Great Tusk @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Headlong Rush
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Knock Off / Ice Spinner
Great Tusk rushes into Monotype! Thanks to a fantastic STAB combination, solid Speed tier, and high Attack, Great Tusk is an excellent Choice Scarf user for Ground teams. Headlong Rush can revenge kill Choice Specs Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Gholdengo, while Close Combat is a solid option against Choice Band Meowscarada and Choice Specs Kyurem. Megahorn is the best option versus Ogerpon-W, which is otherwise a massive threat to Ground teams. Knock Off removes items from defensive Pokemon that would hope to switch in on Great Tusk, such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Moltres and Air Balloon from Gholdengo, whereas Ice Spinner hits troublesome Flying-types such as Gliscor and Tornadus-T. Clodsire is an excellent teammate for Great Tusk, as it provides a key Water immunity, as well as being a great special wall. Landorus is also a great teammate for Great Tusk, as it can provide Gravity support and help break through physical walls.
