Back in “ye olde dayes” of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal you were able to get into battles with certain Pokémon by knocking them out of trees by using the move Headbutt.
Now before you get too excited and start thinking that they’ve brought this feature back let me tell you something, they haven’t. But Pokémon Diamond and Pearl do feature something quite similar, but quite a lot stranger.
This new feature involves spreading a new item, known as Honey (Not "Sweet Honey", just Honey) on certain trees around Sinnoh to entice certain Pokémon to them.
You first get Honey when you save the man in Floaroma Meadow from Team Galactic. From then on, one of the easiest ways to get more Honey is to buy it from the man for 100 Pokedollars.
Other than that, you'll will find Honey numerous times while playing through the game and you can even get it from Combee's special ability. It's like they're desperate for you to get your hands on the sweet stuff!
To use your newly gained Honey you will have to find one of the many big brown trees dotted around Sinnoh.
Found one?
Good.
Now, walk up to the tree and press the A button.
After a quick schpiel about the air smelling sweet, you are given the option to spread your Honey on it. Don't question it, just do it. Once you have done this you can go. Yes, leave that tree alone for a while. Come back at some point within twelve hours and you should find a Pokemon there, waiting to be battled by you!
If you wait too long then your Honey will have gone to waste so make sure you remember to come back. I know about this personally, I never remember.
Usually, all you'll find is a Wurmple, or possibly Silcoon or Cascoon, but don't worry, there are cooler Pokemon to be found using Honey. The best thing about it is that these Pokemon can only be found using Honey.
These are the Pokémon that are obtainable only through using Honey:
- Wurmple
- Silcoon
- Cascoon
- Aipom
- Heracross
- Burmy
- Combee
- Cherubi
- Munchlax (Only on the trees outide the Iron Works and Valley Windworks)
UPDATE!: After eight hours, all honeyed trees will contain a Pokémon (assuming they haven't run away). Remember - the longer you wait, the higher the chance of the Pokémon escaping.
Also, are you fed up of getting male Combees when you really need that elusive female? Fear not! If you save before checking a tree, and get the wrong gender, switch off the DS. The Pokémon species itself will remain unchanged, but its level and gender can change. Also useful if you want a higher-level Pokémon of the same species for quick evolution.

Nice guide! Well done (Although i thought wurmple and the sil/cascoons could be obtained in eterna forest as well. I definitely found beautifly there.
i only did three hunnies but it was combee each time so i only caught the first and moved on but now my ds went boom.
How does munchlax get in a tree.
Munchlax is probably only at the base of the tree when you get there... and if I had known I could have gotten him from Honey trees, I wouldn't have transferred my Snorlax from LeafGreen! Ah well, it's Lv.5 and I can always Ditto 'til I get a female, so no harm done...
I just traded a Snorlax and used the Full Incense to get Munchlax. Probably none of my Pokemon will be gotten from a honey tree.
Isn't cherubi found and not cherrim?
How long do I have to wait for the pokemon to show up
?
Me Want Cherubi!!!!
Also, why is it impossible to catch Chatot on the way to Sunyshore? You can see them, but they won't be caught! I just traded with a guy in Eterna Condominiums.
...You must be a pretty bad player, because they're perfectly catchable.
Mar 10, I think that someone in PUK said this but you have to wait 6 hours.
Thanx 4 the page!^^
Oh, wait.... I need to go to my Hoiney Trees!o.o OHNOES1!!!
Actually, I heard that you have to wait for 12 hours. But maybe I'm wrong.
cheese on toast is cheesey

Dear Officer Jordan:
No, please don't insult me. I threw at least 24 Ultra Balls and it didn't catch whatsoever. and with 1hp approx. anyway!
Hmm...I caught my Chatot within 1 ultra ball,it was asleep,and in the red area...So try and get it in a status condition and have its HP on red.
