Tips
  • Combee can be found in Eterna Forest and on Route 205 (North).
  • Remember that Combee evolves into Vespiquen only at level 21, and only female Combee evolve. Male Combee cannot evolve.
  • The Macho Brace doubles the Effort Values (EVs) gained from battles but halves the Pokémon's Speed stat during battle.
