Great Tusk is one of the ancient Paradox Pokémon, a standalone species with no pre-evolution or evolution. Its Scarlet Book entry describes it attacking the Area Zero Expedition team, and it is considered a relative of Donphan despite its unique Ground/Fighting typing, which no other Pokémon shares.
It and its counterpart Iron Treads were the earliest non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon revealed, and they are the only Paradox Pokémon that can be caught outside Area Zero.
Great Tusk's earliest set appearance came in the Scarlet and Violet base set, which featured a Double rare and an Ultra Rare ex illustrated by 5ban Graphics, plus a Special illustration rare by Pani Kobayashi; 5ban Graphics also drew its SVP promo ex. Paldean Fates added a Double rare ex by kawayoo, while Temporal Forces gave it two Uncommon prints, one by Mitsuhiro Arita and one by GIDORA, who returned for an Uncommon in Prismatic Evolutions.

Great Tusk cards span just three years, from 2023 to 2025, and all 8 of them carry a market value. The most valuable Great Tusk card is the Great Tusk ex special illustration rare from the 2023 Scarlet & Violet set, which sits 12.1 times ahead of the next card. That gap means Great Tusk card value starts with one print and drops away sharply behind it.
The Scarlet & Violet special illustration rare, printed in 2023, heads the most valuable Great Tusk cards, and its lead over the next card is 12.1 times. A special illustration rare is a full-art card with a scene-style layout, one of the top rarities in the modern game. Second is the Ultra Rare Great Tusk ex from the same 2023 set, and third is the Great Tusk ex from SVP Black Star Promos, also 2023. Fourth is the Double rare ex from Scarlet & Violet, ahead of the 2024 Paldean Fates Double rare.
Eight Great Tusk cards make up the ranking, so the top ten and top twenty-five show the same cards. By printed rarity there are 3 Uncommon cards, 2 Double rare cards, 1 Promo, 1 Special illustration rare and 1 Ultra Rare. The Uncommons are the plain Great Tusk cards from Temporal Forces in 2024 and Prismatic Evolutions in 2025, while the ex cards fill the upper places.
By the value of its single leading card, Great Tusk ranks 666th of 1020 species with priced cards. That puts its top card in the middle of the field, and the 12.1 times gap behind the leader shows a market built on one special illustration rare, with the remaining Great Tusk cards sitting well below it.
