Fraxure (Japanese : オノンド Onondo ) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V .
It evolves from Axew starting at level 38 and evolves into Haxorus starting at level 48.
Biology
Fraxure is a bipedal, draconic Pokémon with long, gray tusks with red tips protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks are capable of breaking boulders. It has dark eyes with red irises, a gray face, and a cowl-like feature of green segments on its head, neck, back, and chest. Its arms have three red fingers, and its lower body is gray, with red speckles on the underbelly. It has red toes and a red tip on its tail. Fraxure is very violent and territorial. Fights over turf often break out between it and another Fraxure. After a fight, it sharpens its tusks on river rocks, as they do not regenerate. It lives alongside rivers. Fraxure engages in violent confrontations with Bisharp for the locations of sharping stones.

Trivia
Origin
Fraxure's tusks may draw inspiration from Dicynodonts , tusked synapsids with thick hides from the Permian era – most likely Placerias – though its elongated tusks seem more like pickaxe blades. Its crest may be based on a hadrosaurid (Saurolophus , specifically), or perhaps a Corytophanid such as the brown basilisk .
Fraxure's design was reverse-engineered from Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed. It was designed by Mana Ibe , along with the rest of it's evolutionary line.
Name origin
Fraxure may be a combination of fracture and axe .
Onondo may be a combination of 斧 ono (axe) and don (Ancient Greek for tooth ).
