Prankster Eternatus is an excellent blanket check to many dangerous offensive Pokemon, including Barraskewda, Zeraora, and Zamazenta. Prankster Recover allows it to check Fishious Rend and Bolt Beak users by reducing their power while recovering its health. Haze shuts down setup sweepers like Cotton Guard Zamazenta and Shift Gear Marshadow as well as removes Intrepid Sword boosts. Dynamax Cannon is the preferred STAB move to use due to its high Base Power, which threatens Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem-W, and Dynamax users that could otherwise overwhelm Eternatus. Scald is an alternate offensive move that has solid PP, good burn chance, and no Pokemon are immune to it, although its power is lacking and it allows Poison Heal users to switch in. Lava Plume can offer more damage to Steel-type Pokemon, but the prevalence of Flash Fire and Primordial Sea makes this option less appealing. The last moveslot is flexible depending on the team's needs. Encore locks opposing Pokemon into setup moves or prevents them from using coverage moves. Spikes is a good option, as Eternatus forces many switches and punishes Pokemon that resist Dynamax Cannon such as Zacian-C and Melmetal. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers such as Barraskewda and Zekrom and also prevents Zacian-C from switching in freely, but it can allow certain Poison Heal Pokemon like Zamazenta to switch in. Court Change is an option to clear entry hazards and is chosen over Defog since it isn't blocked by Dark-types and Psychic Terrain. A second offensive move such as Scald, Lava Plume, Venoshock, or Earth Power can also be run if the coverage is necessary. Bold nature is ideal to reduce the damage taken from physical moves like V-create, Fishious Rend, and Earthquake. Safety Goggles is equipped to prevent setup sweepers from crippling Eternatus with Spore.
Eternatus is extremely splashable on teams that require a blanket check to setup sweepers and some strong wallbreakers. Special walls such as Ice Scales Snorlax, Zamazenta-C, and Umbreon can check Mewtwo, Lunala, and Kyurem-W, which are threatening wallbreakers that can OHKO Eternatus. Eternatus can be overwhelmed by certain physical wallbreakers such as Galarian Darmanitan-Zen, Zekrom, Excadrill, and Kyurem-B, so checks like Flash Fire Steelix and Fur Coat Seismitoad can pair well; these Pokemon also appreciate how Eternatus checks threatening setup sweepers. Eternatus can check Imposter Pokemon transformed into offensive teammates like Choice Band Zamazenta, Barraskewda, and Zeraora, making them easy to fit on teams. In return, they can pressure the defensive Pokemon that switch in against Dynamax Cannon such as Melmetal, Zamazenta-C, and Zacian.
