It is the fifth move unlocked in the game, taught by Drilbur at Withered Wasteland. Rototiller is the gateway to Pokopia's farming system, enabling players to grow crops, flowers, and trees.

3131 Till large areas in one pass by holding ZR and walking in straight lines. This saves PP compared to tilling one block at a time.Crops planted in dry soil will grow slowly. Always water the tilled area with Water Gun before planting, or place the farm near a water source for passive irrigation.Some habitats require specific crops or flowers to attract Pokemon. Check the Habitat Dex to see which plants you need before tilling.Rototiller does not work on stone or sand. You can only till grass and dirt blocks.
