Pokémon Go Combee evolution, explained

Combee evolves with 50 Candies, and it must be female. Unfortunately, the males got the short end of the stick. They’ll appear similar to female Combees, but the only difference is that they don’t have a red triangle on their design.

When Combee evolves, it transforms into the unique Bug and Flying Type, Vespiquen. This evolution boasts impressive defensive stats, making it a formidable contender in Pokémon Go’s various leagues. However, remember, you’ll need to start with a female Combee to obtain this buzzing creature.

Where to find female Combees in Pokémon Go

Female Combees are a rare sight, adding an exciting element to your Pokémon Go journey. I’ve often come across male-only creatures, who are much more common. But don’t lose hope, as they can still be found during special events and Raids.
Events like the Bug Out celebration significantly increase Combees’ spawn rate. While you’ll likely encounter more males, there’s always a glimmer of hope for a female Combee to appear, making your search all the more thrilling.

Combee Raid fights also feature female versions, depending on the Raid schedule. It all comes down to current events, or you could get lucky by finding it randomly in the wilds.
