Vespiquen (ビークイン) is the 54th Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. She is a Bug/Flying Type, and is known as the Beehive Pokémon.
Vespiquen uses the Pressure Ability. Pressure deducts a second PP off of the enemy whenever it uses a move on Vespiquen. A second Ability is available to Vespiquen from the Dream World, the Unnerve Ability. This Ability intimidates the opponent to the point in which they won't consume their held Berry.
Female Combee can evolve into Vespiquen at Level 21.
Vespiquen is in the Bug Egg Group, and her Egg takes approximately 3,840 Steps to hatch. It takes Vespiquen 1,059,860 Experience Points to reach Level 100.

[edit] Competitive Battling
Vespiquen has the Defenses to be a viable option in the Never-Utilized and Rarely-Utilized Tiers of Competitive Battling. Her biggest problem is typing, which will cause her to lose half her HP upon entry should a Stealth Rock hazard be in play. Her Speed is rather low as well, allowing for faster Pokémon to strike first.
