Town Map: All Map Features and How to Use

Add to Watchlist

Town Map Features.png

The town map lets you fly to other towns or cities, find out which berry trees are ready for harvest, and check up on your honey trees. Read on to learn how to use the town map and its new features!

All Town Map Features

Fly to Other Towns and Cities

Fly to different towns and cities by pressing X to open the menu screen, then selecting the Town Map. Next, simply select which town or city you want to fly to by pressing A. Confirm your selection by pressing A again and wait for a Staraptor to fly you to the area you selected.

Do note that you'll need to get the Fly HM and defeat Maylene at the Veilstone City Gym first before you can use this function.

Check on Your Berry Trees

Check which berry trees are ready for harvest by opening your Town Map on the menu screen. Next, press the + button on your Switch to bring up Location Info on the upper right corner of the screen. Cycle through the icons using the L and R button until you get to the berry icon. The berry icons that will show up on your map indicate which berry trees are ready for harvest.

Unfortunately, this feature won't show you where you have planted berry trees, as well as the areas that are still available for planting.

Check on Your Honey Trees

Check Which Honey Trees Are Ready to be Slathered With Honey

Go to your Town Map and press the + button on your Switch to bring up Location Info once more. Cycle through the icons using the L and R button until you get to the white honey tree icon. This will pull up all the honey trees that are ready to be slathered with honey.

Check Which Honey Trees Are Slathered With Honey

Cycle through the Location Info menu again until you get to the colored honey tree icon. Doing so will show you which honey trees have already been slathered with honey. Now, all you need to do is to wait for a few hours until the tree attracts a Pokemon!

Check Which Honey Trees Have Attracted Pokemon

Again, cycle through the honey and berry trees menu until you get to the sparkling honey tree icon. All the sparkling honey trees you will see on your Town Map are all the ones that have attracted Pokemon. Fly to the area where the honey tree is for a chance to catch a rare Pokemon!

How to Get the Town Map

Pokemon BDSP - Jubilife City Deliver the Parcel to Rival.png

You can get the Town Map by delivering the Parcel to your rival in Jubilife City. The Town Map can now be accessed through the menu screen instead of just being in your bag. It is an important item which lets you see the entire region of Sinnoh, fly to different areas in the region, and even check on your trees and berries!
