The world of Pokemon is full of truly amazing creatures. Most of them look like some kind of animal and are, in a way, fictional representations of real-life animals. Still, there are some Pokemon that embody some abstract concepts or everyday objects. In this article, we have decided to focus on the group of rabbit- and bunny-like Pokemon that have appeared in the franchise.
There is a total of eight Pokemon that fit this criteria and we have decided to rank them based on their overall reputation in the series. This doesn’t necessarily have to do anything with their powers, but with their overall role in the world of Pokemon. We are going to tell you some additional details about each of them so hold on to your Pikachu tails and get ready for our list.

8. Bunnelby
Bunnelby is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation VI, occupying #659 in the PokéDex. Bunnelby is, interestingly enough, not categorized as a Rabbit Pokemon but rather as a Digging Pokemon due to its long and powerful ears which he uses for digging.
The thing with Bunnelby is that he is essentially good for digging and nothing more. He is not a particularly strong Pokemon nor is he usable in contests. He does evolve into Diggersby later on, which is a good thing, since Diggersby is much more powerful and practical. It does lose a lot in the cuteness category, though.
7. Buneary
Buneary is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation IV. It occupies #427 in the National PokéDex. Buneary was the first pure Rabbit Pokémon introduced to the franchise and remains the most rabbit-like Pokemon in the whole franchise.
Buneary is a cute Pokemon. It evolves into the more dangerous Lopunny with a high enough level of Friendship between it and its trainer. It is often used in contests and is generally considered to be among the cuter Pokemon in the whole franchise.
6. Diggersby
Diggersby is a dual Normal/Ground-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation VI. Diggersby is, like its pre-evolution Bunnelby, a digging Pokemon and not a Rabbit Pokemon, although it actually looks like a big fat fabbit. Its ears are bigger and stronger and they look a bit like hands, which is way more practical for digging.
Diggersby expands the type of this evolution line, as it is actually a dual type. Since it is a Digging Pokemon, it actually makes sense that it becomes a Ground-type Pokemon as well. The only question is why this one isn’t described as a Rabbit Pokemon, since it is undoubtedly a rabbit-like creature. But, we’ve had weirder decisions in the past.
5. Scorbunny
Scorbunny is a Fire-type Pokémon that debuted in Generation VIII as the Fire-type starter Pokémon of that Generation. Scorbunny is a member of a long line of Fire-type Starter Pokemon and it actually is one of the best in terms of design, but also the potential it has in terms of evolutions.
Scorbunny is also quite adorable and can be used in contests, similar to Torchic from Generation III. It is also quite powerful and can be used in a variety of ways in the Generation VIII games in Pokémon world, which is why we have placed it on this position. Scorbunny further evolves into Raboot and finally into Cinderace. \
4. Lopunny
Lupunny is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, as the evolution of Buneary. Lopunny is also very rabbit-like, but the Pokemon itself is more of an anthropomorphic rabbit than an actual one. It evolves from Buneary with a high-enough level of Friendship. With the help of the Lopunnite, it can evolve into Mega Lopunny.
Lopunny looks like a fighting rabbit and seems quite dangerous, although it is actually not. It is great in using martial arts, which makes it exceptionally useful in a variety of situations. It is considered to be one of the more beautiful Pokemon in the whole franchise.
3. Raboot
Raboot is a Fire-type Pokémon that had its debut in Generation VIII of the video games. This Rabbit Pokémon is actually the first evolution of Scorbunny, one of the three Generation VIII starter Pokémon, as we have already said earlier on this list. Raboot is a bit broodier and moodier than the adorable Scorbunny and can be compared to Charmeleon in relation to Charmander.
Raboot is a powerful Pokemon that combines speed with strength. In a comparative sense, it is one of the better Starter evolutions you can have, even among the generally powerful Fire-type Pokemon. Raboot is a good pick if you want to go with a Fire-type Starter, but he can get moody from time to time, so be wary of that. Raboot further evolves into Cinderace.
2. Azumarill
Azumarill is a dual Water/Fairy-type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation II. It was initially just a Water-type Pokémon, but when the Fairy type was introduced, its initial Type was edited. Azumarill is the second and final evolution of the baby Pokemon Azurill and it evolves from Marill.
Azumarill is a large blue-white cross between a mouse and a rabbit. It has an egg-shaped body and its face looks more like that of a mouse, but the long ears resemble those of a rabbit. It is known for its extremely high defensive stats.
1. Cinderace
Cinderace is a pure Fire-type Pokémon that was first introduced in Generation VIII and is the final evolution form of Scorbunny, the Fire-type starter Pokémon from Generation VIII we have already talked about. Cinderace evolves from Raboot.
The thing with Cinderace is that it is not just cool-looking, it is extremely practical to use. It has very high Attack stats and is one of the more powerful Fire-type Pokemon you can have in the games. It is also quite fast and it will be a very loyal member of your team. It can do damage against some powerful Pokemon types, and is truly a useful member of your team, whatever your ultimate goal is
