If slathering always results in a Pokémon (i.e. you don't have to reslather if you check the tree immediately afterwards), it sounds like you may be bumping into the 90% chance of X staying the same, i.e. giving you the same column as last time; that's very bad if you're looking for a Munchlax, because then the 1% chance of picking the Munchlax column becomes a 0.1% chance. You're going to want to ensure you slather or battle a Pokémon from another tree before you save in front of this one.
Since you say you're getting about the expected Munchlax tree percentages of Pokémon, that at least sounds like you are getting a different RNG seed each time, so presumably that's not the problem.

Hi, I am trying to get Munchlax, but after 200+ encounters, I still havent gotten one :/
I have the right tree, I started taking notes on which pokemon I get, and the percentage looks similar to the ones you give for the Munchlax tree. I am on emulator, and saved before slathering the honey. I then start the game (morning) swith to evening, then encounter a pokemon. I also always encounter the pokemon. Shouldn't I get 9% no encounters? As it is in the same column as Munchlax, does it mean I won't get a Munchlax either? Im pretty confused and start losing hope
Thank you so much for taking the time writing this page and all the other articles you have on this website. This has pretty much become my go-to resource for whenever I'm looking for in-depth information on these games.
That one's mostly just my personal playstyle showing, haha - I never run from battles so it rarely even occurs to me!
You mention to bring a high level Pokemon with lots of PP to move through the trees quickly. But can't I just run away from encounters I don't want? I've been doing two laps - one to encounter at every tree and another to reslather. If I'm running from every encounter, does that put me into the same column? Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this!
thank you so much for this, much needed in my search for heracross with one honey left…
Thank you very much, Butterfree.

Not exactly; just get familiar with the route, do a few trees together like suggested in the guide to avoid flying between every pair of trees, and as you do it you'll get quicker at it.
Oof… that is going to take a while, any recommendation to make it fast ?
No, you'd need to slather or battle a Pokémon from a different tree first.
Thank you for the answer, now I wonder the best way to go about it, because its very time-consuming doing the route every day for 3 times, and having to repeat it to slather honey again is even more time-consuming, so I was thinking would a double slather solve the issue of getting a Pokémon from the same column ?
I believe it's just about whether you slather it immediately after fighting the Pokémon, regardless of how the battle finished.
Hi, I am doing my "Honey Tree Farming route" To see If I can finally get a Munchlax on Pokémon platinum, realize I was making a big mistake by applying honey immediately after each encounter, but now I have a question,
Does it make a difference between capturing, fighting or just running away from the fight, when trying to hunt for Munchlax ?
Thanks a bunch for this, just got ahold of a platinum copy and I knew that finding a munchlax was gonna be a pain here's hoping this helps (I lucked out and windworks is one of my two trees so I can hunt early)
