How the hunt works

Slather honey on a tree, then wait roughly six hours of real time before returning. Only a handful of trees give the rarest species, so pick your trees carefully and slather several at once.

Six hour wait per tree.

The base rate in Pokémon Diamond is 1 in 8,192. There is no Shiny Charm in this game, so the base rate is the best you can get.

Tips

  • Slather every tree you pass so you always have one ready.
