Because its tusks don’t grow back once they break, this Pokémon apparently won’t use them unless truly necessary.
Fraxure uses its thick tusks to neatly cut prey into two portions—one to eat now and one to save for later.

At 410 BST, Fraxure is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Haxorus before bringing it to any serious fight.
