The player will get involved in the Galaxy Expedition Team, sometimes called the Galaxy Team, as a crucial member of the Survey Corps in Pokemon Legends: Arceus to discover more about the Pokemon found in the Hisui region.
One of the game’s main goals is for the player to catch every Pokemon species in the region to complete the Hisui Pokedex. Furthermore, the all-powerful Arceus commands the player to find every Pokemon in the region. As a result, the player must be acquainted with every Hisui Pokemon.
This guide will discuss everything you need to know about Combee in Pokemon Legends: Arceus!
Combee
Combee, the 70th Pokemon in the Hisuian Pokedex, is a Bug and Flying-type Tiny Bee Pokemon with a small, orange body with three hexagonal sections that look like honeycomb cells arranged in a way that there are two hexagons on top and one below.
Each face has a pair of round, black eyes and a curved mouth, thin, black antennae with oval tips on the forehead of the top hexagon faces, a pair of white, translucent wings on both sides of its body that are shaped like a rounded triangle, a dark orange base on each wing, rounded backs on the top hexagons, and a yellow and black abdomen on the bottom hexagon.
According to its Pokedex entry in the game, Combees are loyal to a queen Pokemon and work hard to gather nectar. Also, it says that each swarm of Combee can produce a different honey flavor.
Basic Information
Combee is a Bug, and Flying-type Pokemon, meaning it has a weakness (super effective) to Electric-type, Fire-type, Flying-type, Ice-type, and especially Rock-type moves, a resistance (not very effective) to Fighting-type, Grass-type, and especially Bug-type moves, and immunity (no effect) to Ground-type moves.
Combee’s base stats are 30 HP, 30 Attack, 42 Defense, 30 Special Attack, 42 Special Defense, and 70 Speed, for 244.
Combee can be evolved to a Vespiquen when a female Combee reaches Level 21.
Combee’s preferred foods are Springy Mushrooms, Dazzling Honey Hearty Grains, and Plump Beans. Along with berries, these foods can be used as food for Combee and lure for catching or battling it unawares.
If a Combee is beaten or captured, two items are dropped that the player will get: a Spoiled Apricorn and a Dazzling Honey.
Location
To find a Combee, the player can head to the following locations:
In the Obsidian Fieldlands: The Heartwood, Ramanas Island, and Grueling Grove.
The Crimson Mirelands: north of Cottonsedge Prairie, south of Droning Meadow, in Cloudpool Ridge, and around Lake Valor.
In the Cobalt Coastlands: in Aipom Hill.
The player can find Combee in these areas at all times of day and in all weather conditions.
Also, Combee can be found in shaking trees in the locations mentioned above.
Research Tasks
The following are the Research Tasks in Combee’s Pokedex entry in Pokemon Legends: Arceus:
Multiplier | Research Task | Objectives |
x2 | Number caught | 1/3/6/12/25 |
Number defeated | 1/2/4/10/15 | |
Numb you’ve defeated with Rock-type moves | 1/2/4/6/10 | |
Times you have seen it use Gust | 1/3/6/12/25 | |
x2 | Number you have seen leap out of trees | 1/3/8/20/40 |
Number of different forms you have obtained | 2 | |
x2 | Number you have evolved | 1/2/3 |
x2 | Investigated the flavors of Combee honey | 1 |
A Pokemon’s entry in the Pokedex is considered finished once it attains Research Level 10. A Pokedex entry’s Research Level rises by one level every time one of a Research Task’s objectives is completed. The Pokedex entry gains two Research Levels instead of only one after accomplishing a Research Task objective with a multiplier of x2.

Not only that, but the player also gains Research Points for accomplishing Research Tasks and completing Pokedex entries. If the player earns enough Research Points, the player’s Star Rank in the Galaxy Team will be raised.
To quickly complete Combee’s Pokedex entry, the player can catch three Combees, then defeat four more using Rock-type moves. Doing these will tick the first and second objectives of the “Number caught” Research Task to gain four Research Levels because of its x2 multiplier, tick the first, second, and third objective of the “Number defeated” Research Task to add three Research Levels, and tick the first, second, and third objective of the “Number you have defeated with Rock-type moves” Research Task to gain the three Research Levels needed to get to Research Level 10.
Moves
The player can level up their Combee or go to the Training Grounds to learn new moves for their Combee.
