Teddiursa by default can learn the ability Pickup, and since the addition of hidden abilities it can have Honey Gather as well. in my own experience, Honey Gather appears to give honey at very similar if not the same rate as Pickup, but only giving honey (obviously). With these abilities, it learning covet and thief as well, it seems like a pretty natural candidate for a payday mon in my opinion. it also seems to relatively balance out (or even be worse) since you miss out on the Pickup loot table if you decide to go for Honey Gather instead.
im still pretty new in the grand scheme of the game so if theres an obvious oversight as to why this would be OP, my bad π just like the honey tree mons and looking for the best way to get a lot of honey!
