[SET COMMENTS]

• With a great speed tier and a strong Meteor Beam, Eternatus is one of few Pokemon that can revenge kill low health foes and set up at the same time. With a sky high Special Attack stat, Eternatus becomes very threatening after getting a Special Attack boost from Meteor Beam. It can also be used to scare out Ho-Oh on hyper offense teams if it threatens to Defog away any entry hazards or screens.
• Eternatus serves as an effective offensive switch into Ho-Oh, Primal Kyogre, Marshadow, and Yveltal, giving the team great offenses and defensive capability at the same time. With a great offensive typing, Eternatus can also scare out foes such as Zygarde, Mega Salamence, Arceus-Fairy, and Giratina-O for its teammates.
• Sludge Bomb can help to poison and cripple checks to Eternatus such as Arceus, Calm Mind Primal Kyogre, and Ho-Oh if Power Herb has been used up.
• If tera has been used up, Fire Blast gives a much better chance to 2HKO defensive Necrozma-DM, and a guaranteed OHKO on Zacian-C, both of which Flamethrower is incapable of. If tera hasn’t been used up, Flamethrower is a much more consistent option as it is more accurate, and gets the same upsides as Fire Blast with Tera Fire.
• Meteor Beam Eternatus loves to Terastallize to further break walls. Tera Dragon can vitally remove Eternatus’s Ground-type weakness, and further power up Dynamax Cannon to break Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Ho-Oh if the Power Herb has been used up. Tera Fire can allow Eternatus to gain important resistances to Steel- and Fairy-types, and powers up Fire Blast or Flamethrower to better take care of defensive Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C.
• Meteor Beam Eternatus often finds itself on hyper offense teams where it can use entry hazards, or screens to enable Eternatus further. It can often be used to revenge kill low health Pokemon without giving up any momentum such as Xerneas, Primal Groudon, and Arceus-Dark. It can also try to bait in Ho-Oh where it can OHKO it with Meteor Beam. Eternatus can also find itself as a late-game sweeper, trying to finish everything off after chip damage after allies such as Xerneas, Arceus, and Zacian have weakened the opposing team.
• Eternatus loves being paired with different types of hyper offense leads. Sticky Web support from Shuckle allows Eternatus to outspeed Zacian-C and Deoxys-A without problem. Other entry hazards such as Stealth Rock and Spikes from Deoxys-S or Glimmora help chip down checks such as Arceus-Ground, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Necrozma-DM for Eternatus, and screens allow it to more efficiently be able to aggressively switch-in against threats such as Marshadow, Mega Salamence and Yveltal to start gaining momentum.

Add a bullet point about Sludge Bomb having a decent chance to poison, allowing it to potentially cripple checks, thus not being as simple as a STAB move to ignore description-wise.

Another bullet point explaining the upsides and downsides of Fire Blast over Flamethrower, and what they cover, in particular what'd otherwise wall it, would also be nice.

Should be implemented, thanks!

Okay, I'm allowed to self-stamp my trial QCs, and I bothered re-evaluating my previous QC.

The previous post is stamped now, you may now place QC 1/2 on the title of the thread.
