Pokédex entries
| Diamond | It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain. | 
|---|---|
| Pearl | When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur. | 
| Platinum | Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder. | 
| HeartGold SoulSilver | You can tell how it feels by the way it rolls its ears. When it’s scared, both ears are rolled up. | 
| Black White | Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder. | 
| Black 2 White 2 | By extending its rolled-up ears and striking the ground, it can bound so high it surprises itself. | 
| X Omega Ruby | Its ears are always rolled up. They can be forcefully extended to shatter even a large boulder. | 
| Y Alpha Sapphire | When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur. | 
| Ultra Sun | Its arms and legs are weak, but when it rolls its ears up tight and then unleashes them with its full force, it can smash boulders to dust. | 
| Ultra Moon | The reason it keeps one ear rolled up is so it can launch a swift counterattack if it’s attacked by an enemy. | 
| Sword | If both of Buneary’s ears are rolled up, something is wrong with its body or mind. It’s a sure sign the Pokémon is in need of care. | 
| Shield | Buneary can attack by rolling up their ears and then striking with the force created by unrolling them. This attack becomes stronger with training. | 
| Brilliant Diamond | It slams foes by sharply uncoiling its rolled ears. It stings enough to make a grown-up cry in pain. | 
| Shining Pearl | When it senses danger, it perks up its ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with its head tucked into its fur. | 
| Legends: Arceus | My hypothesis as to why Buneary rolls up its ears is that its hearing is far too keen. I surmise that the Pokémon protects its hearing by limiting the sound that may enter its ears. |
