[SET COMMENTS]
With its great defensive typing, sky high Special Attack stat, and good STAB combination, Eternatus acts as one of Mix and Mega's most threatening special wallbreakers. Fire Blast gives coverage into Steel-types like Solgaleo, Magearna, and Sablenite Corviknight; Flamethrower is a more consistent alternative, but the drop in power makes it lose out on damage thresholds like OHKOing Sablenite Corviknight after Stealth Rock. Recover increases Eternatus's survivability and lets it offset Life Orb recoil and other chip damage. Life Orb Eternatus is typically seen on more offensive teams looking for a solid wallbreaker. Pokemon that hard wall Eternatus like Blissey and Blue Orb Magearna and Pokemon that can use it as setup fodder like Iron Boulder and Calm Mind Venusaurite Solgaleo can give it a tough time. As a result, Pokemon like Great Tusk and Arceus-Ground that can deal with these threats are good teammates. Naturally faster threats like Weavile and Walking Wake and priority from Arceus can directly threaten Eternatus; this makes Pokemon that can handle these threats like Arceus-Fairy, Galarian Slowking, and Sablenite Corviknight good partners.
