[SET COMMENTS]

Great Tusk's already great Attack and physical bulk combined with Bulk Up make it a premier setup sweeper that can use its bulk to set up with ease on Pokemon like Dragonite, Garchomp, and Mega Scizor. Ice Spinner takes care of most Pokemon immune to Headlong Rush like Landorus-T, Zapdos, Mega Latios, and Gliscor, among others, while also dealing with Grass-types like Rillaboom and Meowscarada. Rapid Spin is an amazing utility move for Great Tusk, as the extra boosts to Great Tusk's Speed help it avoid revenge killing attempts from Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and let it boost Speed after its Booster Energy is used up. Rapid Spin also removes entry hazards for Great Tusk's teammates to clean up after it. The EV spread guarantees Great Tusk gains a Speed boost from its Booster Energy, allowing it to threaten Pokemon it would normally be threatened by, like Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and Mega Medicham.

Bulk Up sets are most commonly used on hyper offense teams that appreciate another setup sweeper that can threaten common Pokemon like Landorus-T, Kingambit, and Raging Bolt for its teammates to cleave through. These teams also appreciate Great Tusk's ability to remove entry hazards, which is extremely helpful for Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y and Z-Move Dragonite. Great Tusk is easily revenge killed by Pokemon like mixed Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf users like Tapu Lele and Urshifu-R even with the Speed boost. Therefore, Pokemon that can switch into these Pokemon such as Mega Scizor for Tapu Lele and Kartana and Dragonite for Urshifu-R are appreciated. Great Tusk is weak to special attackers like the aforementioned Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, Terapagos, and Volcarona, so Pokemon like Kingambit, Raging Bolt, Roaring Moon and your own Terapagos can be useful. Great Tusk also thuds into Pokemon that can take both of its moves, like Ogerpon-W, Moltres, Slowbro, and Alomomola, so Pokemon like your own Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, and Gholdengo are great partners that can chip down these Pokemon for Great Tusk to sweep.

Great Tusk's already great Attack and physical bulk combined with Bulk Up makes it a premier setup sweeper, which can use it's bulk to set up with ease on Pokemon like Dragonite, Garchomp, and Mega Scizor, and use Rapid Spin to remove hazards for it's teammates. Ice Spinner takes care of most Pokemon immune to Headlong Rush like Landorus-T, Zapdos, Mega Latios, and Gliscor, among others, while also dealing with Grass- types that resist Headlong Rush, like Rillaboom and Serperior. mention Spin here (boosts Tusk's speed + removes hazards) The EV spread guarentees Great Tuck gains a Speed boost from it's Booster Energy, allowing it to threaten Pokemon it would normally run away from, like Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and other Great Tusk give a different example here, you are not really running from other Tusks after a Bulk Up.

Bulk Up sets are most commonly used on hyper offense and sun teams this set has booster as its only item, it's not going to be used on Sun that appreciate another set up sweeper that can threaten common Pokemon like Landorus-T, Kingambit, and Raging Bolt for it's teammates to cleave through. These teams also appreciate Great Tusk's ability to remove hazards, which is extremely helpful for Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y and Dragonite to threaten the opposing team without constantly being chipped down by Stealth Rock. Great Tusk has a very middling speed tier, leaving it easily revenge killed by Pokemon like Booster Energy mixed Iron Valiant SD sets can't really revenge Tusk + run booster, better to specify and Choice Scarf Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Urshifu-RS Landorus-T lando is doing nothing once a BU goes off even with the speed boost. Therefore, Pokemon that can switch into these Pokemon such as Mega Scizor, Kartana, and Dragonite for the latter are appreciated. Great Tusk is also weak to special attackers like the aforementioned Iron Valiant, as well as Tapu Lele, Terapagos, and Volcarona, so Pokemon like Kingambit, Raging Bolt, (Roaring Moon if it gets unbanned) and your own Terapagos can be useful for staving off these threats. Great Tusk also thuds into Pokemon that can take both of it's moves, like Ogerpon-W, Moltres, Slowbro, and Alomomola, so Pokemon like your own Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, and Gholdengo are great partners that can chip down these Pokemon for Great Tusk to sweep.

Ice Spinner takes care of most Pokemon immune to Headlong Rush like Landorus-T, Zapdos, Mega Latios, and Gliscor, among others, while also dealing with Grass- types that resist Headlong Rush, like Rillaboom and Serperior Meowscarada slightly more common, if you want you can just cut this example and remove the bit about "grass types" to make it just rilla. Rapid Spin not only boosts Great Tusk’s Speed to sweep easier connect these ideas - why does speed = easier sweep? outspeeding scarf lele booster val, able to boost speed outside of own booster are important to talk abt, but also removes hazards for it’s teammates to clean up after it. The EV spread guarentees Great Tuck Tuck lol gains a Speed boost from it's Booster Energy, allowing it to threaten Pokemon it would normally run away from <= ngl too informal, like Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and Mega Medicham.

Great Tusk's already great Attack and physical bulk combined with Bulk Up makes make it a premier setup sweeper (RC) which that can use it's its bulk to set up with ease on Pokemon like Dragonite, Garchomp, and Mega Scizor. Ice Spinner takes care of most Pokemon immune to Headlong Rush like Landorus-T, Zapdos, Mega Latios, and Gliscor, among others, while also dealing with Grass- types that resist Headlong Rush (RC) Grass-types like Rillaboom and Meowscarada. Rapid Spin is an amazing utility move for Great Tusk, as not only can the extra boosts to its Great Tusk's Speed help it avoid revenge killing attempts from Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele (RC) but and let it can also boost Speed even when after its Booster Energy is already used up. I rephrased this cause it seemed unnecessary to highlight obvious info Rapid Soin Spin also removes entry hazards for it’s Great Tusk's teammates to clean up after it. The EV spread guarentees guarantees Great Tusk gains a Speed boost from it's its Booster Energy, allowing it to threaten Pokemon it would normally be threatened by, like Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and Mega Medicham.
