Pokédex entries

Black They use their tusks to crush the berries they eat. Repeated regrowth makes their tusks strong and sharp.
White They mark their territory by leaving gashes in trees with their tusks. If a tusk breaks, a new one grows in quickly.
Black 2White 2 Its large tusks have a tendency to break, but each time they grow back, they grow in harder and sturdier.
XOmega Ruby They use their tusks to crush the berries they eat. Repeated regrowth makes their tusks strong and sharp.
YAlpha Sapphire They mark their territory by leaving gashes in trees with their tusks. If a tusk breaks, a new one grows in quickly.
Sword These Pokémon nest in the ground and use their tusks to crush hard berries. Crushing berries is also how they test each other’s strength.
Shield They play with each other by knocking their large tusks together. Their tusks break sometimes, but they grow back so quickly that it isn’t a concern.
Scarlet This Pokémon lives in nests that are made in the ground. People in ancient times used its tusks as cooking knives.
Violet If you see peculiar teeth marks on boulders or trees, it means an Axew is likely living nearby.
