Summary

Combee is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Type: Bug/Flying

Abilities:

  • Honey Gather: Has a chance to collect Honey after battle if it is not holding an item.
  • Hustle (Hidden Ability): Boosts the Attack stat, but lowers the accuracy of physical moves.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Combee is a small Pokémon resembling a bee made up of three hexagonal sections, each with its own face.
  • It is primarily yellow with black stripes and features two wings on its back.
  • The three faces appear to be connected, giving the impression of a honeycomb.
  • The top face has a small crown-shaped marking, which distinguishes female Combee.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Combee typically lives in fields and forests near large trees or flowers where they can gather nectar.
  • They are social creatures that work in groups to collect honey and protect their hive.
  • Combee are known to form swarms that move collectively to fend off threats or to relocate their nest.
  • They communicate with each other through buzzing sounds and pheromones.

In Battle:

  • Combee is not often used for direct battles due to its relatively low stats.
  • It is more effective in supportive roles, thanks to moves like Sweet Scent, which lowers opposing Pokémon's evasiveness.
  • Combee can use moves like Gust and Bug Buzz, but its low stats make it a less viable choice for competitive battles.
  • Being a Bug/Flying-type, it is strong against Grass and Fighting types but weak against Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Rock types.

Evolution:

  • Female Combee evolves into Vespiquen starting at level 21.
  • Male Combee do not evolve, which can make finding a female Combee desirable for trainers seeking to evolve it.

Interesting Facts:

  • Combee's design is inspired by the concept of a worker bee and a honeycomb structure.
  • Despite its name and appearance, Combee cannot learn the move "Honey Gather" through leveling up, but it has the ability of the same name.
  • Combee's gender ratio is heavily skewed, with only about 12.5% being female, making Vespiquen a rarer Pokémon.
  • In the Pokémon games, Combee can appear in honey trees, a unique mechanic introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
