Move Tutor on Emerald
 
Substitute can't be bred onto anything with a chain. It doesn't count as a TM move in the movepools so it wont work. I tried it when breeding for a Sub-seeding Grovyle. However, cybermew should have no problem finding a Substitute tutor as there is one on FR, LG, XD and Emerald.

Ew sceptile.
 
You can chan breed it - starting with a Kecleon.
I'll try and find it..
Here we are.

Kecleon -> Seviper -> Sceptile.

That's one. Don't know any others, and I've already supplied one, so my work is done.

Yup.

No you can't. Like I said, Substitute cannot be passed down via breeding because it doesn't count as a TM move in the Pokemon's movepool. Remember, moves can be inherited for one of three reasons:

-It is a move that the baby learns naturally by level up and both parents know the move.
-It is a TM move that the baby is capable of learning by TM or HM and the father knows the move, whether naturally or taught.
-It is in the baby's list of Egg Moves and the father knows the move.

Substitute doesn't fall into any of these categories for either Seviper or Treecko. Also, I have tried doing this by breeding a male Kecleon with Substitute with a female something (Can't remember, might have been a Seviper) and the baby did not have Substitute. In the end I had to use a tutor.
 
Trade that Sceptile into FR or any other game with a Substitute Tutor you haven't used.

Its true that Tutor moves can't be passed on via breeding so this is the only way.
