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.
Encounter tables on this page cover 9 in-game maps.
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.
| Group | Group roll | Slots at 40/20/20/10/5/5% |
|---|---|---|
| Common group | 70% regular / 20% eligible Munchlax tree | Combee 40%; Wurmple 20%; Burmy 20%; Cherubi 10%; Aipom 5%; Aipom 5% |
| Uncommon group | 20% regular / 70% eligible Munchlax tree | Burmy 40%; Cherubi 20%; Combee 20%; Aipom 10%; Aipom 5%; Heracross 5% |
| Rare group | 0% regular / 1% eligible Munchlax tree | Munchlax 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.
