If you were looking for the island in the Decolore Islands, see Honey Island.

Honey (Japanese: あまいミツ Sweet Honey) is an item that was introduced in Generation IV. This item can be used on special, golden-colored trees in Sinnoh to attract Pokémon—most of which can only be found in the wild in those games by use of these trees.

In the games

Effect

When used in tall grass, Honey acts in a manner similar to the move Sweet Scent, starting a wild Pokémon battle. In Generation VI, this will trigger a Horde Encounter if they are present in the area.

In Sinnoh, honey can be slathered on trees in order to attract Pokémon.

Locations

Generation IV

In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions, Honey is first obtained after the player saves a Honey-selling man from Team Galactic in Floaroma Meadow, near Floaroma Town. He will reward the player with some of his Honey. From then onwards, the player will be able to purchase Honey from him in Floaroma Meadow for $100 each.

Multiple units of Honey (two in Diamond and Pearl, six in Platinum) are hidden in Floaroma Meadow and may be found using the Dowsing Machine Pokétch app. In Platinum, after the initial six hidden Honeys are found, two will regenerate in the same locations each day thereafter.[1]

There are many units of Honey scattered throughout the region, from Route 205 to Route 222. These include two hidden units of Honey, one in a yellow crate in the kitchen of the Old Chateau and another on a solitary gravestone on floor 2F of the Lost Tower.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Honey can be found on the Big Forest, Resort, and Sightseeing PokéWalker routes.

Generation V

In White, the player can receive a jar of Honey from Gentleman Frederic once a day, as long as he is present in White Forest.

In Black 2 and White 2, Honey can be purchased at Join Avenue Markets.

Honey was also an item that could be found in the Dream Park, but the Dream World service has been discontinued as of January 14, 2014.

Generation VI

In X and Y, the player can find respawning jars of Honey on Routes 12, 18, and at Pokémon Village. They can also find three jars on on Route 4, and will receive three more from Trevor on 5, when he teaches the player about Horde Encounters.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player may obtain a jar of Honey once a day from a Bug Maniac in Fallarbor Town's Pokémon Center.

As a held item

Combee always hold a jar of Honey when found in the wild. Surskit found via DexNav also have a chance of holding Honey.

In addition, Pokémon with the ability Honey Gather have a chance to pick up a jar of Honey after battle. The higher the Pokémon's level is, the better its chances are.

Honey trees

Once Honey is slathered on a Honey tree and at least 6 real-time hours have passed, a Pokémon may appear on the tree. If a tree is left unchecked for 24 hours, both the Honey and any Pokémon will be gone. Changing the Nintendo DS's clock will have no impact on the Honey tree's timer.

There are 21 Honey trees spread throughout Sinnoh. Four of them have a chance to attract Munchlax; these trees are selected when the game begins, based on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID. The special Munchlax trees are visually indistinguishable from normal trees and cannot be changed short of starting a new game. In general, Munchlax trees are more likely to contain rarer wild Pokémon species, most notably Munchlax itself.

The species of Pokémon (or whether one will appear at all) is determined at the time a tree is slathered. Therefore, once a tree is slathered, saving the game and resetting will not change the Pokémon that will appear on it. However, its level, gender, Nature, IVs, and other random values may change.

Locations

Munchlax trees

Which four honey trees can contain Munchlax depends on the player's Trainer ID and secret ID[2] (referred to herein as tid and sid). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. tid1 and sid1 will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by id % 256), while tid2 and sid2 will refer to the higher byte (calculable by id / 256).

The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:

A = sid1 % 21
B = sid2 % 21
C = tid1 % 21
D = tid2 % 21

The game checks if any of these are equal. If A is equal to B, B is increased by 1. The game then checks A against C, followed by B against C, adding 1 to C if it is equal after either check. Then the game checks A against D, followed by B against D, and then C against D, and adds 1 to D if it is equal after any of the checks. If at any point any of B, C, or D would equal 21, they are set to 0 instead.

The final values of A, B, C, and D represent the locations of the Munchlax trees. The number can be treated as a 0-based index into the list of Honey tree locations above. That is, if A = 10, that means the Honey tree on Route 212 south can contain Munchlax.

Pokémon groups

When the game generates a species of wild Pokémon to appear on a honey tree, it first chooses from one of three possible "groups" of Pokémon before choosing a Pokémon from within that group. These groups are shown in the table below. The 17 non-Munchlax trees have a 70% chance of choosing from Group A, a 20% chance of choosing from Group B, a 0% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 10% chance of choosing no encounter. The four Munchlax trees have a 20% chance of choosing from Group A, a 70% chance of choosing from Group B, a 1% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 9% chance of choosing no encounter.

Diamond/Pearl Group C
(0%/1%)
Platinum
Group A (70%/20%) Group B (20%/70%) Group A (70%/20%) Group B (20%/70%)
Pokémon 1 (40%) Wurmple Combee Munchlax Combee Burmy
Pokémon 2 (20%) SilcoonD

Burmy Wurmple Cherubi
Pokémon 3 (20%) Combee Cherubi Burmy Combee
Pokémon 4 (10%) Burmy Aipom Cherubi Aipom
Pokémon 5 (5%) Cherubi Heracross Aipom Aipom
Pokémon 6 (5%) Aipom Wurmple Aipom Heracross

When honey is slathered on a tree, if that tree is also the last tree that was slathered, there is a 90% chance that the game will pick the same group as it did the last time. If the tree's last slathering did not produce any Pokémon, it will be treated[citation needed] as if the tree had selected Group A.

Shaking

Very roughly speaking, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is a rare Pokémon will appear. The amount that a tree shakes is randomly decided depending on the group that was selected for the tree.

Shakes Group A Group B Group C
0 20% 1% 1%
1 59% 20% 1%
2 20% 75% 5%
3 1% 4% 93%

Pokémon

If the tree being slathered was also the last tree slathered (and the tree is empty), there is a 90% chance that the tree will attract a Pokémon from the same group that was used before. This will render the rates below inaccurate. See above for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

Oddities

Using Honey (or Sweet Scent) inside a shop or Poké Mart will cause the descriptive text of purchasable items to vanish until the player leaves the shop. This is known as the Honey shop glitch and only occurs in Diamond and Pearl.

In the anime

Barry slathering honey on a tree

In Some Enchanted Sweetening!, Cheryl wanted to find Enchanted Honey, the honey gathered by Combee, in the Eterna Forest. With the help of Ash and his friends, and with her Mothim leading the way, she located the hive of a Vespiquen and its many worker Combee. After helping defend the hive from Team Rocket, the Vespiquen shared some of its Enchanted Honey with Cheryl, Ash, his friends, and some of their Pokémon. All of them loved the Enchanted Honey, except for Brock's Croagunk, who looked disgusted by the sweet flavor.

Some Honey was shown again in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, where it attracted a Munchlax, much like in the games.

In a flashback in Historical Mystery Tour!, it was revealed that Barry used Honey to attract what would become his Heracross.

In the TCG

Honey is held by Combee (Stormfront 57).

Trivia

  • Honey may originally have been planned for Generation II, where unused text refers to an item called Sweet Honey (Japanese: あまいミツ Sweet Honey), which could be used to attract Pokémon by slathering it on a tree and waiting about a day, nearly identical to its behavior in Generation IV. The concept was probably split into Headbutt trees and the move Sweet Scent.
