[[File:Honey Tree BDSP.png|thumb|250px|A Honey Tree in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]
'''Honey Trees''' are special trees in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] that {{player}}s can slather [[Honey]] on to attract [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Honey Tree Map BDSP.png|thumb|300px|Location of Honey Trees in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]
There are 21 Honey Trees located throughout the Sinnoh region in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]. If the player slathers Honey on a Honey Tree, a wild Pokémon may appear on the tree 6 real-life hours later. If a tree is left unchecked for 24 hours, both the Honey and any Pokémon will be gone. Changing the game system's clock will have no impact on the Honey Tree's timer.

Four of the 21 trees have a 1% chance to attract {{p|Munchlax}}; which four can do so are selected when the game begins, based on the player's [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID number]], meaning that the only way to change which trees can attract Munchlax is to start a new game. Trees which can attract Munchlax are also more likely to attract rarer wild Pokémon.

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]], {{IV}}s, and other random values are determined when it is encountered.

The timer only tracks minutes passed and uses new counters when entering [[Battles]] and the game [[Menu]]; as such, additional seconds spent are not accounted when transitioning from the overworld to these actions and vice-versa.

===Munchlax trees===
Which four Honey Trees can attract Munchlax depends on the player's Trainer ID and secret ID<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-34#post-3986326 Past Gen RNG Research | Page 34 | Smogon Forums]</ref> (referred to hereinafter as ''tid'' and ''sid'' respectively). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. ''tid''<sub>1</sub> and ''sid''<sub>1</sub> will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by <math>id \mod {256}</math>), while ''tid''<sub>2</sub> and ''sid''<sub>2</sub> will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <math>\lfloor id / 256 \rfloor</math>).

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

<math>
\begin{align}
A &= sid_1 \mod {21} \\
B &= sid_2 \mod {21} \\
C &= tid_1 \mod {21} \\
D &= tid_2 \mod {21}
\end{align}
</math>

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, using the indices listed in the table of Honey Tree locations above. For example, if ''A'' = 10, that means the southern Honey Tree on Route 212 can attract 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.

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{{fact}} as if the tree had selected Group A.

===Shaking===
In general, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is for a rare Pokémon to appear. The number of times a tree shakes is randomly decided depending on the group that was selected for the tree.
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | Group A
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | Group B
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | {{tt|Group C|Munchlax}}
|- style="background:#fff"
| 0 || 20% || 1% || 1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| 1 || 59% || 20% || 1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| 2 || 20% || 75% || 5%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 3
| style="background:#fff" | 1%
| style="background:#fff" | 4%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 93%
|}

So, based on the number of times a tree shakes, a Pokémon from each group will have the following chance to appear.

For normal trees:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 0
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 1
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 2
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | 3
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group A || 98.6% || 91.2% || 48.3% || 46.7%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Group B
| style="background:#fff" | 1.4%
| style="background:#fff" | 8.8%
| style="background:#fff" | 51.7%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 53.3%
|}

For Munchlax trees:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background:#{{gold color}}; border:3px solid #{{gold color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Shakes
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 0
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 1
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}" | 2
! style="background:#{{gold color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | 3
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group A || 84.9% || 45.7% || 7.1% || 5.1%
|- style="background:#fff"
| Group B || 14.9% || 54.2% || 92.8% || 71.2%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{tt|Group C|Munchlax}}
| style="background:#fff" | 0.2%
| style="background:#fff" | 0.04%
| style="background:#fff" | 0.1%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 23.7%
|}

===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, rendering the rates below inaccurate. See [[#Pokémon groups|above]] for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

==In animation==
[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|thumb|250px|[[Honey]] being slathered on a Honey Tree in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', [[Cheryl]] was shown to have slathered a tree with Honey, which attracted many {{t|Grass}}- and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, as well as [[Ash's Aipom]]. After catching a {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}} that had been lured in by the Honey, Cheryl explained to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that she had wanted to catch a male Burmy so that she could evolve it into {{p|Mothim}} and use its help to find the Enchanted Honey, which is Honey gathered by {{p|Combee}} in the [[Amber Castle]], located deep in [[Eterna Forest]], and is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. In ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]'', Cheryl managed to obtain some Enchanted Honey from a {{p|Vespiquen}}.

Some Honey was shown again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', used by {{TRT}} in an attempt to catch [[Aaron]]'s Vespiquen. It instead attracted a {{p|Munchlax}}, much like in the games.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Honey was planted on a tree by a young boy named [[Nathaniel]], which attracted a {{p|Heracross}}.

In a flashback in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Barry}} had used Honey to attract a Heracross, which he then {{pkmn2|caught}}. He repeated this same scenario in an illusionary adventure that a {{tc|Clown}} sent him to.

==In the manga==
[[File:Honey tree DPA.png|thumb|200px|A Honey Tree in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS343|Honey for Combee]]'', as {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} ventured into [[Floaroma Meadow]], Diamond and his Pokémon smelled Honey and ran off to lick it off a tree, only to be attacked by a swarm of angry {{p|Combee}}, whom the Honey had been meant for. Later, the trio ventured into the [[Valley Windworks]], where they met [[Mars]], who filled the Windworks control room with {{m|Sandstorm|sand}} in order to do away with them. Pearl and Platinum ended up outside the building and were able to uncover Diamond's location inside the building and save him thanks to a group of Combee being attracted by the scent of Honey on Diamond and his Pokémon.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In ''[[DPA05|Find Munchlax!!]]'', a {{tc|Collector}} used Honey in an attempt to lure out a {{p|Munchlax}}. However, the Honey instead ended up being eaten away by [[Hareta]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Honey may originally have been planned for [[Generation II]], where [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|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.
