==Growth and harvest==
===Generation III===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 12 hours, with 3 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 2-6 Berries.

===Generation IV===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 32 hours, with 8 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 1-5 Berries.

===Generation VI===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 48 hours, with 8 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 1-20 Berries. During its growth, watering the plant will add 0.5 Berries to the final harvest, weeding it will add 1.5, and removing a pest will add 3.

==Uses==
===Berry Blending===
{{BerryBlender|LiteBlue|Gray|Indigo}}

===Berry Crushing===
At 100% performance, this Berry will contribute 200 units of powder.

===Poffin Cooking===
At 100% performance, a Hondew Berry can produce a Level 12 (maybe higher) Dry-Bitter Poffin when cooking alone.

===Used on a Pokémon===
This Berry increases a Pokémon's [[friendship]] by and lowers its Special Attack [[Effort values|EVs]] by ten points (but not below 0). It can only be used outside of battle, and only has this effect in {{game|Emerald}} and later games.

==In the manga==
[[File:Hondew Berry Adventures.png|thumb|100px|A Hondew Berry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS318|Sneaky Like Shedinja II]]'', Hondew Berries were some of the Berries that {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} sliced with {{m|Leaf Blade}} for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to eat.

In ''[[PS437|The Final Dimensional Duel VII]]'', [[Jupiter]] used a Hondew Berry to turn her {{p|Tangrowth}}'s {{m|Natural Gift}} into a {{type|Ground}} move while battling against [[Marley]]'s {{p|Arcanine}}.

==Trivia==

* While the names of the Hondew Berry indicate it to be based on a melon, it may also resemble a ripe [http://abuse-drug.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Raw-opium-oozing-out-of-the-poppy-seed-pods.jpg opium pod].

PorkchopSammy: /* Opium */

==Opium==
I came across the Hondew/Opium issue by sheer chance. The Hondew is clearly purported as a honeydew, but it doesn't look like any kind melon; melons don't have spots.

Ripe opium pods do have neat rows of blobs oozing out of them, and are green and upright like the Hondew berry image. They also have the effect of making the user 'weak but happy'.

Some people may find the idea distasteful, but I didn't put it in there - I just noticed it. In a world where happy balloons try to drag children to hell and baby lizards wake up in the skeletal carcas of their mother, I don't think it's a stretch.

:I don't object to it on the grounds of tastefulness, but I do think you're stretching. The orbs on the Hondew Berry don't look like "blobs" nor like they're "oozing out of" the berry; they simply look like orbs attached to it, in my opinion. I think it's plausible that they're just an ornamentation Game Freak made up wholecloth to make the berry more visually interesting than a boring, plain melon. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:48, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
::There are also plenty of spotted melons. The watermelon, for a familiar example, is sometimes spotted. The Santa Claus melon has spots. It could even be based on a horned melon (also called kiwano), which not only has spots, but spikes as well. --[[User:Felthry|Felthry]] ([[User talk:Felthry|talk]]) 17:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

:::::It should also be noted, PorkchopSammy, that you're making a huge assumption that raising happiness and lowering EVs is meant in any way to parallel your characterization of opium as "making the user weak but happy." After all, there are also five other Berries that do that, none of which appear to have any similarity to anything drug-related.

==Growth and harvest==
===Generation III===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 12 hours, with 3 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 2-6 Berries.

===Generation IV===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 32 hours, with 8 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 1-5 Berries.

===Generation VI===
A Hondew Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 48 hours, with 8 hours per stage. A Hondew tree will yield 1-20 Berries. During its growth, watering the plant will add 0.5 Berries to the final harvest, weeding it will add 1.5, and removing a pest will add 3.

==Uses==
===Berry Blending===
{{BerryBlender|LiteBlue|Gray|Indigo}}

===Berry Crushing===
At 100% performance, this Berry will contribute 200 units of powder.

===Poffin Cooking===
At 100% performance, a Hondew Berry can produce a Level 12 (maybe higher) Dry-Bitter Poffin when cooking alone.

===Used on a Pokémon===
This Berry increases a Pokémon's [[friendship]] by and lowers its Special Attack [[Effort values|EVs]] by ten points (but not below 0). It can only be used outside of battle, and only has this effect in {{game|Emerald}} and later games.

==In the manga==
[[File:Hondew Berry Adventures.png|thumb|100px|A Hondew Berry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS318|Sneaky Like Shedinja II]]'', Hondew Berries were some of the Berries that {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} sliced with {{m|Leaf Blade}} for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} to eat.

In ''[[PS437|The Final Dimensional Duel VII]]'', [[Jupiter]] used a Hondew Berry to turn her {{p|Tangrowth}}'s {{m|Natural Gift}} into a {{type|Ground}} move while battling against [[Marley]]'s {{p|Arcanine}}.

==Trivia==
* While the names of the Hondew Berry indicate it to be based on a melon, it more closely resembles a ripe [http://abuse-drug.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Raw-opium-oozing-out-of-the-poppy-seed-pods.jpg opium pod].
