===Physiology===
[[File:Combee wall.png|thumb|left|250px|A wall of Combee]]
Combee is a small insectoid Pokémon that resembles three pieces of orange, hexagonal honeycomb stuck together. Each hexagon has a round yellow face. The bottom-center face being the main thinker of the three is also the only one "bee" to have a full abdomen. The top two hexagons have a single antenna and a wing.
Combee is a small, flying, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body consists of three orange, hexagonal sections that resemble honeycomb cells, arranged with two hexagons on top and the remaining hexagon between and below them. Each hexagon has a round, yellow face with two black, oval eyes and a black, curved mouth. In the middle of their foreheads, the upper two faces each have a single whisker-thin, black antenna with black, oval tips approximately the size of their eyes. They also each have a translucent, rounded-triangle-shaped wing connected to an orange, domed joint on their sides. The backsides of the upper faces are yellow and rounded, as the sides of a sphere. The bottom face is the main thinker of the three, and it is also the only one to have a full, insectoid abdomen. This abdomen is yellow near the tip with a thick, black stripe close to its hexagonal frame. Female Combee have red, wedge-shaped spots on the foreheads of their lower faces, just below the point where all three faces meet; male Combee have no distinct markings in this area.


Since Combee is a Bee Pokémon, it has been considered as a distant cousin of the {{p|Weedle}} family, mainly {{p|Beedrill}}.
Similar to other Pokémon with multiple heads, such as {{p|Dugtrio}} and {{p|Dodrio}}, Combee's trio of faces each have their own consciousness. For example, each face has a different taste in nectar, and Combee can fly only when the top two faces coordinate the flapping of their wings. Each Combee's trio of faces has been together since birth.


====Gender differences====
Unlike bees in real life, the vast majority of Combee are male. However, Combee are otherwise similar to bees in their social behavior. They are mostly sociable among their own kind, and form groups of about a hundred individuals. They are generally harmless to others, as they tend to flee when threatened. From sunrise to sunset, Combee will collect nectar to create [[Honey]] wherever they can. {{p|Beautifly}} often provides trouble by driving away any Combee that tries to collect near it. Though Combee produce Honey for multiple purposes, they usually consume it. Each swarm of Combee makes a different flavor of honey. When not gathering nectar, Combee will protect their queen {{p|Vespiquen}}. They are very suggestible and will never defy the orders of their queen. When a Vespiquen feels threatened, its Combee will not think twice about risking their lives to protect their queen, to the point of aggressively attacking or even killing the threat. Combee commonly live in caves and hollow trees of forests and other natural, secluded areas with their queen. Combee sleep by creating a hive with other Combee, locking together into a tessellated wall to feel safe in larger numbers. {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Mothim}} regularly raid Combee nests for the Honey they collected.
Male Combee are incapable of evolution. The lower face of a female Combee has a red spot on its forehead (which would become the red jewel on the head of a {{p|Vespiquen}}) and an open-mouth, smiling expression. The latter point may indicate more developed emotional and intellectual capabilities although as of {{game|Platinum}} male Combee can also exhibit this expression.


====Special abilities====
Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Honey Gather}} was Combee's [[Signature Ability|signature]] [[Ability]].
Combee can fly with its two wings as long as the top two "bees" co-ordinate their flapping. Combee's skills in battle are very limited, since it is only capable of learning three moves total. Using its wings it can {{m|Gust|whip up fast winds}} to attack and can also distract Pokémon with the {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet smell}} of its honey. More recently Combee and other {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon have been found to have the ability to {{m|Bug Bite|bite opponents and eat a berry they may be holding}}.


Another prominent talent of Combee is {{a|Honey Gather|honey gathering}}; finding a way to collect the sugary syrup from almost anywhere.
===Evolution===
Female Combee evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}. Male Combee are not known to evolve.


Through [[Move tutor|specialized training]] Combee are capable of learning a wider selection of attacks including {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Ominous Wind}}. However, it is clear from the nature of many of these attacks that they are beyond the natural capabilities of wild Combee.

Combee also have abilities untapped by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Only through the orders of a Combee's queen can its {{m|Attack Order|powerful attacking skills}}, {{m|Defend Order|strong defensive maneuvers}} and {{m|Heal Order|expertise in healing}} be unlocked.

Combee are very suggestible creatures and will never defy the orders of its queen. When a Vespiquen feels threatened, its subject Combee will not think twice about risking their own lives and forming a ''Combee wall'' to protect the queen, then attacking and even killing the threat in an aggressive manner.

