Read more ↓Axew, the Tusk Pokémon, is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, hailing from the Unova region. It is known for its distinctive tusks, which it uses to mark its territory by carving gashes into trees. These tusks are incredibly resilient, and even if one breaks, a new one grows back quickly. Axew is the first stage in an evolutionary line, evolving into Fraxure and then into the formidable Haxorus. In the wild, Axew are typically found in forests and mountainous regions, often living in small family groups. They are generally peaceful but will defend themselves and their territory if threatened. In the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum's companion Iris owns an Axew, which plays a significant role throughout the Black & White series, showcasing its playful yet determined personality. Its evolution into Haxorus is a testament to its growth and power. Axew's design, inspired by dinosaurs and dragons, appeals to many fans, making it a popular choice for trainers in the games and a recognizable figure in the Pokémon universe.
