How to evolve Combee into Vespiquen in Pokemon Go

Combee is one of a few Pokemon with a very particular evolution method, so if you’ve caught one in Pokemon Go, you may be wondering how to evolve your Combee into a Vespiquen.

Pokemon Go players may have encountered the bumbling bee-Pokemon Combee on their travels, but only some of these Pokemon can evolve into the much more powerful Vespiquen.

It’s an evolution method first seen in the fourth generation and not used by many Pokemon across the entire Pokedex simply because of its peculiarity and specificity.

So get ready to add another powerful Bug-type Pokemon to your arsenal with our guide.

How to evolve Combee into Vespiquen

To evolve Combee into Vespiquen, give a female Combee 50 Combee Candy. Male Combee cannot evolve and instead are stuck as Combee forever.

This evolution method is on par with how Vespiquen evolves in the mainline games, as only female Combee can evolve in those titles.

That’s right. Much like real-life bees, only the female ones can become the queen, meaning you must hunt one down if you ever want to complete that Pokedex. This is even more challenging, as male Combee are more likely to appear in the wild than female Combee.

Thankfully, anyone hoping to add Vespiquen to their Pokedex is in luck, as the upcoming Pokemon Go Ultra Unlock: Better Together event features both an increased chance of encountering Combee in the wild and as a Field Research Task reward.

That’s everything to know about evolving Combee into Vespiquen. For more information on Pokemon Go, check out our guides on Spotlight Hours, current Raid bosses, and all upcoming events.
