dislike doing nothing for extended periods of time. Diggersby are more laidback when it comes to work, but they do like to work on building projects and do so industriously. They will get angry when disturbed while on breaks, however.

Caution |
Although Bunnelby may seem weak and unassuming, they can use their powerful ears to strike threats with hard blows before digging beneath the soil. They are quick to flee, but luckily will only attack if they feel they cannot burrow away before the danger comes too near. Diggersby are less skittish than their pre-evolutions, but can similarly use their powerful ears to attack those that anger them.
