===Effect===
When used in [[tall grass]], Honey acts in a manner similar to the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}, starting a [[wild Pokémon]] battle. In [[Generation VI]], this will trigger a [[Horde Encounter]] if they are present in the area; however, in {{g|X and Y}}, it cannot cause a wild encounter if the overworld [[weather]] is not clear.
When used in [[tall grass]], Honey triggers a [[wild Pokémon]] battle (like {{m|Sweet Scent}} as a [[field move]]). In [[Generation VI]], this will trigger a [[Horde Encounter]] if they are present in the area; however, in {{g|X and Y}}, it cannot cause a wild encounter if the overworld [[weather]] is not clear.


In [[Sinnoh]], Honey can be slathered on [[#Honey trees|certain trees]] in order to attract Pokémon.

====Oddities====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} only, 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 {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Honey shop glitch}}.

===Honey trees===
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 Honey tree DP.png|thumb|A Honey tree in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
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 {{p|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]], {{IV}}s, and other random values may change.

====Munchlax trees====
Which four Honey trees can contain Munchlax depends on the player's [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and {{DL|Trainer ID number|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 herein as ''tid'' and ''sid''). 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 <code>''id'' % 256</code>), while ''tid''<sub>2</sub> and ''sid''<sub>2</sub> will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <code>''id'' / 256</code>).
 
The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:
:<code>''A'' = ''sid''<sub>1</sub> [[wp:modulo operation|%]] 21</code>
:<code>''B'' = ''sid''<sub>2</sub> % 21</code>
:<code>''C'' = ''tid''<sub>1</sub> % 21</code>
:<code>''D'' = ''tid''<sub>2</sub> % 21</code>
 
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.

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====
Very roughly speaking, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is a rare Pokémon will 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 the different groups 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. This will render the rates below inaccurate. See [[#Pokémon groups|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 {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Honey shop glitch}} and only occurs in Diamond and Pearl.

In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', Honey was slathered on a tree, attracting several wild {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon as well Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and a wild {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}}. The Honey appeared to have been slathered by [[Cheryl]], who wanted to catch a male Burmy to help her find the Enchanted Honey. Cheryl later explained to the group that Enchanted Honey was Honey gathered by {{p|Combee}} in the [[Amber Castle]], located deep in [[Eterna Forest]], which is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. With the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and with her {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}} leading the way, she located the hive of a {{p|Vespiquen}} and its many worker Combee. After helping defend the hive from {{TRT}}, 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.

* The Honey is present in the game data of [[Pokémon GO]], but is unused.
* 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.

Honey (Japanese: あまいミツ Sweet Honey) is an item that was introduced in Generation IV. It can be used to attract wild Pokémon.

In the core series games

Price

Games Cost Sell price
DPPt $100 $50
HGSS N/A $50
BW N/A $150
B2W2 $300 $150
XYORAS N/A $150
SMUSUM $300 $150

In the Generation V games, the Honey can be sold to the gourmet maniac on Route 5 for $500.

Effect

When used in tall grass, Honey triggers a wild Pokémon battle (like Sweet Scent as a field move). In Generation VI, this will trigger a Horde Encounter if they are present in the area; however, in Pokémon X and Y, it cannot cause a wild encounter if the overworld weather is not clear.

In Sinnoh, Honey can be slathered on Honey Trees in order to attract wild Pokémon.

Oddities

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only, 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.

201

Though unavailable as an item in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Honey is mentioned as being a food produced by the Beedrill and Combee of Nectar Meadow, overseen by their queen and manager Vespiquen. Due to its nutritious properties, Budew heads to Nectar Meadow to obtain some Honey for her ailing mother, despite being warned that the Pokémon are usually on edge during their Honey-making season. Misunderstood as a Honey thief, Budew is rescued in time by the player and partner from the angry Beedrill and Combee. After they are defeated, Vespiquen intervenes and resolves the misunderstanding, and gifts Budew with some Honey.

In the anime

Honey in the anime

In Some Enchanted Sweetening!, Honey was slathered on a tree, attracting several wild Bug-type and Grass-type Pokémon as well Ash's Aipom and Cheryl's Burmy. The Honey appeared to have been slathered by Cheryl, who wanted to catch a male Burmy to help her find the Enchanted Honey. Cheryl later explained to the group that Enchanted Honey was Honey gathered by Combee in the Amber Castle, located deep in Eterna Forest, which is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. 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!, used by Team Rocket in an attempt to catch Aaron's Vespiquen. It instead attracted a Munchlax, much like in the games.

In Strategy Begins at Home!, Honey was planted on a tree by a young boy named Nathaniel, which attracted a Heracross.

In a flashback in Historical Mystery Tour!, it was revealed that Barry used Honey to attract a Heracross, which he then caught.

In the manga

Honey in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Honey for Combee, as Diamond, Pearl, and 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 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 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.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

In Find Munchlax!!, a Collector used Honey in an attempt to lure out a Munchlax. However, the Honey instead ended up being eaten away by Hareta.

In the TCG

Stormfront Combee

Honey is held by Combee (Stormfront 57).

Trivia

Honey in Pokémon GO
  • The Honey is present in the game data of Pokémon GO, but is unused.
  • 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.
  • Regular honey has been seen in various Pokémon canons, even before its official debut in Generation IV:
