You battle regular Eternatus.

Upon win, it transforms into Eternamax Eternatus.

Then you get in a raid battle with Hop, Zacian, and Zamazenta.

Ouch, no fighting moves yet. Can the leaker confirm if it can learn Body Press?
Body Press looks like it was made for Zamazenta given its effects, so hopefully it learns it.

Wasn't expecting Mr. Rime to get Slack Off and Rapid Spin of all moves. With Freeze-Dry, it reminds me of a Cryogonal set.

Most Fighting types that like Body Press like Bulk Up + Drain Punch more, but depending on what type of Pokemon learn the TR, it could provide some really nice coverage. Runerigus might use it? Fighting type coverage is useful but Superpower and Close Combat are already so widely distributed that I cannot see this move being optimal most of the time. What would be interesting, just at a glance, if a mon like Turtonator gets it, where it can hit a target's physical defense without wasting investment in Attack.

Looks like Aegislash-Shield now has 140 in both defenses, which could also mean 140 in offenses, as well. That's a welcome change. Hopefully, it becomes that much more manageable, but I suspect it'll still be one of the best Pokemon in the game. This also confirms older Pokemon will still receive stat buffs or nerfs.

Body Press has high potential on Falinks, provided it can be learned. No Retreat boosts all stats, so Falinks should be able to double dip on Body Press's effect- particularly seeing as Falinks has a competent base 100 defense. Close Combat will probably win out unless the defense increase is significant, but I can see it becoming favored on bulky boost sets.

Electox learning Boomburst is exciting for reasons that should be obvious. I believe it has potential as a wallbreaker, perhaps with a moveset of Boomburst/Overdrive/Sludge Wave/HP Fire. However, it's stats aren't especially inspiring, so this may be more of a lower tier threat than an OU one.

Electox (EDIT: Oh wait, that's Toxtricity! Forgot the name as well.) does look like the kind of mon that could learn Nasty Plot from the TR, too. Would be pretty terrifying if it gets it.

Nice. I'll just have to pray it can learn some nice poison jab/fire/eq/etc for good coverage via TM/TR.
