Once Honey is slathered on one of the trees and at least 6 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.

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 either of two similar sets of Pokémon, [[#Pokémon|described below]]. Munchlax trees have a 1% chance of attracting a Munchlax, and a 9% chance of attracting no Pokémon; other trees have a 10% chance of attracting no 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. This is helpful for finding a male or female {{p|Burmy}}, which will have different [[evolution]]s depending on their gender, or {{p|Combee}}, which only evolves if female.

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 {{PDollar}}100 each.

Six units of Honey are hidden in Floaroma Meadow and may be found using the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} Pokétch app. 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>

* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta]] text has been found that mentions an item called "Sweet Honey," which could be used to attract Pokémon. It was possibly replaced by the [[move]] {{m|Sweet Scent}} and the ability to use {{m|Headbutt}} on small trees throughout the [[Johto]] region.

* Using honey (or {{m|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 [[List of glitches in Generation IV#Honey shop glitch|honey shop glitch]] and only occurs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
