Vespiquen (Japanese: ビークイン Beequeen) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon. It is the evolved form of Combee.

Biology

Physiology

Vespiquen is 3-foot tall bee Pokémon. This Pokémon has a yellow and black striped abdomen that resembles a skirt. Its abdomen can serve as a nest for baby Combee. It has black, skinny arms with two orange claws and flies with a pair of small (compared to her body) wings on her shoulders. She has an orange face with red eyes, a red gem on her forehead and yellow and black "horns".

Gender differences

Vespiquen is female only.

Special abilities

Vespiquen has three separate signature moves that involve summoning a swarm of baby Combee, which she stores in her honeycomb-like lower abdomen: One is for defending, the second is for recovery and the third is for attacking enemies.
