Eternatus (Nasty Plot and Regenerator Spikes) [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

[SET COMMENTS]
Eternatus's great bulk and Speed tier make it an excellent Nasty Plot sweeper that has the capacity to set up multiple times in a match to soften defensive cores in the early-game and clean up weakened teams towards the late-game. Simple maximizes Eternatus's power after setting up, but it could opt instead for Mold Breaker, which gives it a better matchup against Ice Scales users and Steel-types with Flash Fire. Alternatively, Adaptability boasts greater initial power, which makes Eternatus less reliant on setting up and improves its ability to check Palkia and Xerneas. Blue Flare is a strong coverage option against Steel-types like Zamazenta-C and Magearna. Earth Power is a notably weaker but more accurate alternative that hits Steel-types with Flash Fire or Primordial Sea. Pixilate Xerneas is a great partner for this set, as it appreciates Eternatus softening up the special walls and Steel-types that it struggles with. Additionally, Poison Heal Regigigas loves to switch in on Spectral Thief and Nuzzle aimed at Eternatus. Imposter Chansey can scout opposing teams to identify opportunities for Eternatus to set up and has the massive special bulk necessary to handle Imposter users copying Eternatus. Zamazenta-C or Magearna with Flash Fire or Primordial Sea can Imposter-proof Blue Flare variants.

[SET]
name: Regenerator + Spikes
move 1: Spikes
move 2: Dragon Energy / Draco Meteor / Core Enforcer
move 3: Sludge Bomb
move 4: Volt Switch / Blue Flare / Trick
item: Life Orb / Dragon Fang / Black Sludge
ability: Regenerator
nature: Timid / Modest
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Regenerator gives Eternatus the longevity to switch in repeatedly and make progress with Spikes, powerful Dragon-type attacks, and Sludge Bomb poisonings. Dragon Energy is generally the Dragon STAB move of choice, as Regenerator keeps Eternatus at high HP. Draco Meteor is an alternative that offers less raw power but allows Eternatus to be played more aggressively, as its damage output is not lowered by taking hits. Volt Switch helps Eternatus chip down its checks, retain momentum, and escape from Anchor Shot, particularly against Zamazenta-C. Blue Flare is a less flexible, but more immediate method of breaking through Steel-types. Trick can be used alongside Black Sludge to cripple Magic Bounce users and special walls that would limit Eternatus's ability to make progress. Wallbreakers such as Pixilate Xerneas and Kyurem-B make for good teammates, as they are adept at forcing switches to maximize the effectiveness of Eternatus's Spikes. Eternatus's Regenerator can be exploited by Imposter Chansey for free recovery, so Pokemon like Magic Bounce Zamazenta-C or Pixilate Rapid Spin Magearna that prevent Imposter from doing too much harm make good partners. Teammates like Desolate Land Ho-Oh and RegenVest Kyogre can lure in Imposter users to Nuzzle them or remove their Eviolite with Knock Off, making it tougher for them to safely switch in against Eternatus later.

Eternatus's great bulk and speed tier make it an excellent Nasty Plot sweeper that has the capacity to set up multiple times in a match. It performs effectively at softening defensive cores in the early-game and at cleaning up weakened teams towards the end. Simple maximises Eternatus's power after setting up, but it could opt instead for Mold Breaker, which gives it a better matchup against Ice Scales users and Steel-types with Flash Fire. Alternatively, Adaptability boasts greater initial power to make Eternatus less reliant on setting up and improve its matchup against Topsy-Turvy Prankster users (Core Enforcer's ability surpressing effect means that Prankster Haze users can become free setup opportunities for Eternatus regardless of the chosen ability). np etern already bullies prank haze just because of core surpression, adapt being better into topsy specifically is prob worth mentioning Blue Flare is a strong coverage option against Steel-types like Zamazenta-Crowned and Magearna. Earth Power is a notably weaker but more accurate alternative that hits Steel-types with Flash Fire or Primordial Sea. Pixilate Xerneas is a great partner for this set, as it appreciates Eternatus softening up the special walls and Steel-types that it struggles with, and Poison Heal Regigigas loves to switch in on Spectral Thiefs and Nuzzles aimed at Eternatus. To handle Imposter users copying Eternatus, and possibly punish it for doing so with Nuzzle, massively specially bulky Pokemon like Ice Scales Ho-Oh or an Imposter Chansey of your own are reasonable options - notably, Imposter Chansey can also be used as a scouting tool, which can help Eternatus avoid debilitating paralysis when setting up. Alternatively, Zamazenta-C or Magearna with Flash Fire or Primordial Sea can Imposter-proof Blue Flare variants, although Zamazenta-C needs to remain healthy for this to be completely safe. leftovers +spdef needs to be above 83% to never be 2hko'd. inclusion of unaware or heal bell could be considered, but down to you.

GP 1/1! Please give berry credit for their check as well.

notes for berry

You missed one instance of STAB being used as a noun.
It should be "Imposter users" not "Imposters"
The "endgame" correction is entirely because I can't remember if we decided it was "endgame" or "end-game" so I switched it to "late-game" cause I knew that was correct lol.
Commas before "and" (and other linking words) should happen if it is linking two independent clauses; the one I removed in the first set is linking an independent clause with a dependent clause.
Similarly, commas should be placed before "as" and "since" if they mean "because" in a sentence, which is the one I added in the second set.

GP Team done
