They swear fealty to a queen Pokémon and work diligently to gather nectar. Each swarm produces a different flavor of honey.
Combee Weakness
Combee's Bug/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Rock, Fire, Electric, Ice, and Flying. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Ground-type attacks completely.

| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Electric, Ice, Flying |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Bug |
