Pokemon: Close Combat/Great Tusk

The only information we have been able to find on Great Tusk comes from the dubious piece of literature known as the Scarlet Book. Any more concrete information will take a little longer to gather. (Which is to say, the character just came out! This page is just a placeholder, and will be updated once we have a little more data.)
