Pokédex entries
Sun | It rolls up pollen into puffs. It makes many different varieties, some used as food and others used in battle. |
---|---|
Moon | Some of Ribombee’s pollen puffs are highly nutritious. They are sometimes sold as supplements. |
Ultra Sun | Rain makes pollen damp, so Ribombee hates rain. When it sees ominous clouds, it finds a hollow in a tree, where it waits stock-still. |
Ultra Moon | It can predict the weather from moisture levels and wind direction. Ribombee only reveals itself when there are a few clear days in a row. |
Sword | It makes pollen puffs from pollen and nectar. The puffs’ effects depend on the type of ingredients and how much of each one is used. |
Shield | Ribombee absolutely hate getting wet or rained on. In the cloudy Galar region, they are very seldom seen. |
