Eternatus @ Power Herb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 164 HP / 252 SpD / 92 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dragon Pulse
- Meteor Beam
- Cosmic Power
- Recover

Outliving the majority of the tier thanks to Pressure, outspeeding the entire tier bar Zacian and Calyrex-S, and good Special Attack make Eternatus a prominent presence within Ubers. Cosmic Power allows it to hold its own against enormous threats such as Choice Specs Kyogre, Choice Band Zacian, and Geomancy Xerneas. Power Herb and Meteor Beam go hand in hand, making way for Eternatus to comfortably deal with Ho-Oh and Yveltal while boosting its already-high Special Attack stat to astronomical levels. Dragon Pulse targets a majority of the tier for neutral or super effective damage and heavily dents opposing Eternatus. Eternatus pairs well with Necrozma-DM and Yveltal, as they pressure the tier's most significant threats, Zacian and Calyrex-S, respectively which are also eminent threats to Eternatus. Zacian and Calyrex-S also appreciate Eternatus as a reliable wall. Lunala also compliments Eternatus well due to its ability to deal with both Groudon and Zygarde-C.

This Ubers Premier League game exhibits Eternatus's potency:

you should also explain that eternatus' speed allows him to be faster than almost every mon in the tier besides zacian and calyrex without having to invest too much on speed (idk if you have to explain the evs here, but the speed is to outspeed adamant marshadow). you can also mention band zacian, geoxern and offensive eternatus for the pokemons that this set manages to beat more easily.

QC 1/1

Decent defensive typing, great bulk, good offensive stats, a Speed stat that allows it to outspeed the entire metagame bar Zacian-H and Calyrex-S, in tandem with an amazing ability in Pressure make Eternatus a prominent presence within Ubers, the lattermost of which also plays a major role in Eternatus's ability to outlive majority of the tier. Cosmic Power boosts Eternatus's defenses to substantial levels, allowing it to hold it's own against otherwise troublesome Outliving the majority of the tier thanks to Pressure, outspeeding the entire tier bar Zacian and Calyrex-S, and good Special Attack make Eternatus a prominent presence within Ubers. Cosmic Power allows it to hold its own against enormous (lmk if any changes or removals you're not liking; one i'll point out is pressure, which id prefer you explain a bit more if you want to keep it. but if not, that's also fine) threats such as Choice Specs Kyogre, Choice Band Zacian, and Geomancy Xerneas. Power Herb and Meteor Beam go hand in hand, making way for Eternatus to comfortably deal with Ho-Oh and Yveltal (RC) while boosting its already-high Special Attack stat to astronomical levels. Dragon Pulse targets a majority of the tier for neutral or super effective damage (RC) and heavily dents opposing Eternatus. Eternatus pairs well with Necrozma-DM and Yveltal, (AC) as they pressure the tier's most significant threats, Zacian-H and Calyrex-S, respectively, while those same threats also pair up well with Eternatus as they appreciate it's ability to function which are also Eternatus's biggest threats. Zacian and Calyrex-S also appreciate Eternatus (I imagine?) as a reliable wall. Lunala also compliments Eternatus well due to its ability to deal with both Groudon and Zygarde-C.
