Pokédex entries
| GoldStadium 2 | It has sharp, hard tusks and a rugged hide. Its TACKLE is strong enough to knock down a house. |
|---|---|
| Silver | The longer and bigger its tusks, the higher its rank in its herd. The tusks take long to grow. |
| Crystal | Because this POKEMON’s skin is so tough, a normal attack won’t even leave a scratch on it. |
