Honey Tree Analysis
Well this is one of my first posts but I've been looking for some other people's opinions about it. Honey trees. Who has used them?
Have you have ever caught a Munchlax or Heracross on them? If you have do you remember the tree it was? I have been trying to see if it is random what pokemon appears on the trees or if there are certain ones that will give you a certain pokemon. So far from my tests, I've worked off of about 10 trees, I've caught two heracross and they were both at the tree on route 218. The other trees I tried produced a plethora of the other pokemon you can catch on them. I've come upon another interesitng thing I've noticed but haven't been able to confirm. The time span to catch a pokemon on a tree is between 6 and 12 hours after you put the honey on it from what I've read on several sites and have witnessed myself. On some of my trees I've tested, between 3 trees it happend about 5 times, the honey will be gone before the 6 hour mark. I'm not sure but I think it might be linked to Munchlax. Mere speculation but it would be nice if it were true. Any input would be nice even if it's about how the only reason you use the trees is to get a female combee... |
Munchlax can only be caught on the honey tree in front of Fuego Ironworks. But it's still really rare. Combees are pretty rare as well. It's taken me an average of 8 hours for a poke to get on the tree, and putting more honey on, from what I know, doesn't help at all.
|
If I may ask, what's the deal with a female Combee?
I finally got around to buying a DS Lite and Diamond like a month ago, so I'm still fairly new haha. I haven't beaten the game yet. I always put honey on trees, forget about them, and by the time I go back the honey's gone haha. |
What do you mean "the deal"?
What's so special? A Combee can only evolve into Vespiquen when it is female, thus female Combees are in a much higher demand. Yeah, you have to try varying amounts of times and see which amount of time works best to keep a poke on the tree. |
Hahah well that would make sense. I'm not saying I don't know how long the honey takes, I was just saying that I always forget about it. Thanks. I think I might go try it out now, and check back in the morning to see what I can find.
|
Alrighty =) GOod luck with that. I just started Pearl over so I might try to catch a female combee myself. =p

Yeah, although combees are pretty rare, even without getting a female.
|
The Female Combees really aren't that hard to catch. If you save before a tree and then find one with a combee you can soft reset until you get a female. Out of all the times I used the trees I'd say I had gotten at least 30 combees and maybe a fourth of those were female without soft resetting. So it's not impossible just sometimes time consuming.
Fuego Ironworks? Yeah I hadn't tried that tree yet but now that you mentioned it maybe I will direct my tests on that tree for now. |
Yup. It's a fact that Munchlax only appear there.
|
Munchlax can appear on any honey tree. The appearance rate is 1%. I caught mine on Route 214. It took me over a year to encounter one.
The reason it seems the honey disappears is because it's never applied in the first place. There's a "glitch" of sorts in the game where sometimes after you slather the honey, it doesn't register. What I always did was press A in front of the tree to make sure it says the honey is there, then press B to cancel before applying more honey. |
I had about 5 heracross but no munchlax yet;/
|
Well a glitch would make sense. I was hoping more of a munchlax thing but thats cool too. I had actually started making sure it registered the honey I put on there by doing what you said. I thought I was going crazy there for a minute and not putting the honey on there like I was supposed to be doing.
The hunt for munchlax is still on. |
I caught both of my Heracross on Route 208. It's the tree near the Berry Man's house.
|
I caught a heracross or fainted it can't remember cause I know I already had one, at the valley windworks honey tree.

20 Trees X 3 times a day X 9 days = 540 attempts. And that was just that week, not to mention I know I've tried over 500 times in the year before that. Needless to say, I don't play the lottery much. :disappoin |

Wow thats alot. I started out doing 5 trees at a time 2 times a day (thats all I have time for with my work schedule) and did it for about a month. I only managed to catch 2 heracross that whole time. I can see by everyone elses responses here and from other places I've collected some data that it really is pretty random where they appear. So I suppose I can just go breed some snorlax now lol. |
I gave up and bred one of my Snorlaxes in FireRed. Then migrated the offspring and bred that with Full Incense to get Munchlax.

I used the honey tree and just get a wurmple and i finnaly found a munchlax and had no pok'eballs i then got some and went beck after soft reseting and guess what it was another wurmple and you cant just go and capture a snorlax in this version which is what i wanted a munchlax for.
|
I've caught Heracross in many different trees. Aipoms too. I saw Combees a lot and would soft reset until I got a female, I still have a few in my boxes. I never caught a munchlax, I ended up having to trade for one, either on GTS or on Wi-Fi.
|
Combees are rare? Why the heck do I find them in like 5 trees in one day O_o?
As for other pokemon, I keep finding Wurmples *grrr* and Aipoms. Found a couple of Cherubis though. Havent found a single Heracross or Munchlax yet... I only managed to find one Burmy if they're rare that is... |
Munchlax: 1%
Heracross: 4% Burmy: 15% Aipom: 15% Cherubi: 15% Combee: 20% Wurmple: 30% And that's how rare each Pokemon found on the Honey Trees are. Notice how it adds up to 100%. :o And yeah, the rarity of Pokemon vs. different trees always stays the same no matter which tree you're using. |
WOW! Munchlax is that hard to find?
lol now wonder I never find it in the honey trees (I always get Wurmple and Burmy) |
