==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ribombee is a tiny, insectoid Pokémon with a large head, slightly smaller body, and thin arms and legs. It is covered in fluffy, yellow fur with a white face, lower body, and a tuft of white fur on its back. It has big eyes with a one white and one brown square speck in the center. Over its eyes are white hairs similar to eyelashes, and it has two black antennae. Around its neck is a brown scarf with a needle-like projection on the front. Two wings nearly as large as its body sprout from its back. The wings are white with three brown loop designs near the base. Its four thin limbs have bulbous hands or feet.
===Behavior===
Ribombee create different varieties of puffs by rolling up pollen, which can be used for food and battles. When not in use, it sticks pollen to its fur. During rain, it takes shelter in the hollow of a tree and stays there until the rain recedes. It hates rain, as rain makes pollen damp and reveals itself only after a few clear days pass by in a row. They seem to a appreciate acts of kindness as Lana gave it the flower bracelet repaying her and Mallow with two pollen puffs.
===Natural abilities===
Ribombee can predict the weather by feeling the moisture levels and wind direction. They have the ability to understand the feelings of people and Pokémon.
==Evolution==
Ribombee evolves from Cutiefly starting at level 25.

===Origin===
Ribombee is based on a bee or a . Its typing brings fairies and sprites to mind. Its use of pollen as an attack not only references how bees carry pollen to pollinate other flowers and use it for food, but may also reference how some fairies in folklore use "pixie dust" as a form of magic. It may also be a pun on the fairyfly species.
===Etymology===
Ribombee comes from ribbon (referring to its clothing like fuzz), bombyliidae, and bee (due to its process of pollination and small appearance).
