Honey: Difference between revisions

'''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 caught in the wild by use of these trees.

 

It was originally planned for [[Generation II]], where unused text refers to an item called '''Sweet Honey''' in English and '''あまいミツ''' in Japanese, which could be used to attract Pokémon by slathering it on a tree and waiting about a day. The concept was probably split into [[Headbutt (move)/Wild Pokémon|Headbutt tree]]s and the [[move]] {{m|Sweet Scent}}.

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 one at a time from him in Floaroma Meadow for {{PDollar}}100 each.

Multiple units of Honey (two in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, six in {{v2|Platinum}}) are hidden in Floaroma Meadow and may be found using the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} Pokétch app. In Platinum, after the initial six hidden Honeys are found, two will regenerate in the same locations each day thereafter.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/946308/56280 Liquefy's Hidden Items Guide for Platinum]</ref>

Honey can also be obtained easily through the use of {{p|Combee}}'s special Ability, {{a|Honey Gather}}. If a Combee is not already [[held item|holding an item]], it can randomly collect Honey after a battle, with the odds of finding Honey increasing as the Combee levels up. {{pkmn2|wild|Wild}} Combee are always holding a unit of Honey.

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.

There are 21 Honey trees spread throughout Sinnoh. Four of them have a chance to attract {{p|Munchlax}}; these trees are selected based on player information when the game begins, and cannot be changed short of starting a new game. Any tree has a 90% chance to attract a Pokémon from one of two groups of Pokémon, described below. Munchlax trees have a 1% chance of attracting a Munchlax and a 9% chance of not attracting any Pokémon, while all other trees have a 10% chance of not attracting any Pokémon.

The Pokémon is determined at the time of slathering the tree. Saving the game, resetting, and re-checking a tree after a Pokémon has appeared will not change the Pokémon, but its [[level]], [[gender]], [[Nature]], [[individual values|IVs]], and other random values will change.

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''₁ and ''sid''₁ will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by <code>''id'' % 256</code>), while ''tid''₂ and ''sid''₂ will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <code>''id'' / 256</code>).

Whereas most areas only need to choose a random Pokémon for the player to encounter, honey trees must first choose one of three groups of Pokémon (shown in the table below) before choosing which Pokémon therein for the player to encounter. For most honey trees, only two of the groups (A and B) can actually be chosen. These trees also have a 10% chance of not producing a Pokémon when honey is slathered on them. Munchlax trees, however, have a 1% chance of finding a Munchlax and a 9% chance of not producing an 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 as if the tree had selected Group A.

In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', [[Cheryl]] wanted to find Enchanted Honey, the honey gathered by {{p|Combee}}, in the [[Eterna Forest]]. 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.

Some Honey was shown again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', where it attracted a {{p|Munchlax}}, much like in the games.
