[SET COMMENTS]
Great Tusk is a premier defensive wall thanks to its high physical bulk and access to utility such as Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Ice Spinner threatens Flying-type Pokemon like Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Dragonite. Bulk Up is used to boost Great Tusk's offensive and defensive presence, while Knock Off cripples switch-ins like Corviknight and Earth Eater Skeledirge. Regenerator provides reliable recovery and allows Great Tusk to switch back in to take hits from multiple threats, but Fluffy can be used to reduce damage taken from contact move users like Roaring Moon and physical Kommo-o. Alternatively, Toxic Debris can punish users of physical utility moves such as Knock Off and U-turn, forcing entry hazard removers like Corviknight in. Leftovers can be used for small but valuable recovery, while Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact attackers. Frailer Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards such as Azelf and Weavile appreciate Great Tusk's ability to reliably remove hazards. Great Tusk's abysmal special bulk makes it susceptible to special attackers like Manaphy and Azelf. Therefore, Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and RegenVest Manaphy can form a defensive core with Great Tusk, being able to switch into those wallbreakers and force them out with utility like Dragon Tail and Knock Off, respectively.

Great Tusk is a premier defensive wall thanks to its high physical bulk and access to utility such as Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Earthquake hits common wallbreakers such as Iron Moth and Ceruledge for super-effective damage don't need to explain STAB moves Ice Spinner is for Pokemon like Landorus-T and Gliscor looking to switch-in into Great Tusk's Earthquake, and other Pokemon like Roaring Moon. Ice Spinner threatens Flying-types such as Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Dragonite. Bulk Up is used to boost Great Tusk's offensive and defensive presence, (AC) while Knock Off cripples switch-ins like Corviknight and Earth Eater Skeledirge. can be used against Pokemon like type-immunity Skeledirge or Corviknight looking to switch into Great Tusk. mention how toxic debris can pressure teams Leftovers can be used for small but valuable recovery, while Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact attackers. Frailer Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards such as Azelf and add more exmaples require appreciate Great Tusk's ability to reliably remove hazards. scare off spinblockers with its coverage and Rapid Spin. Great Tusk's abysmal special bulk make it susceptible to special attackers like Manaphy and Azelf. Therefore, Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra or RegenVest Manaphy will provide a defensive core with Great Tusk. mention how they check the special attackers that force great tusk out If Great Tusk is running neither Regenerator nor Leftovers, it can be worn down easily due to its lack of recovery. Wish passers like Scream Tail and Florges make for excellent teammates due to their high special bulk and HP. scream tail isn't really a special wall; florges is not ranked on the VR

Great Tusk is a premier defensive wall thanks to its high physical bulk and access to utility such as Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Ice Spinner threatens Flying type Pokemon like Landorus-Therian, Gliscor, and Dragonite. Bulk Up is used to boost Great Tusk's offensive and defensive presence, while Knock Off cripples switch-ins like Corviknight and Earth Eater Skeledirge. Regenerator is a great form of provides reliable recovery add something about how regen allows it to come in more times throughout a game to wall things but Fluffy can be used to boost its defense greatly thats somewhat misleading since it doesnt take halved damage from eq, you can say that fluffy allows it to increase its walling potential from threats like slither wing and roaring moon and Toxic Debris can force Poison-type Pokemon to switch-in. this sentence greatly undermines ahat debris does -- it punishes weak / resisted physical hits like uturn / knock / you get the idea. rephrase it to contain / summarize the points i mentioned as well as debris forcing hazard removal in + putting pressure on voltturn Leftovers can be used for small but valuable recovery, while Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact attackers. Frailer Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards such as Azelf and Weavile appreciate Great Tusk's ability to reliably remove hazards. Great Tusk's abysmal special bulk make it susceptible to special attackers like Manaphy and Azelf. Therefore, Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra or RegenVest Manaphy will provide a defensive core with Great Tusk, forcing them out with utility like Dragon Tail and Knock Off respectively. also add something on how they can switch into those breakers before the "forcing them out..." part

Great Tusk is a premier defensive wall thanks to its high physical bulk and access to utility such as Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Ice Spinner threatens Flying type Pokemon Flying-types like Landorus-Therian, Gliscor, and Dragonite. Bulk Up is used to boost Great Tusk's offensive and defensive presence, This dex info-y description would make Bulky Up a self-explanatory move, which like Earthquake here would normally go unmentioned on Minis. However, since it's slashed you need to go more in-depth on its use. Something like "set up on" or "better take on X Pokemon" would suffice. while Knock Off cripples switch-ins like Corviknight and Earth Eater Skeledirge. Regenerator provides reliable recovery, (AC) and allows it allowing Great Tusk I assume the reliable recovery is the reason why Great Tusk is able to switch back in, so that should be specified to switch back in to take hits from multiple threats, but Fluffy can be used to boost its defense greatly against reduce damage taken from contact move users like Roaring Moon and physical Kommo-o, Fluffy doesn't increase Great Tusk's Defense even if the end result is the same and Toxic Debris can punish physical utility moves such as Knock Off and U-turn, forcing entry hazard "Entry hazard" must be stated once before shortening it to "hazard" removal Pokemon like Corviknight in. Leftovers can be used for provides Reducing repetition of "can be used" small but valuable recovery, while Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact attackers moves. Frailer Pokemon that are weak to entry hazards such as Azelf and Weavile appreciate Great Tusk's ability to reliably remove hazards them. Great Tusk's abysmal special bulk make makes it susceptible to special attackers like Manaphy and Azelf. Therefore, Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra or RegenVest Manaphy will provide can form a defensive core with Great Tusk, (RC) I assume the physically defensive Great Tusk and special walls form a defensive core together, so it's better to talk about them in terms of uniting to form this core. If you only want to reference these special walls supporting Great Tusk, "can provide a specially defensive backbone" can work instead by being able to switch into those breakers wallbreakers and force them out with utility like Dragon Tail and Knock Off respectively.
