| X Omega Ruby |

| Y Alpha Sapphire |
They mark their territory by leaving gashes in trees with their tusks. If a tusk breaks, a new one grows in quickly. |
| Sword | These Pokémon nest in the ground and use their tusks to crush hard berries. Crushing berries is also how they test each other’s strength. |
| Shield | They play with each other by knocking their large tusks together. Their tusks break sometimes, but they grow back so quickly that it isn’t a concern. |
| Scarlet | This Pokémon lives in nests that are made in the ground. People in ancient times used its tusks as cooking knives. |
