Choice Scarf, high power STABs, great physical bulk, and high Attack stat make Great Tusk one of the best options on Ground teams for a wallbreaker and late-game cleaner, threatening the likes of Choice Scarf Gholdengo and Chien-Pao. Close Combat threatens different threats to Ground teams like Choice Specs Greninja and Hoopa-U. Headlong Rush is one of Great Tusk's strongest STAB options, OHKOing Flutter Mane. Earthquake can be used over Headlong Rush despite its lower power due to not causing Defense and Special Defense drops, making it better for sweeping. Ice Spinner is great coverage to target the likes of Garchomp, Dragonite, Gliscor, and Landorus. Alternatively, Stone Edge targets Flying- and Bug-types such as Articuno, Talonflame, and Volcarona. Megahorn can also be used to target Grass- and Psychic-types such as Ogerpon-W, Latios, and Slowbro is notably 2HKOed by it after Stealth Rock damage. Knock Off prevents Air Balloon Gholdengo from walling Great Tusk, and it also removes items from foes such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Gyarados and Brambleghast and Leftovers from Corviknight.

Clodsire, Ting-Lu Hippowdon, and Gliscor provide entry hazard support in wearing down foes to aid Great Tusk, with it being able to guarantee a 2HKO on specially defensive Corviknight and OHKOing the Ogerpon formes. Additionally, Clodsire provides a Water immunity and its Poison-typing also allows it to melt Toxic Spikes and threaten Grass- and Fairy-types such as Meowscarada, Flutter Mane, and Clefable, Ting-Lu phazes out set up sweepers such as Volcarona and Dragonite with Whirlwind. Hippowdon sets up Sandstorm to wear down foes further, and Gliscor spreads status with Toxic and shuts down passive walls with Taunt. In return, they appreciate Great Tusk dealing with Ice-types like Chien-Pao and Kyurem. Sand-boosted Excadrill takes out Choice Scarf users such as Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Iron Boulder. In return, Great Tusk deals with Dragon-types like Garchomp in return. When Great Tusk chooses to forego Ice Spinner, Mamoswine makes for a great teammate to cover Dragon- and Flying-types like Choice Scarf Latias, Dragonite, and Landorus. Landorus makes for another great partner, as with its colorful coverage, it takes on the likes of Iron Defense Zamazenta, Primarina, and Clefable, and it can also provide Gravity support so Great Tusk fares better against Corviknight and Skarmory. Landorus appreciates Great Tusk taking out Ice-types in return. Iron Treads provides immense utility that helps Great Tusk, such as hazard removal and pivoting via Volt Switch, and it appreciates Great Tusk taking out Excadrill in return. Garchomp is a great late-game sweeper that appreciates Great Tusk's ability to take out bulky Pokemon such as Articuno, Ting-Lu, and Gliscor with the appropriate coverage, which in turn allows Garchomp to sweep much easier.

Choice Scarf, high power STABs, great physical bulk, and high Attack stat make Great Tusk one of the best options on Ground teams for a wallbreaker and late-game cleaner, threatening the likes of Choice Scarf Gholdengo, Chien-Pao, and Excadrill. [Add a Close Combat sentence, destroying Chien-Pao, Choice Specs Greninja, and Hoopa-U.] [Mention a H Rush sentence, you actually OHKO flutter mane which is huge.] Earthquake can be used over Headlong Rush despite its lower power due to not causing Defense and Special Defense drops, making it better for sweeps. Ice Spinner is great coverage to target the likes of Garchomp, Dragonite, Gliscor, and Landorus. Alternatively, Stone Edge targets Flying- and Bug-types such as Articuno, Talonflame, and Volcarona Zapdos. Megahorn can also be used to target Grass- and Psychic-types such as Ogerpon-W, Latios, and Slowbro is notably 2HKOed by it after Stealth Rock damage. Knock Off prevents Air Balloon Gholdengo from walling Great Tusk, and it also removes items from foes such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Gyarados and Brambleghast and Leftovers from Corviknight.

Clodsire, Ting-Lu Hippowdon, and Gliscor provide entry hazard support in wearing down foes to aid Great Tusk, with it being able to guarantee a 2HKO on specially defensive Corviknight and OHKOing the Ogerpon formes Ogerpon-C after its Sturdy gets broken.[since you already said wearing down foes its study will be broken, + all formes gets ohko after hazard chip.] Additionally, Clodsire'sprovides a water immunity and its Poison-typing also allows it to melt Toxic Spikes and threatens Grass- and Fairy-types such as Meowscarada, Flutter Mane, and Clefable., Ting-Lu phazes out set up sweepers such as Volcarona and Dragonite with Whirlwind., Hippowdon sets up Sandstorm to wear down foes further, while Gliscor also spreads status with Toxic. In return, they appreciate Great Tusk dealing with Ice-types like Chien-Pao and Kyurem. Ursaluna-B makes for a great partner, handling threats that Great Tusk struggles with such as Hatterene and Sableye, while also revenge killing weakened pesky threats like Chien-Pao, Choice Scarf Meowscarada and Choice Scarf Greninja. Sand-boosted Excadrill takes out Choice Scarf users such as Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Iron Boulder. In return, Great Tusk deals with Dragon-types like Garchomp in return. When it chooses to forego Ice Spinner, Mamoswine makes for a great teammate to cover Dragon- and Flying-types like Choice Scarf Latias, Gouging Fire, Dragonite, and Landorus. Landorus makes for another great partner, as with its colorful coverage, it takes on the likes of Iron Defense Zamazenta, Primarina, and Clefable, and it can also provide Gravity support so Great Tusk fares better against Corviknight and Skarmory.

Close Combat threatens different threats to Ground teams like Chien-Pao, just felt redundant since u just mentioned it Choice Specs Greninja, and Hoopa-U. Headlong Rush is one of Great Tusk's strongest STAB options, OHKOing Flutter Mane.
