For example, a Phanpy that due to circumstances reactivates dormant genes and evolves into a Great Tusk (There are geneticists who do this with chicken embryos) this would become the alpha of the pack and would advance converted into a large ball that creates roads in its wake, so that the Donphan and Phanpy can travel, Great Tusk reminds me of a prehistoric version of Bessie (Basic Service Equipment Road Paving Machine)
