Boasting impressive bulk, Great Tusk is a physical wall for Fighting teams that can pivot in and out around hard hitting physical attackers such as Iron Hands and Kingambit. Earthquake is a powerful STAB move that threatens Poison-types such as Clodsire and Toxapex. Knock Off complements Great Tusk's ability to spin by strongly hitting Ghost-types such as Brambleghast, Gholdengo, and Dragapult hard while also removing Heavy-Duty Boots. Lastly, Great Tusk provides Stealth Rock support for the team, which helps to break Focus Sash on Breloom. Heavy-Duty Boots is the premier choice, as it allows Great Tusk to spin away hazards without being poisoned by Toxic Spikes or worn down by Spikes. Leftovers is a solid alternative to provide Great Tusk with passive recovery, but generally avoiding hazard damage is more important. The EV spread outpaces neutral nature Tyranitar and uninvested Brambleghast while maximizing Great Tusk's physical bulk.

Assault Vest Iron Hands is a great partner to Great Tusk, sponging special hits aimed at it while also threatening Pokemon such as Choice Specs Pelipper and Hatterene. Iron Hands also appreciates Great Tusk's ability to keep entry hazards off the field so it doesn't get worn down. Wallbreakers such as Iron Valiant and Breloom appreciate Great Tusk's ability to threaten Poison-types such as Clodsire and Skuntank, allowing them to continue rampaging against the opponent. Due to it being an amazing special attacker, Iron Valiant in particular can threaten physical walls like Quagsire, Sableye, and Dondozo, which like to switch into Great Tusk. Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo, Quaquaval, and Slither Wing pressure special attackers faster than Great Tusk such as Choice Specs Greninja, Dragapult, and opposing Iron Valiant. Gallade is also a really nice partner to handle Pokemon such as Amoonguss, who would otherwise beat Great Tusk one-on-one, thanks to its Psychic STAB attacks.

Great Tusk's role for Fighting teams as a physical wall, boasting an impressive 131 HP and Defense stat, allows it to pivot in and out around hard hitting physical attackers such as Iron Hands and Kingambit. Earthquake is a powerful STAB move that allows Tusk to not only utilize its fantastic Attack stat, but threaten the aforementioned physical threats fairly easily. Knock Off complements Great Tusk's ability to spin by hitting Ghost-types such as Brambleghast, Gholdengo, and Dragapult hard, while also removing Heavy-Duty Boots, exemplifying the effect of its hazards. Speaking of, Rapid Spin allows Great Tusk to keep hazards off its side of the field while also providing a Speed boost, which can come in clutch to let Great Tusk potentially hit faster threats (such as?) before going down. Lastly, hazards are scarce on Fighting, so Great Tusk provides Stealth Rock support for the team, which helps to break Focus Sash on Breloom as well as chunk away at Bug and Flying teams. Heavy-Duty Boots is the premier choice as it allows Great Tusk to spin away hazards whilst not being worn down by them. Furthermore, it allows Great Tusk to not be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, as it doesn't like being statused dislikes status wearing it down over time. Leftovers is a solid alternative to provide Great Tusk with passive recovery, but generally not worth it as you risk being poisoned by Toxic Spikes being chipped by hazards. HP EVs are maximized while the Defense EVs hit a jump point (what jump point?) and the rest is dumped into Speed to be able to outspeed max Speed neutral natured Tyranitar, or uninvested base 92s, and below.

Assault Vest Iron Hands is a great mirror to Great Tusk, sponging special hits aimed at it while also threatening Water- and Flying-types such as Slowbro, Pelipper, and Corviknight. Iron Hands also appreciates Great Tusk's ability to keep hazards off the field so it doesn't get worn down. Wallbreakers such as Iron Valiant and Breloom appreciate Great Tusk's ability to threaten Poison-types such as Clodsire and Skuntank, allowing them to continue rampaging against the opponent. Iron Valiant in particular can threaten physical walls (such as?) that like to switch into Great Tusk due to it being an amazing special attacker.

Lastly, Great Tusk provides Stealth Rock support for the team, which helps to break Focus Sash on Breloom as well as chunk away at Bug and Flying teams Bug and Flying aren't very common, and they tend to spam HDB when played so Rocks don't help much in these mus. Heavy-Duty Boots is the premier choice as it allows Great Tusk to spin away hazards whilst not being poisoned by Toxic Spikes or worn down by Spikes. Leftovers is a solid alternative to provide Great Tusk with passive recovery, but generally not worth it as you risk being chipped by hazards. HP EVs are maximized while the Defense EVs hit a jump point, and the rest is dumped into Speed to be able to outspeed max Speed neutral natured Tyranitar and below Ttar isn't really meta-relevant, so maybe adding a second example such as uninvested Brambleghast would be a good idea.

Assault Vest Iron Hands is a great mirror to Great Tusk, sponging special hits aimed at it while also threatening Water- and Flying-types such as Slowbro, Pelipper, and Corviknight Without any Atk EVs, TPunch is a 3HKO against Slowbro and can struggle against Iron Defense Corv - you could instead generalize this to threatening Special Attackers like Specs Pelipper or Hatterene. Iron Hands also appreciates Great Tusk's ability to keep hazards off the field so it doesn't get worn down. Wallbreakers such as Iron Valiant and Breloom appreciate Great Tusk's ability to threaten Poison-types such as Clodsire and Skuntank, allowing them to continue rampaging against the opponent. Due to it being an amazing special attacker, Iron Valiant in particular can threaten physical walls like Quagsire, Sableye and Dondozo that like to switch into Great Tusk due to it being an amazing special attacker. Choice Scarf users such as Flamigo, Quaquaval, and Slither Wing pressure special attackers faster than Great Tusk that threaten it such as Choice Specs Greninja, Dragapult, and opposing Iron Valiant. Gallade is worth a mention here, as having a mon to handle Amoonguss is an asset.

ken notes

if "while" means "at the same time" it does not need a comma before it. If "while" means "on the other hand" it does need a comma
"whilst" is a british word, Smogon uses American English
a) max evs never need to be explained b) "jump point" is jargon that doesn't help the reader understand why a spread is good c) "max" should always be spelled out
"STAB" is an adjective, not a verb; it always needs to be modifying something (move/attacks/combination/etc)
