[SET COMMENTS]
Defensive Eternatus is a resilient presence in National Dex AG thanks to its phenomenal bulk, good utility movepool, good ability in Pressure, and immunity to Toxic. These traits allow it to wall almost the entire defensive metagame, as well as Primal Kyogre, Calm Mind Arceus-Water, and Yveltal that has Dynamaxed. Toxic Spikes allows Eternatus to take advantage of passive Pokemon such as Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, and Ferrothorn, providing incredibly useful support by putting almost all grounded Pokemon on a timer. Moreover, the status ailment also forces Arceus formes into using Refresh and the likes of defensive Zygarde-C and Primal Groudon into using Rest, forcing the opponent to forfeit momentum. Eternatus notably walls every single relevant Defogger in the metagame, even being capable of outstalling Arceus-Ground's Judgment PP, which allows it to independently secure the entry hazard game in longer matches by stalling Defoggers out of Defog PP. Flamethrower lets Eternatus pressure Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Necrozma-DM that could otherwise take advantage of it by setting entry hazards, while also deterring Zacian-C from switching into it. Toxic pressures and forces out Pokemon that could otherwise stay in indefinitely on it, such as non-Refresh Arceus formes and Ho-Oh, while also punishing switch-ins that could otherwise take advantage of it, such as Zygarde-C and Mega Rayquaza. Alternatively, Sludge Bomb allows Eternatus to punish Mega Rayquaza, Yveltal, Xerneas, and Mega Mewtwo Y more effectively if they try to switch in while still sporting a high chance to poison Ho-Oh and support Arceus formes. Black Sludge gives Eternatus a form of passive recovery, which helps it more reliably outlast Primal Kyogre and support Arceus-Ground. Alternatively, Firium Z can be used in order to OHKO Zacian-C as it uses Behemoth Blade or switches in. If Firium Z is used, the alternative EV spread of 192 HP / 76 SpA / 196 SpD / 44 Spe must be used to guarantee the OHKO on Zacian-C. Shed Shell can also be used in order to avoid trapping from Perish Song + Whirlpool support Arceus formes, Mega Gengar, and Gothitelle, allowing Eternatus to completely wall them. The given EV spread maximizes special bulk while outspeeding Primal Kyogre.

Eternatus fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate a reliable check to Primal Kyogre and useful Toxic Spikes support for breakers. Pokemon like Mega Rayquaza, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Calm Mind Arceus formes, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Yveltal especially appreciate Toxic Spikes, since their most common checks are grounded and will thus be on a timer from the moment they come in. Eternatus greatly appreciates a reliable check to Primal Groudon, especially Rest variants, which can otherwise threaten it with near-impunity. As such, defensive Zygarde-C and Arceus-Water both pair well with it. Eternatus is typically forced out by a wide range of offensive threats including Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, opposing Life Orb Eternatus, Swords Dance Arceus-Ground, and the likes of Yveltal and Kyogre under Dynamax. A strong backbone that can cover these threats is therefore crucial. Necrozma-DM goes a long way in forming one by hard checking Zacian-C and soft checking Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, and Mega Mewtwo Y. In return, it appreciates Eternatus's ability to PP stall Defoggers. The likes of Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Dark, and Tyranitar are all capable of easing the matchup against both Mega Rayquaza and Yveltal, with the former two also checking Dragon Dance Zygarde-C and the latter taking care of Life Orb Eternatus. Lunala and Chansey are interesting options to consider as well; Lunala hard checks Mega Rayquaza, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Swords Dance Arceus-Ground, while Thunder Wave Chansey limits Xerneas, Life Orb Eternatus, and Calm Mind Kyogre.

