If I have a male combee can I breed it to get a female combee?

Question

I have a male Combee and have been breeding it with a ditto holding quickpowder to try to get a female Combee to evolve into Vespiqueen. Please help!

Answer 1

When you breed, the gender is random. However, for combee, it only has a 12.5% chance to be a female. So, you've just gotta keep trying!
NOTE: I recommend putting multiple eggs in your party at once so they all get the steps boost. Also, if you catch Volcorona or another Pokemon with Flame Body or Magma Armor and put it in the front of your part, every step counts as two for the egg. This speeds things up. A combee egg normally takes 3840 steps to hatch, but with Volcorona, it takes 1920.

I just checked my Magmar has it.

Slugma also has that ability

Moltres only has it in Gen V. Pressure is the Gen IV and earlier ability.
9 days late but I just saw this.

if the ditto doesnt have quickpowder can you still get a female one or not?

Items do not impact gender ratio of the offspring.  It’s still a 12.5% chance, with or without quick powder.

Answer 2

Yes, you can. Just keep breeding until you have one. Combee are 12.5% female, so keep breeding until you get one.
