Great Tusk is one of the best physically defensive Pokemon in Ubers UU. It has an excellent utility movepool, with options like Rapid Spin and Knock Off, to support its teammates. Bulk Up can allow Great Tusk to use its amazing bulk to sweep weakened teams, and Stealth Rock allows it to provide even more utility to its team in the form of entry hazard support. Knock Off allows Great Tusk to hit incoming Psychic- and Ghost-types that try to block Rapid Spin, notably Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Giratina, while also providing greatly helping its team by removing a foe's item. Rapid Spin allows Great Tusk to remove hazards, which enables Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu, while also boosting its Speed, potentially allowing it a shot at sweeping the opposing team. Tera Steel is the best defensive Tera type for Great Tusk, as it flips its many weaknesses into resistances, such as Fairy, Psychic, and Ice, which helps against Pokemon like Baxcalibur, Zacian and Deoxys. Tera Ground is also good to remove its Psychic and Fairy weaknesses against Pokemon like Mewtwo and Zacian while also boosting Earthquake. Most strong special attackers will beat Great Tusk, such as Mewtwo and Palkia-O; therefore, it mostly pairs well with special walls, such as Blissey and Arceus-Dark. Great Tusk also has a very strong synergy with Wish passers like Alomomola and Clefable, as they vastly increase its longevity as it has due to it having no natural recovery outside of Leftovers. Great Tusk is an excellent check to Pokemon like Urshifu-S and Kingambit due to its great typing and bulk, which can enable teammates like Magearna and Kyurem-W.

Great Tusk is one of the best physically defensive Pokemon in Ubers UU (Mention why that is! You can talk about how its typing is excellent for the meta offensively and defensively and how it provides a lot of Ultility for its team.) . Bulk Up allows Great Tusk to boost alongside Swords Dance Arceus-Fire (Im mentioning Fire here as none of the other Arceus Formes rly Run Swords Dance much) and stifle other physical threats, like Annihilape. Earthquake is mandatory to allow Great Tusk to hit Arceus-Fire and Arceus-Electric for good damage (You probably want to mention why you would run this over Headlong, if not just delete the sentence). Knock Off allows Great Tusk to hit incoming Psychic-types and Ghost-types that try to block Rapid Spin, notably Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Giratina, while also providing excellent utility to its team by removing an opponent’s item. Rapid Spin allows Great Tusk to remove hazards, which is incredibly useful for team support, enabling Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu, while also allowing Great Tusk to boost its speed (You could potentially expand on this and say that this could potentially make tusk a wincon?). Tera Steel is the best defensive Tera for Great Tusk, as it flips many weaknesses into resistances, like Fairy, Psychic and Ice, but Tera Ground is also good to remove the Fighting and Fairy weaknesses while also strengthening boosting Earthquake. Most strong special attackers will beat Great Tusk, such as Mewtwo and Palkia-O, and therefore Great Tusk mostly pairs well with special walls, such as Blissey and Arceus-Dark. Great Tusk also has a very strong synergy with Wish passers like Alomomola and Clefable, as they vastly increase its longevity as it has no natural recovery outside of Leftovers. (Mention how Tusk checking Arceus-Fire and Kingambit helps enable teammates who struggle against this too like Magearna, Kyurem-W, or Deoxys.)

Great Tusk is one of the best physically defensive Pokemon in Ubers UU. It has an excellent utility move to support its teammates and Ground-types with a defensive presence are uncommon in Ubers UU Bulk Up allows Great Tusk to boost alongside Swords Dance Arceus-Fire and stifle other physical threats, like Annihilape. (Arceus-Fire wins the 1v1 anyways, so theres no point having it here. Annihilape outspeeds and clicks taunt so your BU can't boost alongside it. Maybe rephrase this sentence as something like "Bulk Up can allow Tusk to use its amazing bulk to sweep weakened teams") (add a sentence here about Stealth Rocks) Knock Off allows Great Tusk to hit incoming Psychic-types and Ghost-types that try to block Rapid Spin, notably Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Giratina, while also providing excellent utility to its team by removing an opponent’s item. Rapid Spin allows Great Tusk to remove hazards, which is incredibly useful for team support, enabling Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu, while also allowing Great Tusk to boost its speed, potentially allowing Great Tusk a shot at sweeping the opposing team.

Great Tusk also has a very strong synergy with Wish passers like Alomomola and Clefable, as they vastly increase its longevity as it has no natural recovery outside of Leftovers. Great Tusk is an excellent check to Pokemon like Arceus-Fire(as stated earlier, tusk cannot beat Arceus-Fire, so replace this example with like something like Urshifu) and Kingambit due to its great typing and bulk, which can enable teammates like Magearna and Kyurem-W.[/COLOR]
pretty good

Great Tusk is one of the best physically defensive Pokemon in Ubers UU. It has an excellent utility move (I highly recommend adding "in Rapid Spin" or whatever move you're referring to here) to support its teammates, (comma) and Ground-types with a defensive presence are uncommon in Ubers UU. Bulk Up can allow Great Tusk to use its amazing bulk to sweep weakened teams, (comma) and Stealth Rock allows Great Tusk it to provide even more utility to its team in the form of entry hazard support. Knock Off allows Great Tusk to hit incoming Psychic-types and Ghost-types that try to block Rapid Spin, notably Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Giratina, while also providing excellent utility to greatly helping (to avoid repeating "utility" a ton) its team by removing an opponent’s a foe's item. Rapid Spin allows Great Tusk to remove hazards, which is incredibly useful for team support, enabling enables Pokemon like Kyurem-W and Chi-Yu, while also allowing Great Tusk to boost its speed boosting its Speed, potentially allowing Great Tusk it a shot at sweeping the opposing team. Tera Steel is the best defensive Tera type for Great Tusk, as it flips many weaknesses into resistances, like Fairy, Psychic, and Ice, but Tera Ground is also good to remove the its Fighting (replace Fighting with whatever type you actually meant) and Fairy weaknesses while also boosting Earthquake. (the information about the Tera types isn't particularly useful. I would rewrite these sentences to something like "Tera Steel is the best defensive Tera type for Great Tusk, as it flips its many weaknesses into resistances, such as Fairy, Psychic, and Ice, which helps against Pokemon like [insert Pokemon here]. Tera Ground is also good to remove its [whatever type you meant] and Fairy weaknesses against [insert Pokemon here] while also boosting Earthquake.")
