List of Rabbit Pokémon

Rabbits seemed like a reasonable next step to make a list of. Interestingly, there were very few rabbits that looked like rabbits in the early years of Pokémon? Azumarill is such a weirdo, evolving from a mouse, and then the first true fully-bunny line was in Gen 4 with Buneary.

Nidoran F, Nidorina, & Nidoqueen Nidoran M, Nidorino, & Nidoking Igglybuff, Jigglypuff & Wigglytuff
Eeveelutions Azumarill Plusle & Minun
Spinda Buneary & Lopunny Audino
Bunnelby & Diggersby Magearna Scorbunny, Raboot & Cinderace

So, yeah, the Nido lines are kaiju! But there's an old Aqua Bunny post I remember fascinating me when I was younger that argues that they're rabbits. So since then, they've been rabbit kaiju to me.

The Jigglypuff line are little pink beasts, but if they're any animal, they're rabbits, which is especially noticeable with Wigglytuff's ears. Bulbapedia backs me up by mentioning that they evolve via Moon Stone, implying that they could've been based on the legend of the Moon Rabbit.

Okay, this is the most ridiculous one, in my opinion. They're foxes to me, they are not bunnies, but this is still something I see around from time to time.

Well, Plusle and Minun are definitely rodents! Maybe not rabbits specifically, but that's what they make me think of.

Spinda's primarily a panda, but it has traits of rabbits (see: longer ears).
