[SET COMMENTS]
This set is found almost exclusively on hyper offense teams as a way to check Calyrex-S and prevent Defog with a fast Taunt. Knock Off comfortably 2HKOes the vast majority of Eternatus sets and prevents them from recovering HP with Taunt. Since this set only uses Dark-type moves, Black Glasses is usually chosen to prevent Life Orb's recoil. Life Orb can have situational usefulness, such as allowing Yveltal to OHKO offensive Kyogre sets after Stealth Rock chip and almost always OHKO Marshadow. Maximum Speed investment is used to have the greatest chance of landing Taunt on opposing Yveltal, while 68 Special Defense EVs prevent a 2HKO from Choice Specs-boosted Astral Barrage.

This set allows Yveltal to put much more pressure on Eternatus than a special set would, which is great for teammates like Rayquaza, Marshadow, Mewtwo, and Weavile, which can be threatened by a faster Eternatus. However, it comes at the cost of coverage. Lacking Oblivion Wing or Rock Slide means Yveltal can't punish opposing Yveltal well should they win the Speed tie and get a Defog off, while Ho-Oh can play mind games between using Sacred Fire or Defog. Thus, this set tends to be used more with Aerodactyl, Excadrill, and Froslass leads, since losing their entry hazards tends to not be as critical as it would be for a Sticky Web team. Since Xerneas easily comes in on this set, Necrozma-DM is a highly recommended teammate, and it also provides useful security against Galarian Darmanitan. Buzzwole walls this set, so teammates such as Meteor Beam Eternatus and Nasty Plot Calyrex-S work well with it. Eternatus as well as Zekrom are appreciated for being able to switch into Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire.

I would probably add a mention of Life Orb's power being situationally useful in the set comments, even if you dont outright slash it. Things like having good odds of OHKOing Kyogre after Stealth Rock chip, and almost always OHKOing Marshadow, as examples.

Otherwise looks good and is a solid update on a used set currently lacking on the analysis, just need to fix up some GP stuff Lasen will cover before you send it to GP.

QC 1/2.

This set is found almost exclusively on hyper offense teams as a way to check Calyrex-S and prevent Defog with a fast Taunt. By focusing on Attack, Yveltal's Knock Off becomes extremely difficult to switch into, comfortably 2HKOs ing the vast majority of Eternatus and preventing their recovery prevents them from recovering HP with Taunt. Since this set only uses Dark-type moves, Black Glasses prevent Life Orb's recoil, and the lack of Oblivion Wing means (can't cross-reference sets which Oblivion Wing mention falls under)and Roost grants you a consistent recovery option(explain why you need to be at full health aka to check Calyrex-S-or you can remove Roost as a mention). Life Orb can have situational usefulness, such as OHKOing offensive Kyogre sets after Stealth Rock chip and almost always OHKOing Marshadow. The given EV spread is used to have the greatest chance of landing Taunt on opposing Yveltal, while 68 Special Defense EVs prevent a 2HKO from Choice Specs Astral Barrage.

This set puts much more pressure on Eternatus than a special attacking set would, which is great for teammates like Rayquaza, Marshadow, Mewtwo, and Weavile who which can be threatened by a faster Eternatus. However, it comes at the cost of coverage. Lacking Oblivion Wing or Rock Slide means Yveltal can't punish opposing Yveltal well should they win the speed tie and get a Defog off, while Ho-Oh can play mind games between using Sacred Fire or Defog.

Buzzwole hard walls this set, so teammates such as Meteor Beam Eternatus or Nasty Plot Calyrex-S work well with it. Eternatus as well as Lum Berry Zekom (I've never seen Lum this gen, maybe change to Kyogre? very subjective point tho) are appreciated for being able to switch into Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire.

The content is fantastic as always!

This set puts allows Yveltal to put much more pressure on Eternatus than a special set would, which is great for teammates like Rayquaza, Marshadow, Mewtwo, and Weavile, (AC) which can be threatened by a faster Eternatus. However, it comes at the cost of coverage. Lacking Oblivion Wing or Rock Slide means Yveltal can't punish opposing Yveltal well should they win the Speed (Capitalize) tie and get a Defog off, while Ho-Oh can play mind games between using Sacred Fire or Defog. Thus, this set tends to be used more with Aerodactyl, Excadrill, or and Froslass leads, since losing their entry hazards tends to not be as critical as it would be for a Sticky Web team. Since Xerneas easily comes in on this set, Necrozma-DM is a highly recommended teammate, and it also provides useful security against Galarian Darmanitan.