(Gonna rework this starting sentence, while this sentence isnt false, i think it does not portray what this etern set does best)
Defensive
Eternatus is a powerful defensive has a powerful presence in AG thanks to its phenomenal bulk and good utility movepool, allowing it to wall almost all the entire defensive metagame, offensive threats such as Kyogre Primal and Yveltal after Dynamax, and whittle down the offensive threats it doesn't wall - such as Primal Groudon, Xerneas, DD Zygarde and Mega Rayquaza. which allow it to check many common special attackers, such as Kyogre (CM LO is too strong to check and it is a shaky check to specs - these are the most common kyogre sets), Primal Kyogre, and support Arceus formes. Toxic Spikes allows Eternatus to take advantage of passive Pokemon, such as Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, and Ferrothorn by stacking layers while pressure-stalling them. . Toxic Spikes also lets . This lets Eternatus provide incredibly useful support to its team, by ensuring that almost all grounded Pokemon will be on a timer, or Arceus formes will be forced to waste a turn using cleansing Refresh itself each time it they comes in. Notably, Eternatus can switch freely into walls Ho-Oh, and can freely use Toxic Spikes - rapidly using up Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire and Defog PP due to Pressure rapidly wear down its Sacred Fires with Pressure. Additionally, Ho-Oh cannot reliably Defog on Eternatus, since its effective uses of Defog are cut in half by Pressure. Recover gives Eternatus an invaluable source of reliabley recovery, allowing it to Pressure-stall opponents throughout the match, and giving it the longevity to switch into attacks repeatedly. Toxic allows Eternatus to pressure and force out Pokemon that could otherwise stay in indefinitely on it, such as support Arceus-Water and Ho-Oh, while also punishing switch-ins that could otherwise take advantage of it, such as Zygarde and Mega Rayquaza. Toxic also allows Eternatus to pressure Ho-Oh, which can allow teammates to take advantage of it for free setup turns. Flamethrower lets Eternatus pressure Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Necrozma-DM which it cannot poison, which wcould otherwise be able to take advantage of it by setting hazards, while also deterring Zacian-C from switching into it by threatening heavy chip damage. Flamethrower can also allows Eternatus to PP stall Necrozma-DM's Morning Sun while also fishing for a Burn. Black Sludge gives Eternatus a form of passive recovery which can allow it to more reliably stay in on Kyogre, especially Choice Specs sets, in order to Pressure-stall them (Might be worth just getting rid of this point - Eternatus can't handle Specs Kyogre very well
252+ SpA Choice Specs Kyogre Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 212+ SpD Eternatus: 278-328 (57.4 - 67.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO - needs no crits, no freezes and relatively low rolls and a full HP etern to start with)
. Alternatively, Firium Z can be used in order to threaten an OHKO on Zacian-C after living a Behemoth Blade. If Firium Z is used, the alternative EV spread of 192 HP / 76 SpA / 196 SpD / 44 Spe can be used to guarantee the OHKO on Zacian-C. Additionally, Shed Shell can used in order to avoid trapping by Perish Song + Whirlpool Support Arceus formes, allowing Eternatus to completely wall them. The given EV spread maximizes special bulk while also outspeeding Timid Kyogre and Kyogre Primal, in order to reliably switch into them.

Eternatus fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to reliably check Kyogre while also providing useful support for breakers. Notably, Pokemon like Mega Rayquaza and Yveltal especially appreciate Eternatus' ability to set Toxic Spikes, since their most common checks are grounded and will thus be on a timer from the moment they come in. Eternatus especially appreciates a reliable check to Primal Groudon, which can otherwise threaten it with near-impunity, especially if the Primal Groudon has Rest. As such, Zygarde and Arceus-Water both pair well with Eternatus. In return, Eternatus' Toxic Spikes can allow Refresh Arceus-Water to stall out and kill Groudon-Primal. Perish Song Arceus formes can trap and kill defoggers such as Ho-Oh and appreciate Toxic Spikes, as common switchins such as Primal Groudon, and opposing Perish Song Arceus are threatened by them. Eternatus is also heavily pressured by Yveltal, so reliable Yveltal checks such as Arceus-Dark, Arceus-Fairy, and Tyranitar can also be good teammates. Mega Rayquaza is an especially good teammate for Eternatus, thanks to its ability to heavily pressure most defoggers and forcing numerous switches, which can cause more Pokemon on the opponent's team to be Poisoned by Eternatus' Toxic Spikes. Despite Eternatus' ability to threaten Zacian-C, it cannot switch in to Zacian-C's attacks, so Necrozma-DM can also pair well with it. Notably, Necrozma-DM's ability to demove Ho-Oh's Heavy Duty Boots with Knock Off can synergize well with Eternatus' capability to put Ho-Oh on a timer with Toxic, allowing it to be rapidly whittled down through Toxic and Hazard damage.

