Combee, the Shiny Bee Pokémon in Pokémon Go
Combee, the tiny bee Pokémon from Sinnoh, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. What’s even more exciting is that Combee can be shiny in Pokémon Go!
However, its evolution, Vespiquen, doesn’t see much use in PvP or raids. It’s important to note that only female Combee can evolve into Vespiquen, so always check for the red-orange diamond on its middle-most head before evolving it.
What is the shiny rate for Combee in Pokémon Go?
According to old research from The Silph Road, the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Unfortunately, Combee is not considered a Pokémon with a “permaboost” for its shiny rate—it remains a rare spawn.
How to Increase Your Chances of Finding Shiny Pokémon
Increasing your chances of finding shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go is not something you have much control over. The shiny rates are set by Niantic and are mostly random. Boosted shiny rates typically only occur during special events like Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids, and there are no items to boost shiny rates.
