How can I get Seed Bomb on my Torterra?

I’m trying to get seed bomb on my Torterra, since it’s better than razor leaf, and I don’t want wood hammer (recoil sucks). It’s gen 4, and my Torterra is male so I can’t get anything from breeding. I’m doing it for in-game, for Bertha. I can’t do any trade shenanigans because I’m playing on an emulator. Am I just stuck with razor leaf?

First of all, iloveflareon123:

You would have to get a Ditto and breed your Torterra with it to get Seed Bomb.

That’s not how breeding works. (Actually I might get what you mean but this could be misinterpreted.) Also it’s impossible to get Ditto until the post-game.

Second of all, it does makesomedifference which Gen 4 game this is, because a tutor exists for it in Platinum, but at the same time, you also can’t get it until you reach the Survival Area, which is in the post-game. So, it may be inaccurate to say theonlyway to get Seed Bomb on it is through breeding, but if you want it before the Elite Four are defeated, you’d have to train an entire new Torterra.

Third, you’d be shocked how many Pokemon that aren’t grass types get Seed Bomb, you shouldn’t assume that the next one would be a grass type.

recoil sucks

It doesn’t suck enough that you should immediately exclude consideration of its use. Yes, other than Seed Bomb, Wood Hammer is your only other physical option, but I actually highly encourage it - don’t be afraid of it, it’s worth the recoil. I don’t know why people are so afraid of it.
