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.

Wild Pokémon

This subarea has no random wild table or source-scripted Pokémon encounter. Gifts and event access are listed when applicable.

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%

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.

Trainers

Route order follows event-object order, then source-script order. Teams show held items and moves only where Platinum explicitly defines them. Rewards use the engine formula: highest party level × 4 × trainer-class multiplier.
