Great Tusk was the first Paradox Pokémon to be discovered 200 years ago in [[Area Zero]] by the Area Zero Expedition team and recorded by [[Heath]] in his Scarlet Book. According to [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]], Great Tusk is an ancient Pokémon and apparent relative of both Donphan and {{p|Iron Treads}} that was [[Time travel|brought to the present]] in the depths of [[Area Zero]] through the [[time machine]] created by the real Professor Sada ten years ago. At some point, one of them escaped Area Zero and consumed some [[Herba Mystica]], which caused it to become the Quaking Earth Titan, one of the [[Titan Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea]] region.

Great Tusk is based on {{p|Donphan}}. Its design may also be based on {{wp|mammoth}}s or {{wp|mastodon}}s, extinct relatives of elephants. Its spikes and tail are reminiscent of {{wp|dinosaur}}s. The combination of mammalian and reptilian traits may make Great Tusk be based on early {{wp|synapsids}}, also called "proto-mammals" and incorrectly called "mammal-like reptiles" in the past.
