Bulk Up Great Tusk can act as both a defensive backbone and a potential late game sweeper, able to set up in front of Pokemon such as Dragonite, Iron Treads, Cinderace, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and opposing Great Tusk. Knock Off provides item removal against defensive walls like Dondozo and Corviknight, as well as coverage against Air Balloon Gholdengo that would otherwise wall Great Tusk. Rapid Spin lets Great Tusk provide entry hazard removal for the team in games where it would not be able to win with Bulk Up, while allowing it to boost its Speed in games where it can sweep with Bulk Up. Body Press is another option that gives Great Tusk a way to more immediately hit Dark-types such as Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Ting-Lu. Tera Water turns Great Tusk's Water and Ice weaknesses into resistances and thus allowing it to better take hits from Azumarill, Chien-Pao, Quaquaval, and Floatzel. On the other hand, Tera Steel lets Great Tusk take on Grass-type attacks such as Breloom's Bullet Seed and Meowscarada's Flower Trick, Flying-type attacks like Roaring Moon's Acrobatics, and if need be, Fairy-type attacks such as Iron Valiant's Moonblast.

Bulk Up Great Tusk appreciates specially defensive teammates like Toxapex and Garganacl that can help play around fast special attackers such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Choice Specs Dragapult. In return, Garganacl and Toxapex appreciate the presence of a Terastallized Great Tusk as they can get overwhelmed by Chien-Pao and Belly Drum Azumarill. Teammates such as Gholdengo, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult can help break through physically defensive Pokemon like Rotom-W, Dondozo, and Skeledirge that Bulk Up Great Tusk can struggle against. Gholdengo in particular is a great partner as it can struggle against Cinderace and Dragonite, both of which Great Tusk covers.

Bulk Up Great Tusk can acts as both part of a teams a defensive backbone and a possible wincon late game sweeper on a team, able to setup in front of Pokemon such as Dragonite, Iron Treads, Cinderace, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and opposing Great Tusk. Knock Off provides coverage against Air Balloon Gholdengo that would otherwise wall it. This should be the secondary point made, add something before explaining Knock Off's value elsewhere such as item removal of Defensive Pokemon's boots and Leftovers (Corviknight, Dondozo etc.) Rapid Spin lets Great Tusk act as a spinner provide hazard removal for the team, giving it utility it doesn't have Utility, it provides utility. (provide is a better word but, don't wanna use it twice, use your own instinct for that one ;]) in games where it would not be able to win with Bulk Up. Body Press is another option that gives it a way to hit Dark-types such as Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Ting-Lu, immediately. Tera Water turns Great Tusk's Water and Ice weaknesses into resistances and thus allowing it to better take hits from Azumarill, Chien-Pao and Quaquaval, and Floatzel. Not currently worth a mention, as it can arguably be described as a niche on rain. (Really good imo but, niche) On the other hand, Tera Steel lets it take on Grass-type attacks such as Choice Band Breloom's Bullet Seed and Meowscarada's Flower Trick, Flying-type attacks like Roaring Moon's Acrobatics, and if need be, Fairy-type attacks such as Iron Valiant's Moonblast.

Gholdengo is a great partner for it as it can struggle against the previously mentioned Cinderace, Dragonite, Iron Treads, and offensive Great Tusk. Talk about what Gholdengo does for Great Tusk before going into what Great Tusk does for Gholdengo. Garganacl and Specially Defensive Toxapex appreciate the presence of a Terastallized Great Tusk as they can get overwhelmed by Choice Band Chien-Pao Garganacl beats Chien-Pao in every scenario at full HP, even Adamant Choice Band, but Adamant CB Sacred Sword has a 50% chance to OHKO Garganacl after rocks, so any little bit of chip will then leave Garganacl vulnerable to Choice Band Chien-Pao only and Belly Drum Azumarill. In return, Bulk Up Great Tusk appreciates specially defensive teammates like Toxapex and Garganacl that can help play around fast special attackers such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Choice Specs Dragapult. Physically defensive Pokemon like Rotom-Wash, Dondozo, and Skeledirge also pose a threat for Bulk Up Great Tusk and can be covered by teammates such as the aforementioned Gholdengo, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult.

Bulk Up Great Tusk can act as a defensive backbone and a possible late game sweeper on a team, able to set (add space) up in front of Pokemon such as Dragonite, Iron Treads, Cinderace, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and opposing Great Tusk. Knock Off provides item removal against defensive walls like Dondozo and Corviknight, as well as coverage against Air Balloon Gholdengo that would otherwise wall it. Rapid Spin lets Great Tusk provide hazard removal for the team in games where it would not be able to win with Bulk Up, while allowing it to boost its speed in games that it can sweep with Bulk Up. Body Press is another option that gives it a way to hit Dark-types such as Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Ting-Lu, immediately.

Physically defensive Pokemon like Rotom-Wash, Dondozo, and Skeledirge also pose a threat for Bulk Up Great Tusk and can be covered by teammates such as the aforementioned Gholdengo, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult. (None of these Pokemon actually switch into any of wash, dozo, or skele. I would instead mention Amoonguss for the first two and Clodsire for skele. You could then write a sentence saying that Gholgendo, Iron Valiant, and Dragapult are useful partners for breaking walls that Great Tusk struggles with.) Gholdengo in particular is a great partner as it can struggle against the previously mentioned Cinderace and Dragonite, both of which Great Tusk covers.
