Booster Energy |
Great Tusk only comes with one ability, Protosynthesis. This ability boosts a Pokemon's highest stat by a whopping 30% when holding a Booster Energy or when the Weather is Sunny. This makes an Attack focused Great Tusk capable of dealing significant amounts of damage to opposing Pokemon.
We recommend getting a Great Tusk with a Ground Tera Type because of the boost it gives to its Ground-type STAB. As a Physical Attacker, an Adamant nature would suit it best.
Great Tusk's EV spread should lean toward offense, maxing out Attack EVs, putting a considerable number of EVs into both Special Defense and Attack. Add the rest of the EVs into HP.
Physically Offensive Great Tusk Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turn 1 | Use Taunt to prevent the opposing Pokemon from setting anything up. |
Turn 2-4 | Use Headlong Rush to deal super-effective Ground-type damage. |
Turns 5+ | Terastallize and use Headlong Rush to deal even more damage and get the KO. |
Start the Tera Raid Battle by using Taunt to prevent the opposing Pokemon from setting up
Use Headlong Rush and Close Combat when it is safe to do so, and use Ice Spinner when we need to get rid of troublesome Terrain.

This Great Tusk Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Dark, Rock and Normal Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Fairy, Psychic or Water Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Great Tusk will be weak to these Types as a Ground and Fighting Type attacker.
