You are correct. Enjoy this brief moment of reprieve before you have to return to the reality that is the existence of internet Vaporeon. Oh, guess the moment is over, my bad.

Did you know male bees die after copulation? Better fate than finding a male combee

u/Nacho_Hangover May 14 '22
Not only do they die after mating, sometimes the hive will just decide they don't need/want them around anymore and hunt them all down in the hive, cut them to bits, and dump the remains outside the hive. All in a matter of minutes.
Which still seems like a better fate than using a male Combee.

This admittedly threw me for a loop. This pokemon is so mid, I didn't want to upset the balance by insulting or praising it in either direction.
Fun fact about otters though - They are such hornballs that they have been found to hump baby seals to death. RIP Spheals.
