Its resilient tusks are its pride and joy. It licks up dirt to take in the minerals it needs to keep its tusks in top condition.
Sword
Its tusks are incredibly destructive. They can easily slice through a thick, sturdy steel column every time.
Black 2 · White 2
Their sturdy tusks will stay sharp even if used to cut steel beams. These Pokémon are covered in hard armor.
