Combee (#415) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region (Generation 4) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 566 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Combee has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Combee in 2026.
Combee's Attack stat is 59 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Combee may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 83 Defense (Below Average) and 102 Stamina (Average), the total stat product is 244. Trainers should be mindful of Combee's limited bulk. Compared to other Bug-type Pokémon, Combee's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Combee depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bug Bite (Fast) with Bug Buzz (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Combee has 1 Fast Attacks and 1 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Combee can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Bug/Flying typing provides useful matchups against Ground, Fighting, Grass-type threats while being weak to Rock, Fire, Flying types.
In Master League, Combee faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Combee's effectiveness depends on its typing and 59 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Combee use Rock, Fire-type moves.
Combee can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Combee is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
