Honey Tree

Honey Trees are special trees in the Sinnoh region that s can slather Honey on to attract wild Pokémon.
==In the core series games==
There are 21 Honey Trees located throughout the Sinnoh region in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, 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 ; which four can do so are selected when the game begins, based on the player's Trainer ID number and 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, 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 IDPast Gen RNG Research | Page 34 | Smogon Forums (referred to hereinafter as tid and sid respectively). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. tid1 and sid1 will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by id % 256), while tid2 and sid2 will refer to the higher byte (calculable by id / 256).
The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:
:A = sid1 % 21
:B = sid2 % 21
:C = tid1 % 21
:D = tid2 % 21
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. 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.
 	Diamond and Pearl	Diamond and Pearl	Diamond and Pearl	Group C()	Platinum 	Platinum
 	Group A (70%/20%)	Group A (70%/20%)	Group B (20%/70%)	Group C()	Group A (70%/20%)	Group B (20%/70%)
Pokémon 1 (40%)	 	 	 	 	 	
Pokémon 2 (20%)	 	 	 	 	 	
Pokémon 3 (20%)	 	 	 	 	 	
Pokémon 4 (10%)	 	 	 	 	 	
Pokémon 5 (5%) 	 	 	 	 	 	
Pokémon 6 (5%) 	 	 	 	 	 	
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.
===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.
Shakes	Group A	Group B	
0 	20% 	1% 	1%
1 	59% 	20% 	1%
2 	20% 	75% 	5%
3 	1% 	4% 	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:
Shakes 	0 	1 	2 	3
Group A	98.6%	91.2%	48.3%	46.7%
Group B	1.4% 	8.8% 	51.7%	53.3%
For Munchlax trees:
Shakes 	0 	1 	2 	3
Group A	84.9%	45.7%	7.1% 	5.1%
Group B	14.9%	54.2%	92.8%	71.2%
 	0.2% 	0.04%	0.1% 	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 above for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* 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.
