'''Ribombee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブリボン''' ''Aburibon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cutiefly}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
Ribombee is a tiny, insectoid Pokémon with a large head, slightly smaller body, and thin arms and legs. It is covered in fluffy, yellow hair with a white face, hips, and a tuft of hair on its back. It has big eyes with a small, brown square speck in the lower half. Over its eyes a white hairs similar to eyelashes and it has two black antennae. Around its neck is a brown scarf with a needle-like projection on the front. Two wings nearly as large as its body sprout from its back. The wings are clear with three brown loop designs near the base. Its four thin limbs have bulbous hands or feet.

Ribombee uses its fluffy hair to hold pollen it collects from flowers. Rain causes its hair to become dirty, so it only visits fields if the weather will remain clear. The pollen and nectar its collects is used to form balls called "Pollen Puffs". Pollen Puffs have a variety of uses. These balls can be used as food, to attack and paralysis or dizziness, or even relieve tiredness with a soothing effect. The Alolan people sell Pollen Puffs as valuable supplements.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ribombee/</ref>

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Ribombee and its {{p|Cutiefly|pre-evolution}}.

===Origin===
Ribombee appears to be based on a {{wp|bee fly}}. It may also be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and sprites. Its "pollen puffs" may draw inspiration from fairy dust, a magical dust thought to be used by fairies.

====Name origin====
Ribombee may be a combination of ''ribbon'', ''{{wp|Bombyliidae}}'', ''bomb'', and ''bee''. It may also involve ''ribombante'', the Spanish word for flamboyant.

Aburibon may be a combination of 吊虻 ''tsuriabu'' (bee fly) and ''ribbon''.
