Pokemon Crossbreeds: Bumblebee

Bumblebee is the name for members of the Combee line with a Joltik/Galvantula father. This breed is rare since Vespqieun rarely ever want to mate with mon that aren't Combee, seeing most other bug types as enemies. The breed was named after their fluffy bodies.

Combee

Because Vespiquen often see other bugs as enemies, crossbreed combee are often driven out of their hives. This isn't that bad for female Combee, who are better suited to be by themselves, but it's often a bigger problem for male combee who rely on others to survive. This breeds fluffy bodies help them carry more pollen, which is good if they're living on their own.

Vespiquen

Bumblebee Vespiquen have similar behaviors to standard Vespiquen, but they tend to be more gluttonous and aim for prey instead of just eating honey. Since Vespiquen have a natural instinct to lead, the ones that were driven out of hives tend to find other lone Combee and make hives with them. Hives that are run by crossbreed Vespiquen tend to have a smaller population but are more tight-knit and accepting of new members.

Anyways, Vespiquen. Like Galvantula, these Vespiquen will set traps to catch mon that come by. The hives they make can also often resemble spider webs as well.

Are there any pkmn you refuse to breed for one reason or another? Not looking to be a client I’m just curious

Hi! Yes, there are actually quite a few I deny because of housing issues and personal comfort. For example, I stopped taking requests for salazzle after the dam I had started negatively affecting other pokémon in my care. (I do however still own a salandit, who helps me hatch eggs if the parent decides to abandon the clutch.)

Nowadays I generally decline requests for shinies like combee, who only evolve when they’re female and have a low rate of being female.

Speaking of shinies, I also vet living spaces when someone asks me for one. I make sure each pokémon I breed goes to a good trainer, which means I don’t sell to hoarders.

Finally, while I don’t decline these kinds of orders, I’m not very fond of using a ditto for breeding. Their spare DNA copies can easily make crossbreeds you don’t want, which is part of why I don’t have one myself.

Butterfree Facts

(Art by hitofutarai on Twitter)

-The scientific name for Butterfree is "Venosa Nigaetgi" which roughly translates to "Black nettle-veined scales"

-Butterfree are lepidopterans, and while many people think that they're closely related to Venonat and Venomoth, but they're actually more closely related to Beautifly/Dustox and Vivillion

-Butterfree's environment includes meadows and tropical jungles. The Butterfree in jungles tend to be bigger

-Unlike a lot of other bug/flying types, Butterfree don't mind the rain and can fly very well in it due to the poisonous scales on its wings repelling water

-Butterfree's natural enemies are Cutiefly and Combee, with Butterfree always trying to take their pollen and honey. There's been instances where Butterfree will team up with Mothim in order to raid Combee hives

-Butterfree are very "hands off" type of parents, with them not getting in the way of their young Caterpie, but hovering around the area where their eggs hatched and sometimes protecting them from bigger threats. This behavior stops when Caterpie evolves into metapod

-Butterfree don't have long tongues to slurp up nectar, so instead, they gained fangs to help them eat the pollen and nectar

-Butterfree mate for life, usually having 1 egg clutch each year

-Butterfree can lay up to 15 caterpie eggs in once clutch

-Butterfree travel all over the world, and because of this, Butterfree crossbreeds and pokemon crossed with Butterfree are very common (here's a post about Cutiefly/Ribombee crossed with Butterfree!)

-Butterfree really like foods with high sugar. You can attract Butterfree to your house by putting out Honey, Fruit Punch, or Gatorade

-Butterfree are able to taste with their feet, but only a little bit, and still primarily taste with their tongue (which they do have) Beautifly and Dustox are the ones that taste entirely with their feet

-Butterfree absolutely hate cold weather as it makes it almost impossible for them to fly. This is because they're cold blooded, and can't regulate their own body temperature

-Butterfree's gender difference is there to help males find females when mating

-Butterfree see in an ultra violet light

-The average lifespan for a wild Butterfree is 3 years, and the life span for a Butterfree in captivity is 6 years

//So I'm doing crossbreed pokemon again, and I'm wondering how I should do Gendered evolutions.

Like, say there's a male ladybu with a combee father. When he evolves into Ledian, would he have traits of a Vespiquen's or stay with Combee traits? How should I do this?
