Why isn't Budew learning Leaf Storm through breeding in Platinum?

Jan. 31, 2021

So I recently decided to replay through Platinum alongside some friends and I wanted to give my Roserade Leaf Storm and Spikes. I bred a Roselia with a Victreebel that knew Leaf storm and that worked out fine and now I’m trying to breed the offspring of the first pairing with a Cacturne that knows spikes, but every time I hatch a Budew all it knows is Absorb and Spikes but not Leaf Storm. Any idea why?

If the father or,starting in Generation VI, the motherknows any specific Egg Moves that the baby can learn, the baby will inherit the move.

sourcePlatinum is before gen 6, so mothers can’t pass egg moves in Platinum. I’m pretty sure the specific combination of spikes and leaf storm is incompatible on Roserade in Platinum.
