Hi, Bill. I have a question regarding my Lopunny, Chestnut. It seems that the fluff on her ears are tangled. Do you have any solutions?

For tangled lopunny puffs, you’ll need a detangling spray, a pin brush, and a wide-toothed comb. You may also wish to use a dematting comb, but it really depends on your preference and how badly tangled her puffs are.

If her puffs are thoroughly matted, use the detangling spray first and then go through with either the dematting comb or your fingers to untangle as much of the puff by hand. Go easy and take your time; these puffs are very sensitive to a lopunny. If the puffs aren’t too badly tangled, you may wish to simply spray the puffs and use the pin brush and comb instead. Use your best judgment, but either way, finish off with the pin brush, followed by the comb. Also, never pull your lopunny’s fur; instead, hold the fur you wish to work with between two fingers of one hand and use the brushes and comb with your other. This will keep you from accidentally pulling your lopunny’s ears.

Afterwards, give her a treat as always for good behavior. Also, don’t forget to groom your lopunny’s puffs regularly to avoid future tangles and to use a good grooming powder to keep your lopunny’s hair in peak condition.

Note: If the above doesn’t work, also remember that a good pokémon groomer should have plenty of experience with grooming lopunny as well. It may be the pricier option, but it’s a viable one.

Buneary and Lopunny

bills-pokedex:

Buneary
The Rabbit Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 427
Entry: A foot-tall, rabbit-like pokémon native to temperate forests. It’s easy to determine the mood of a buneary by its body language, particularly regarding its ears. If its ears are relaxed and extended (particularly if this is coupled with a “flop,” or an act in which the buneary dramatically flips onto its side), then the buneary feels safe, loved, and relaxed, and it’s fine to engage with it. If, however, the buneary is tense, drawing its entire body up into a ball, and curling its ears, then it feels threatened, and a human should approach with caution. Certainly, it may seem odd that the author would advise caution when approaching anything so small and adorable, but it’s worth it to note that buneary are capable of extending their ears in lightning-fast punches capable of shattering boulders … and that the human nose and jaw are far, far less resilient than a boulder.

Lopunny
The Rabbit Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 428
Entry: The evolved form of buneary, as a result of a heightened sense of happiness. This tall, slender rabbit pokémon has delicate, sensitive ears and long, powerful legs. If one touches their ears, lopunny will lash out with strong kicks. Additionally, these pokémon are cautious to the extreme, and they will often hide behind their long, elegant ears when they sense danger. Between the length of their legs and the sensuous poses they need to strike in order to hide themselves behind their ears, the author would like to take this particular moment to remind his readers that lopunny are rabbit-like pokémon and that if this doesn’t change the thought processes of those of you who know who they are, the author would prefer it if you didn’t tell him.

Mega Lopunny
The Rabbit Pokémon
Type: Normal/Fighting
Official Registration #: 428+
Entry: The advanced form of lopunny, via lopunnite. Mega evolution doesn’t just imbue lopunny with an affinity for the fighting element; it also causes lopunny’s personality to change drastically. Whereas lopunny’s base form tends to be shy and docile unless cornered, mega lopunny is extremely combative and aggressive, known for beating any opponent within reach with either its long, whip-like ears or its equally long, extremely strong legs. There are a number of theories as to why mega evolution causes lopunny’s personality to change in this manner, but frankly, the author is particularly fond of the one that has to do with the entry for its base form listed above.

Hi bill, I need some advice for my lopunny here. See, I just moved back to Alola, and my lopunny can’t take the heat. I’ve tried suggesting we trim excess fur off her ears and cuffs and ankles at a furfrou salon and maybe shape them in cute designs, but she’s TERRIFIED of blades to her sensitive lops (she even attacked the barber). I don’t wanna trade her away or box her, please help a trainer out!

That isn’t so surprising. Lopunny in general are very sensitive about their fur, and if their owners can avoid trimming them, that’s all the better.

Instead, try these steps:

  1. Always supply your lopunny with plenty of fresh, cool water. (You may wish to add ice cubes to her water bottle for added chill.) The more hydrated she is, the easier it will be for her to handle the heat.
  2. On that note, be sure she has plenty of vegetables, not simply kibble. Vegetables can be an added source of liquids, which will help to keep her hydrated.
  3. Allow her to rest indoors as much as possible. When it’s not possible, give her plenty of shade. A shelter lined with cool materials (such as ceramic tiles and frozen water bottles or ice packs) can be sufficient enough at home, while an umbrella may be helpful on the go.
  4. Consider adding a fan to her shelter and running it whenever possible.
  5. Mist her ears, rather than trim them. That is, use a spray bottle to gently moisten her ears. This is important because a lopunny’s ears are vital to maintaining one’s body temperature, so the added moisture to her ears will keep them cool. Be careful not to get any water in her ear canal or on the tufts at the ends of her ears, as this can lead to infection and molding, respectively.
  6. Brush her tufts and ears regularly to remove excess fur without needing to trim. Usually, lopunny can tolerate brushes better than razors, but be gentle either way.

Follow these steps vigorously at first, and your lopunny will find it easier to adjust to life in Alola. Granted, you should follow these steps regardless, but at the very least, making her comfortable by following the above will allow her to nurture a tolerance to heat in as stress-free a manner as possible.

Best of luck, anonymous!
