Lopunny is, so far, the only Pokémon that can learn Return by leveling up.
Although its distinct feminine appearance and nature suggest that Lopunny is gender-exclusive, male Lopunny are just as common as females. It shares this characteristic with Kirlia/Gardevoir, Milotic, Gorebyss, and the Misdreavus line.
Contrary to popular belief, Lopunny does not have black scleras. They are instead black markings, which is evident in its 3D model.
Lopunny's alternate coloring resembles that of Sakura blossoms.
Origin
Lopunny appears to be a caricature of a Playboy Bunny or other bunny girls as seen in popular culture. The bunny girl costumes of Playboy fame are still quite popular in Japanese adult media, which might explain the Lopunny's coquettish cry and girlish figure. It is also likely based on the lop rabbit, or more specifically the Holland Lop.
Name origin
Lopunny is a combination of lop and bunny. Its Japanese name Mimilop is a combination of 耳 (mimi) meaning "ear" and "lop", which is a type of rabbit with ears that flop over rather than standing erect.