Defensive Eternatus has a powerful is a resilient -more accurate to the reality- presence in National Dex AG thanks to its phenomenal bulk and good utility movepool, a good ability in Pressure, and an immunity to Toxic. allowing it This allows it to wall almost all the entire defensive metagame, as well as offensive threats such as Primal Kyogre Primal, Calm Mind Arceus-Water, and Yveltal after Dynamax, and whittle down the offensive threats it doesn't wall - such as Primal Groudon, Xerneas, DD Zygarde and Mega Rayquaza. -since Toxic Spikes is what allows Eternatus to outlast these threats, this info is better mentioned after Toxic Spikes has been addressed- Toxic Spikes allows Eternatus to take advantage of passive Pokemon, such as Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, and Ferrothorn by stacking layers while pressure-stalling them -fluff-. This lets Eternatus provide incredibly useful support to its team, by ensuring that almost all grounded Pokemon will be on a timer, or Arceus formes will be forced to Refresh each time they come in Moreover, Toxic Spikes also forces Arceus formes into using Refresh, and the likes of defensive Zygarde-C and Primal Groudon into using Rest, forcing the opponent to forfeit momentum -since this is info that is independant from 'ensuring that almost all grounded Pokemon will be on a timer', it is better to emphasize it by putting it in its own sentence- . Notably, Eternatus walls Ho-Oh, and can freely use Toxic Spikes - rapidly using up Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire and Defog PP due to Pressure every single relevant Defogger in the metagame, even being capable of outstalling Arceus-Ground's Judgment PP, which allows it to independently secure the entry hazard game in longer matches by stalling Defoggers out of Defog PP.

Flamethrower allows Eternatus to PP stall Necrozma-DM's Morning Sun while also fishing for a Burn. -this is irrelevant; no good player would stay in on Eternatus with a Necrozma-DM- Black Sludge gives Eternatus a form of passive recovery which can allow it to more reliably stay in on outlast Primal Kyogre and support Arceus-Ground to Pressure-stall it. Alternatively, Firium Z can be used in order to threaten an OHKO on Zacian-C after living a Behemoth Blade or on the switch.

As such, defensive Zygarde-C and Arceus-Water both pair well with Eternatus. In return, Eternatus' Toxic Spikes can allow Refresh Arceus-Water to stall out and kill Groudon. -already fitted into the 2nd sentence- Perish Song Arceus formes can trap and kill defoggers such as Ho-Oh and appreciate Toxic Spikes, as common switchins such as Primal Groudon, and opposing Perish Song Arceus are threatened by them. -Perish Song Arceus formes aren't worth pointing out. Eternatus inherently outlasts almost every defensive Pokemon, which undermines the entire niche Perish Song Arceus formes bring to the table.- Eternatus is also heavily pressured by Yveltal, so reliable Yveltal checks such as Arceus-Dark, Arceus-Fairy, and Tyranitar can also be good teammates. Mega Rayquaza is an especially good teammate for Eternatus, thanks to its ability to heavily pressure most defoggers and forcing numerous switches, which can cause more Pokemon on the opponent's team to be Poisoned by Eternatus' Toxic Spikes.

Notably, Necrozma-DM's ability to demove Ho-Oh's Heavy Duty Boots with Knock Off can synergize well with Eternatus' capability to put Ho-Oh on a timer with Toxic, allowing it to be rapidly whittled down through Toxic and Hazard damage. -this bit of info lacks a good to follow structure and really doesn't extensively cover what is actually important to run alongside Eternatus- Eternatus is typically forced out by a plethora of offensive threats, including Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, opposing Life Orb Eternatus, Swords Dance Arceus-Ground, and the likes of Yveltal and Kyogre under Dynamax. A strong backbone that can cover these threats is therefore crucial. Necrozma-DM goes a long way in hard-checking Zacian-C, and soft-checking Mega Rayquaza, Xerneas, and Mega Mewtwo Y.

The likes of Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Dark, and Tyranitar are all capable of easing the matchup against both Mega Rayquaza and Yveltal, with the former two also checking Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, and the latter taking care of Life Orb Eternatus. Lunala and Chansey are interesting options to consider as well; Lunala is capable of hard-checking Mega Rayquaza, Dragon Dance Zygarde-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Swords Dance Arceus-Ground, while Thunder Wave Chansey limits Xerneas, Life Orb Eternatus, and Calm Mind Kyogre.

I had to rewrite a lot, the analysis wasn't entirely successful at covering the grand scheme of things in quite a few instances. A lot of adjustments were made as a result, but it should be fine if you make sure every adjustment is implemented.
