Vespiquen and Shiny Vespiquen in Pokémon GO: A Guide
Trainers aiming to complete their Pokédexes in Pokémon GO are curious about acquiring Vespiquen. Here’s a detailed guide to obtaining both regular and shiny Vespiquen in Niantic’s mobile game.
Obtaining Vespiquen in Pokémon GO
The sole method for acquiring Vespiquen in Pokémon GO, excluding trades, is to evolve a female Combee. This process requires 50 Combee candies, which can be obtained by catching multiple Combees or setting one as your buddy Pokémon.
Finding and Catching Combee
Combee is commonly found in the wild, particularly in grassy and rural areas. To increase your chances of encountering Combee, use Incense or Lure Modules. Combee can also be hatched from 7-km eggs, though its appearance in egg pools is sporadic.
Completing Research Tasks can also reward players with Combee encounters. Keep an eye out for these tasks during events that feature Bug-type Pokémon, such as Bug Out. Combee could also appear as a photobomb encounter during certain events.
Evolving Combee into Vespiquen
Once you’ve obtained a female Combee, you can evolve it into Vespiquen by collecting 50 Combee candies. To evolve, simply open the Pokémon’s information page and tap the “Evolve” button.
Obtaining Shiny Vespiquen in Pokémon GO
Acquiring shiny Vespiquen is more challenging. It can only be obtained through trading or evolution from a shiny female Combee.
Finding Shiny Combee
Shiny Combee, which is red-orange in coloration, has a base shiny appearance rate of approximately 1 in 512. However, events like Bug Out tend to boost shiny Combee appearances.
Evolving Shiny Combee into Shiny Vespiquen
To evolve shiny Combee, collect 50 candies and open its information page. Tap the “Evolve” button, and you’ll have your shiny Vespiquen.
Trading for Shiny Vespiquen
If finding a shiny Combee is proving difficult, you can trade with another trainer who has one and evolve it yourself, or trade directly for a shiny Vespiquen.
By following these methods, you’re on your way to completing your Pokédex and adding both regular and shiny Vespiquen to your collection.
