Appearances
Anime
Combee debuted at the end of the episode The Grass-Type is Always Greener! where Ash and Co. along with Cheryl would follow it in the next episode. Combee had an even bigger part in An Angry Combeenation! where they guarded their colony and served their leader Vespiquen.
Combee made a cameo in the Pokémon movie The Rise of Darkrai.
Trivia
- This is the only Pokémon with two different genders where only the female can evolve.
- The fact that there are more male Combee than female may be linked to the fact that real Bees only have a single queen and many male workers.
- Combee is the second Pokémon to be based on a bee, the first being Beedrill and third being Combee's evolved form, Vespiquen.
Origins
Combee's English name comes from a combination of the word "honeycomb", and "bee". It's Japanese name Mitsuhoney comes from the words 蜜蜂 mitsubacchi (honey bee), and the English word honey. The name Combee also sounds similar to "combine," as Combee resembles a combination of three bees.
