The only copy of TM09 Bullet Seed in Pokémon Platinum can be found on Route 204, just south of Floaroma Town. It is visible on the overworld.
To reach it, you must have beaten Gym Leader Roark in Oreburgh City, and then taught Rock Smash to a Pokémon using HM06.
Bullet Seed is a Physical, Grass-type attack that hits the opponent between two and five times per use.
TM09 Bullet Seed Location (Step-by-Step)
After defeating Gym Leader Roark in Oreburgh City, backtrack to Jubilife City and head out the northern entrance onto Route 204.
Make sure you have a Pokémon that knows the move Rock Smash, which you can use now that you have Oreburgh’s Coal Badge, or else you won’t be able to progress.
Keep heading north until you reach the Ravaged Path.
Enter the cave and then exit through the opening to the east, using Rock Smash to destroy the boulders in your way.
Once on the other side of Route 204, take the winding path northward.
Stick to the dirt path as it turns left, but instead of heading north toward Floaroma Town, keep going west. Move through the small gap between the two white fences and examine the Pokéball-looking item in the corner.
This is TM09 Bullet Seed.
Bullet Seed Details and Uses
Bullet Seed is a Grass-type, multi-strike attack move. When a Pokémon uses it in battle, it will inflict damage to the target Pokémon between two and five times.
| Bullet Seed Move Details | |
|---|---|
| Type | Grass |
| Category | Physical |
| Power | 25 |
| Accuracy | 100% |
| PP | 30 (max. 48) |
The number of hits a Pokémon launches while using Bullet Seed is not entirely random, and is in fact skewed toward the lower numbers, as detailed in the table below:
| Bullet Seed Hit Chances | |
|---|---|
| Hits | Percentage |
| 2 | 37.5% |
| 3 | 37.5% |
| 4 | 12.5% |
| 5 | 12.5% |
It is worth noting, however, that a Pokémon with the ability Skill Link will always hit 5 times with Bullet Seed, assuming the attack doesn’t miss.
Also, if a Pokémon holding the item Razor Fang uses Bullet Seed, each one of the 2-5 hits has an equal chance of making the opponent flinch.
