Can you give advice on taking care of a Axew and eventually Haxorus? I’m especially worried about the tusks, so any info on dealing with those is appreciated!

Although this entry covers both the jangmo-o and axew lines equally, it may still be of some use to you, anonymous: http://bills-pokedex.tumblr.com/post/155566649591/what-are-the-proper-ways-to-care-for-a-jangmo-o-i

As for the tusks, they’re actually much easier to take care of than one would think. While it’s true that it’s possible for fraxure tusks to break off and that these tusks will not grow back, the tusks are actually highly resilient, and it takes a considerable amount of force for a fraxure to lose one. Axew and haxorus, by contrast, have to worry less about losing tusks. This is because axew tusks fall out and grow back quite frequently, and haxorus tusks can’t be broken off at all. So once you receive your axew, don’t be surprised if you find tusks lying about your home now and then. Simply dispose of the tusks and give your axew wet food until a new tusk grows in, and provide your axew with something to chew on to help strengthen its jaws and teeth. As for fraxure, be sure it has a rock or wooden post that will allow it to sharpen its tusks whenever it wishes, and as for haxorus, all it will need is occasional polishing. (Its lower forms will need routine tooth brushing, but that’s something you should be doing with all of your toothed pokémon anyway.)

Best of luck, anonymous!
