Great Tusk @ Pinsirite

- Bulk Up / Smack Down

Pinsirite Great Tusk cements itself as the metagame's premier entry hazard remover while also being a respectable offensive threat. Body Slam potentially cripples common switch-ins like Arceus-Water and Latiasite Pecharunt with paralysis. Bulk Up makes Great Tusk a formidable cleaner that's difficult to revenge kill, especially in conjunction with Rapin Spin. Smack Down can be used over Body Slam or Bulk Up to threaten Ground-immune targets such as Latiasite variants of Magearna and Pecharunt as well as Corviknight and Ho-Oh. 204 Speed EVs allow Pinsirite Great Tusk to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, while 144 HP EVs enable it to survive two maximum Attack Altarianite Dragonite Extreme Speeds after Stealth Rock. Strong wallbreakers such as Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Ceruledge benefit from Great Tusk's ability to remove hazards, potentially giving them more opportunities to hit the field. Defensive staples like Garganacl, Pecharunt, and bulky variants of Arceus-Water and Arceus-Fairy also appreciate it removing hazards and maximizing their longevity. Great Tusk struggles against Arceus-Water and Latiasite users like Magearna, so pairing it with answers such as Ho-Oh and Ceruledge for Magearna as well as Eternatus and Raging Bolt for Arceus-Water is crucial. Great Tusk also appreciates specially bulky teammates such as Magearna and Garganacl because special attackers, especially Ice Beam users like Lunala, are troublesome for it.

Pinsirite Great Tusk cements itself as the metagame's premier entry hazard remover while also being a respectable offensive threat. Body Slam potentially cripples common switch-ins like Arceus-Water and Latiasite Pecharunt with paralysis. Bulk Up makes Great Tusk a formidable cleaner elaborate more on this by mentioning that Bulk Up + Rapid Spin is what makes Tusk hard to take down as even the common Extreme Speed strategies of the OM will struggle thanks to bolstering its Defense and ofc the Speed boost from Spin lol. Smack Down can be used over Body Slam or Bulk Up to threaten Ground-immune targets such as Latiasite variants of Magearna and Pecharunt as well as Corviknight. 204 Speed EVs allow Pinsirite Great Tusk to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, while 144 HP EVs enable it to survive two Altarianite Dragonite Extreme Speeds after Stealth Rock not sure if we need to mention that this is only if Alt DNite is Max Atk since the analysis for it won't be max but I'll leave that up to you or the 2nd check person lol. Strong wallbreakers such as Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Ceruledge benefit from Great Tusk's ability to remove hazards, potentially giving them more opportunities to hit the field. Defensive staples like Garganacl, Pecharunt, and bulky variants of Arceus-formesWater and Arceus-Fairy also appreciate it removing hazards and maximizing their longevity. Great Tusk is not great against foes like Latiasite Magearna and Arceus-Water, so pairing it with their answers such as Ho-Oh and Ceruledge for Magearna as well as Eternatus and Raging Bolt for Arceus-Water is crucial.

Smack Down can be used over Body Slam or Bulk Up to threaten Ground-immune targets such as Latiasite variants of Magearna and Pecharunt as well as Corviknight would pronbably mention Ho-oh here over or with Corv, it’s slightly more seen I think. 204 Speed EVs allow Pinsirite Great Tusk to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, while 144 HP EVs enable it to survive two maximum Attack Altarianite Dragonite Extreme Speeds after Stealth Rock.

Defensive staples like Garganacl, Pecharunt, and bulky variants of Arceus-Water and Arceus-Fairy also appreciate it removing hazards and maximizing their longevity. Great Tusk is not great against foes like Latiasite Magearna this would prob be better off rephrased to Latiasite Mons if you’re not running smack down and Arceus-Water, so pairing it with their answers such as Ho-Oh and Ceruledge for Magearna as well as Eternatus and Raging Bolt for Arceus-Water is crucial. I would also mention that it dosen’t really deal with special attackers well, especially those with ice beam such as Mag and lunala, so special walls are reccomended teammates
