Floaroma Town and Meadow

Collect berries, buy Honey, and recover the Works Key.

Source maps9Encounter rows0Trainer rows2Visible / hidden6 / 11

Route Plan

Check Floaroma's houses, enter the meadow after the grunt confrontation, defeat both grunts, receive the Works Key, and buy Honey if desired.

  • Honey-tree encounters become available six hours after slathering and expire after 24 hours. The dedicated system table gives the source-extracted groups and slot rates.

Routes and encounters on this page are compiled from 9 pret map headers.

Honey Tree source table

Platinum has 21 Honey Trees. Four are selected from the four bytes of the save's full Trainer ID modulo 21; collisions advance to the next tree, guaranteeing four eligible Munchlax trees. Honey lasts 24 hours and becomes encounter-ready after six hours. Re-slathering the same tree has a 90% chance to reuse its previous group.

GroupGroup rollSlots at 40/20/20/10/5/5%
Common group70% regular / 20% eligible Munchlax treeCombee 40%; Wurmple 20%; Burmy 20%; Cherubi 10%; Aipom 5%; Aipom 5%
Uncommon group20% regular / 70% eligible Munchlax treeBurmy 40%; Cherubi 20%; Combee 20%; Aipom 10%; Aipom 5%; Heracross 5%
Rare group0% regular / 1% eligible Munchlax treeMunchlax 40%; Munchlax 20%; Munchlax 20%; Munchlax 10%; Munchlax 5%; Munchlax 5%

Munchlax: the Rare group is selected 1% of the time only on the save's four eligible trees, and every slot in that group is Munchlax. It is therefore 1% per completed slather on an eligible tree, not 1% on every tree.
