To answer the question directly, no, you cannot catch more than one Great Tusk in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as it does not respawn after being caught, and the only other instance where it can be encountered is during the Titan battle, where it cannot be caught at that time. The Great Tusk can only be caught under two special circumstances: once after defeating it as a Titan Pokémon and later in the endgame Area Zero.
