PvE Analysis

Combee has an ATK stats of only 59, giving it negligible DPS. Moreover, Bug is a poor offensive typing unless the said Pokémon’s stats are high. With such a weak profile, Combee is not meant for PvE battles like Raids or Gyms.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Despite having only one Fast Move and one Charged Move, Combee is viable in the Little Cup thanks to wins against some premier threats like Deino, Wynaut, Bulbasaur, Umbreon, Wooper, Barboach, Shelmet, and Chansey. It helps that Combee’s stats lean towards DEF and HP. 👍

However, even though Combee bags some notable wins, it's still not a reliable Pokémon overall due to the limited coverage of Bug-type offense. 🪲

Combee is too weak for any other PvP League.

💎 The best PvP moves for Combee are Bug Bite and Bug Buzz.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Combee, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
