Great Tusk is a defensive staple in the metagame due to its high physical bulk and solid utility thanks to Stealth Rock and the ability to remove them from its side using Rapid Spin. Knock Off cripples Ting-Lu and opposing Great Tusk by blocking their passive recovery from Leftovers and removes Heavy-Duty Boots from Pelipper and Rocky Helmet from Toxapex and Alomomola. Alternatively, Play Rough deals high damage to Chien-Pao and Koraidon. Leftovers offers much-needed passive recovery, while Rocky Helmet punishes physical attackers such as Koraidon, Chien-Pao, and opposing Great Tusk, especially stopping Koraidon from freely pivoting against Great Tusk into teammates like Chi-Yu and Walking Wake. 40 Speed EVs allows Great Tusk to outspeed Chi-Yu at +1. Tera Fairy makes Great Tusk immune to Dragon-type moves from Koraidon and Miraidon. With Tera Water, Great Tusk resists Ice-type moves from Chien-Pao and Flare Blitz from Koraidon. Tera Ghost grants an immunity to Fighting-type moves from Koraidon and Rapid Spin from opposing Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Koraidon is a great teammate, as it can set up sun for Great Tusk, while it, in return, threatens or cripples walls that check Koraidon, making it easier for Koraidon to deal with them. Great Tusk gets easily pressured by special attackers such as Iron Bundle, Flutter Mane, and Miraidon, so special walls such as Corviknight, Blissey, and Clodsire are appreciated as teammates.
