A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fan showed off a wonderful display of artistry by sharing their clay sculpture of a shiny Great Tusk. The paradox Pokemon is one of 16 introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and is a past form of Donphan, the armor Pokemon.
Introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver, Donphan is the evolved form of Phanpy, the long-nosed Pokemon. Representing the elephant family, Donphan's long and thick nose covers the center of its face and resembles a car tire, which Donphan utilizes to curl up and use the Rollout move. Its paradox form is meant to showcase Donphan as more of a mammoth, which has drawn a close comparison to Mamoswine, a fourth-generation Pokemon.

Reddit user Prof-Fluffy shared their most recent work to the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet subreddit, featuring a clay sculpture of Great Tusk in its shiny form. Shiny Great Tusk bears a different color palette compared to its non-shiny form, trading in its grayish-blue body for a shade of green and replacing the red tones with green on both its trunk and legs. Along with the changes, Great Tusk's trunk itself goes from a dark purple-blue to a more toned-down brown. Luckily for players, encountering and catching Great Tusk isn't as tough as its intimidating presence, as it can be easily found in Area Zero once the final boss has been defeated. Unfortunately, Great Tusk — along with all other past-form paradox Pokemon — can only be found in Pokemon Scarlet.