===Habitat===
Combee will not appear in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness until a rescue mission involving it has been completed, using a Wonder Mail code such as the following:
Combee will commonly make residence in caves and hollow trees of forests and other natural, secluded areas with their queen {{p|Vespiquen}}. When a group of Combee aren't being led by a queen, they will usually create a make-shift hive (out of their own bodies) anywhere they feel safe.

Combee is based on {{wp|honeycomb}}s, and {{wp|honeybee}}s.
[[File:Early Combee concept art.png|thumb|250px|Early design of Combee<ref name=Sugimori>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xvi-xvii</ref>]]
Combee is based on {{wp|honeycomb}}s and {{wp|honey bee}}s.
 
In an interview for ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', [[Ken Sugimori]] elaborated on the design process for Combee in particular. Based on a request to create a "Pokémon made of three honeycombs stuck together", the designers came up with a design featuring three larvae wedged inside a honeycomb. Sugimori noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=Sugimori/>
 
====Name origin====
====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, 蜂蜜, ''hachimitsu'', honey, 三つ ''mittsu'', three, referring to the number of its honeycomb-like features, and the English ''honey''.
Combee may be derived from ''honeycomb'', ''combination'' (referring to it being made up of three segments), and ''bee''.
 
Mitsuhoney may be a combination of 蜜蜂 ''mitsubachi'' (honey bee), 三つ ''mittsu'' (three), and ''honey''.

Combee (Japanese: ミツハニー Mitsuhoney) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Female Combee evolve into Vespiquen starting at level 21. Male Combee are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

A wall of Combee

Combee is a small, flying, insectoid Pokémon. Its body consists of three orange, hexagonal sections that resemble honeycomb cells, arranged with two hexagons on top and the remaining hexagon between and below them. Each hexagon has a round, yellow face with two black, oval eyes and a black, curved mouth. In the middle of their foreheads, the upper two faces each have a single whisker-thin, black antenna with black, oval tips approximately the size of their eyes. They also each have a translucent, rounded-triangle-shaped wing connected to an orange, domed joint on their sides. The backsides of the upper faces are yellow and rounded, as the sides of a sphere. The bottom face is the main thinker of the three, and it is also the only one to have a full, insectoid abdomen. This abdomen is yellow near the tip with a thick, black stripe close to its hexagonal frame. Female Combee have red, wedge-shaped spots on the foreheads of their lower faces, just below the point where all three faces meet; male Combee have no distinct markings in this area.

Similar to other Pokémon with multiple heads, such as Dugtrio and Dodrio, Combee's trio of faces each have their own consciousness. For example, each face has a different taste in nectar, and Combee can fly only when the top two faces coordinate the flapping of their wings. Each Combee's trio of faces has been together since birth.

Unlike bees in real life, the vast majority of Combee are male. However, Combee are otherwise similar to bees in their social behavior. They are mostly sociable among their own kind, and form groups of about a hundred individuals. They are generally harmless to others, as they tend to flee when threatened. From sunrise to sunset, Combee will collect nectar to create Honey wherever they can. Beautifly often provides trouble by driving away any Combee that tries to collect near it. Though Combee produce Honey for multiple purposes, they usually consume it. Each swarm of Combee makes a different flavor of honey. When not gathering nectar, Combee will protect their queen Vespiquen. They are very suggestible and will never defy the orders of their queen. When a Vespiquen feels threatened, its Combee will not think twice about risking their lives to protect their queen, to the point of aggressively attacking or even killing the threat. Combee commonly live in caves and hollow trees of forests and other natural, secluded areas with their queen. Combee sleep by creating a hive with other Combee, locking together into a tessellated wall to feel safe in larger numbers. Teddiursa and Mothim regularly raid Combee nests for the Honey they collected.

Prior to Generation V, Honey Gather was Combee's signature Ability.

Evolution

Female Combee evolve into Vespiquen. Male Combee are not known to evolve.

Trivia

Origin

Early design of Combee[1]

Combee is based on honeycombs and honey bees.

In an interview for Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex, Ken Sugimori elaborated on the design process for Combee in particular. Based on a request to create a "Pokémon made of three honeycombs stuck together", the designers came up with a design featuring three larvae wedged inside a honeycomb. Sugimori noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.[1]

Name origin

Combee may be derived from honeycomb, combination (referring to it being made up of three segments), and bee.

Mitsuhoney may be a combination of 蜜蜂 mitsubachi (honey bee), 三つ mittsu (three), and honey.
