Strategy Overview

Buneary has access to many useful support moves such as Heal Bell, Healing Wish, Switcheroo, Encore, and Magic Coat, all of which it can use effectively with its 19 Speed. It also has a decent Attack stat along with access to a wide range of attacking options, including Fake Out, Return, Drain Punch, and the elemental punches. Buneary also has an interesting ability in Klutz, which when used with Switcheroo allows Buneary to cripple walls by tricking a Choice item or a status orb onto them. However, Buneary's average defenses, no resistances, weakness to the common Fighting-type, and susceptibility to faster Pokemon and priority users hinder its longevity. It also faces difficulty taking on bulkier Pokemon if it is not running a Switcheroo set. However, Buneary is still quite capable, and its ability to run multiple sets can make it difficult to play around.
