This ancient paradox Pokemon is charging into the OU metagame at full force! Great Tusk is a fantastic offensive Rapid Spin user thanks to its good matchup against Ting-Lu and Garganacl. Headlong Rush and Close Combat's high Base Power and great coverage makes it tough for defensive Pokemon such as Rotom-W and Toxapex to switch in safely. Knock Off and Rapid Spin have great synergy together since Knock Off prevents Great Tusk from being blocked by Air Balloon Gholdengo. Knock Off also removes Leftovers and Rocky Helmet from switch-ins such as Dondozo, Hatterene, and Corviknight. While Great Tusk prefers to run Leftovers for added longevity, it can make great use of Booster Energy for an Attack boost, giving Great Tusk sweeping potential after a Rapid Spin. Tera Fighting lets Great Tusk better check Chien-Pao and 2HKO Corviknight with Close Combat.
