[SET COMMENTS]
Eternatus acts as a terrifying cleaner and setup sweeper, using its good natural bulk and typing to have an easier time against revenge killers. Meteor Beam allows Eternatus to lure in and OHKO Ho-Oh while providing extra firepower, and Fire Blast threatens Steel-types like Corviknight, Magearna, and Solgaleo, whereas Flamethrower is a weaker but more consistent alternative. Sludge Bomb nails Fairy-types like Arceus-Fairy, Altarianite Dragonite, and Hisuian Arcanine, while Recover provides longevity, allowing Eternatus to have an easier time against revenge killers like Altarianite Regieleki and Metagrossite Urshifu-R. Meteor Beam and Power Herb's single-use nature requires Eternatus to be used with offensive pivots that can wear down the opposing team like Altarianite Regieleki, Red Orb Raikou, and Metagrossite Urshifu-R; in return, it can clean up the opposing team. Entry hazard users like Arceus formes, Hisuian Arcanine, and Hisuian Samurott make for great partners, wearing down Eternatus's checks like Galarian Slowking, Arceus-Ground, and non-Heavy-Duty Boots Lunala throughout the course of the game.
