Ice Fang is weaker and has slightly less accuracy (65/95), but it has a 10% chance for each effect of either freezing the enemy or causing them to flinch. Meanwhile, Ice Spinner is stronger and has slightly more accuracy (80/100), and it always removes the effect of terrain, but the effect specifically only works for terrain, and using it may be detrimental to your side as well if you have a terrain set up. Thoughts between these two moves?
For further context, I am running a set of Earthquake and Body Press as STAB moves for my Great Tusk and a Steel-typed Tera Blast to give them a type that resists all of the types that they are normally weak against except for the Water type.

probably ice spinner, great tusk isn't exactly fast so the flinch isn't that useful.
What do you want to do with this Great Tusk? Do you want to battle other people, in-game trainers, or something else?
I'm looking to battle other people for the most part, build my own kind of team to play against others after the main game is done and all.
What format/rules do you use? Singles or doubles? What Pokemon, moves, or abilities are banned?
I am still thinking about the format, but for now this is just to get into normal online battles and such first and foremost.

If you want to use Great Tusk in a different format, please tell me and I'll put this question back on the unanswered list (or post another answer about that format).

Okay, thank you.
You're welcome I guess.
