Biology

Physiology

Combee is a small insectoid Pokémon that resembles three pieces of honeycomb stuck together. Each hexagon has a face that looks similar to one of the Block Robots from LaRousse City. The top two hexagons have a single antenna and a wing.

Since Combee is a Bee Pokémon, it has been considered as a distant cousin of Beedrill.

Gender differences

The lower face of a female Combee has a red spot on its forehead and a smiling expression. Also, a male Combee is incapable of evolving.

Origin

Combee is based on honeycombs, and honeybees.

Name origin

Combee's English name is derived from honeycomb and bee. Its name also bears a similarity to "combination", possibly referring to the fact that it is made of three parts. Its Japanese name may derive from 蜜蜂 mitsubachi, honey bee, 三つ mittsu, three, referring to the number of its honeycomb-like features, and the English honey. Its German name, Wadribie, comes from Wabe, Drei and Biene. Its French name, Apitrini, comes from apis, latin for bee, and trinity. Korean name is a combination of 'three' (셋, set), 'honey' (꿀, ggul), and 'bee' (벌, bur).
