Verdict

Collector's Pick
Combee is a Bug/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 59/83/102 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 559. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Combee in Pokemon GO?
Combee has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Combee for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Combee's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Combee is weak to Rock, Electric, Fire, Flying, Ice-type moves. It has a double weakness to Rock, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Combee, prioritize using Rock-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, Combee resists Ground, Fighting, Grass, Bug-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Combee effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Combee's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Combee's maximum CP is 559 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 494 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Combee's CP is calculated from its base stats: 59 Attack, 83 Defense, and 102 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Combee caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 282 CP, or 353 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Combee?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Combee has the following CP at key levels: 212 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 282 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 353 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 559 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Combee, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Combee ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Combee in Pokemon GO?
Combee can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Combee can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Combee be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Combee's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Combee availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
