Honey Trees in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are your ticket to rare Pokemon, or they are if you’re lucky. And if you are, you’ll want to know which ‘mon you can get from these spawn points.
This guide contains a complete list of the Pokemon you can get from Honey Trees and how to attract them. It also contains all of the locations for Honey Trees in Pokemon BDSP.
The 21 of them scattered around Sinnoh have a chance of attracting some unique critters, including Munchlax and Heracross, though you’ll likely go through a fair bit of Honey before you encounter them.
How to Attract Pokemon to Honey Trees in BDSP
Honey Trees are golden and slightly rounded, making them pretty hard to miss. You’ll need to slather Honey on them, obviously, and you’ll get the chance to do that after clearing Team Galactic out of the Valley Windworks.
Speak with the man in Floaroma’s flower meadow, and he’ll let you buy Honey by the jar or in packs of 10. Always buy the packs of 10. Having to go back to Floaroma if you run out is a nuisance.
After you slather a tree, it takes six real-world hours until a Pokemon comes shuffling along to a Honey Tree. You’ll have a full day from that point to come back and check the tree before the ‘mon leaves, so try to keep up with where you’ve slathered.
Once you unlock map filters, you can use the town map to scroll through which trees have Honey, which ones are bare, and what trees have Pokemon visitors waiting for you.
What Pokemon Appear at Honey Trees? A Complete List
There’s a small set of Pokemon you’ll potentially come across at Honey Trees. The Grand Underground means most of them are no longer exclusive to the trees, but if you’re lucky, you can nab them early with Honey.
Pokemon BDSP have normal Honey Trees and special Honey Trees, though it’s random which trees end up being classed as special trees.
Munchlax will only appear from a special tree, though any other Pokemon has a chance of appearing at either kind. You can tell it’s a rare Pokemon if the tree is shaking violently.
