[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its good typing, stats, and ample movepool, Great Tusk can serve as both an effective entry hazard remover and wallbreaker. Knock Off helps Great Tusk punish Pokemon that wall it such as Giratina, Skarmory, and Landorus. Close Combat lets Great Tusk hit threats such as Arceus-Dark and Ursaluna hard, while Stealth Rock lets Great Tusk compress the roles of hazard setter, wallbreaker, and hazard remover. Tera Dark is used to bolster Knock Off and grant Great Tusk an immunity to Psychic-type moves from the likes of Deoxys and Mewtwo, letting it punish them with a super effective Knock Off. Tera Water can instead be used to grant Great Tusk a resistance to Palafin's Water moves and Arceus-Fire's Flare Blitz. Hazard-weak wallbreakers, such as Chi-Yu and Kyurem-W, appreciate Great Tusk removing hazards for them; in exchange, they target the physical walls that Great Tusk loathes. Kyurem-W in particular forms an excellent offensive core with it, being able to offensively pressure its checks such as Giratina and Lugia. Arceus-Dark also makes a good partner for Great Tusk, as it covers Great Tusk's weakness to special attackers while also enjoying hazards being removed. Furthermore, Arceus-Dark pressures the Ghost-types that block Great Tusk's attempts to use Rapid Spin.

Thanks to its solid typing, stats, and ample movepool, Great Tusk can serve as both an effective hazard remover and wallbreaker in Ubers UU. Knock Off helps Great Tusk punish Pokemon that otherwise wall it such as Giratina, Skarmory, and Landorus (nothing wrong with your example, you should just add more) and its ability to remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots synergizes well with Stealth Rock if it opts to run it. (this is just fluff, doesn't need to be there) Stealth Rock lets Great Tusk act as a role compressor, while Close Combat lets it hit threats such as Arceus-Dark and Ursaluna hard. while Stealth Rock lets Great Tusk act as a role compressor. Heavy-Duty Boots let Great Tusk switch in to remove hazards and threaten the opposing team without taking chip damage. Tera Dark is used to bolster Knock Off and grant Great Tusk an immunity to Psychic moves from the likes of Deoxys and Mewtwo, letting it punish them better with a supereffective Knock Off ("better" doesn't really apply here, since you can't punish without tera). Tera Water can also be used to grant Great Tusk a resistance to Palafin's Water moves and Arceus-Fire's Flare Blitz. Hazard-weak wallbreakers, such as Chi-Yu and Kyurem-White, appreciate Great Tusk removing hazards for them; in exchange, they target the physical walls that Great Tusk loathes. Kyurem-White in particular is able to dispatch Flying-types, like Landorus and Skarmory, (add examples of flying types) as well as Giratina, forming an excellent offensive core with it. Arceus-Dark makes for a great partner with Great Tusk, as it covers its weakness to special attackers while also enjoying hazards being removed. It also pressures the Ghost-types that block Great Tusk's attempts to spin.

It makes it sounds like Giratina resists ground, and also almost like Giratina makes an excellent offensive core with Tusk. I'd reccomend restructuring the sentence so it goes something like: Kyurem-White in particular forms an excellent offense core, being able to... .