Leveling Up
As the player’s Combee levels up, Combee can learn and master these moves in Pokemon Legends: Arceus:
Move | Type | Learn Level | Master Level | Power | Accuracy | PP |
Gust | Flying-type | 1 | 10 | 40 | 100 | 25 |
Struggle Bug | Bug-type | 6 | 15 | 40 | 100 | 20 |
Training Grounds
By speaking with Captain Zisu in the Training Grounds, which are situated in the northwest corner of the Jubilife Village, Combee can learn the following moves:
Move | Type | Power | Accuracy | PP |
Swift | Normal-type | 60 | – | 20 |
Ominous Wind | Ghost-type | 60 | 100 | 15 |
Relevant Request
Combee is involved in Request 57, called the “The Taste of Honey” Request. This request will also complete the “Investigated the flavors of Combee honey” Research Task in Combee’s Pokedex entry.
To unlock this request, the player must first achieve the following:
- Unlock Basculegion as a rideable Pokemon, part of ‘The Lordless Island’ Mission (mission 10), where the player is tasked to quell a frenzied Hisuian Arcanine.
- Encounter or catch a Combee and add it to the player’s Pokedex.
To start this request, Go to the Galaxy Hall and head to Professor Laventon’s room on the left side of Captain Cyllene’s office. Inside Professor Laventon’s room, Interact with the blackboard just behind Professor Laventon, and on the prompt, select ‘The Taste of Honey’ request.
After that, head out of Professor Laventon’s office and the Galaxy Hall, go to the middle row of houses in Jubilife Village, then enter the second house of the houses on the right (assuming the Galaxy Hall is behind the player).
Continuing the Request
Inside, the player will find Almous, a member of the Agriculture Corps. Talk to Almous, who will inform the player that he has been collecting Combee honey for work. He believes that the flavor of Combee honey varies depending on the group of Combee.
He will then inform the player that he wishes to investigate the differences. However, collecting honey from Combee hives in various locations is too difficult for him. As a result, Almous will request that the player bring him Combees from three locations.
Almous will first ask the player to catch a Combee from Grueling Grove. Go to Grueling Grove, which is on the northeast of the map of the Obsidian Fieldlands, then catch one Combee.
Afterward, head back to Almous, who is still in his quarters in the middle of Jubilife Village. Show him the Combee that was just caught. Almous will then taste some of the Combee’s honey and affirm that it is perfect—tasting. He thinks it is like a concentrated drop of wholesome, forest-like goodness. However, Almous will admit that he has a hunch that it doesn’t taste quite like honey from other locations.
Catching the Combee
Then, Almous will ask that the player catch a Combee from Aipom Hill. So, go to Aipom Hill, on the southeast of the map of the Cobalt Coastlands, and catch one Combee.
After doing that, return to Almous in Jubilife Village and show him the Combee caught from Aipom Hill. Almous will sample this Combee’s honey. He will say it is not too sweet, just plain and simple honey. He will say it is good enough to serve on its own and tasted different from the previous Combee’s honey.
Lastly, Almous will ask the player to catch a Combee from Ramanas Island. Go to Ramanas Island, the island southeast of the Obsidian Fieldlands, and catch one last Combee. It’s crucial to note that the Combee in this area can only be found from shaking trees.
To do this, just aim and throw a Pokemon to a shaking tree; when it strikes the tree, a Pokemon—hopefully a Combee—will leap out and engage in a battle against the player. If the player can’t find any shaking trees in this area, however, the player would have to reset the map by heading back to Jubilife Village and then back to Ramanas Island in the Obsidian Fieldlands.
Concluding the Request
After catching a Combee from Ramanas Island, head back to Almous in Jubilife Village, show him the Combee from Ramanas Island, and, for the last time, he will try a sample of this Combee’s honey and say that this honey is great to be stirred into a cup of tea and that there must be something different about its flowers.
Because of all that, Almous will conclude that Combees in different areas make honey of different flavors. Because there are so many clusters of Combee in Obsidian Fieldlands alone, he is getting the urge to collect more honey. So, Almous will then thank the player for helping him confirm his suspicions.
Finally, the “The Taste of Honey” Request is complete. The player will be rewarded with three King’s Leaf and three Dazzling Honey for your efforts.
As a result of all of this information, Combee is now easier to find, catch, and use in battle. Combee can also be an excellent addition to the Pokemon Legends: Arceus player’s party. It can help with missions, requests, and even the all-powerful Arceus’ task for the player to catch ’em all!
