Eternatus (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

As [[JN044|seen]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Eternatus can use its energy core to target a Pokémon and force it to Dynamax or Gigantamax. The anime also elaborates upon its ability to block other Pokémon from Dynamaxing, depicting this power as Eternatus absorbing the Galar particles in the area to make them unavailable for other Pokémon to use. It is also shown to be capable of forcibly reverting other Pokémon that have already Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed through the same process. As seen in chapter [[PASS30]] of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, its poison also has the capability of changing someone's behavior, making them violent and selfish, as shown with {{Henry}} after he touched some of Eternatus's poison. As later mentioned by {{ga|Calyrex}} in [[PASS38]], both met during the first Darkest Day. In the anime, [[Rose]] coined Eternatus's name, but in the past, it was known as the "'''Darkest Day'''", as referred by the people of Galar who feared it 3000 years ago.

Eternatus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Dynamax Cannon}} and {{m|Eternabeam}}.

===Forms===

When Eternatus absorbed all the energy in the Galar region, it transformes into its [[Eternamax]] form, which is its original form and is far larger than its default form, becoming the tallest Pokémon in existence, even bigger than any Gigantamax Pokémon. Eternatus will also briefly enter this form when using {{m|Eternabeam}}, one of its signature moves.

==Trivia==

* Eternatus is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 690.

* Eternatus, in both of its forms, is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

* Eternatus is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Poison}} and {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also the heaviest Pokémon overall introduced in Generation VIII.

* Eternatus, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}} are the only Pokémon available in {{g|Sword and Shield}} that cannot [[Dynamax]].

** Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into Zacian, Zamazenta, or Eternatus will also be unable to Dynamax.

** Despite this, Eternatus is still capable of using [[Max Move]]s in its Eternamax form. This makes it the only non-Dynamax Pokémon that can use Max Moves.

** If the {{player}} has no storage space, an extra box will be unlocked to make room for Eternatus.<ref name="Developers' foresight" />

* Eternatus is the first Legendary Pokémon that can be {{pkmn2|caught}} with any Poké Ball without the chance of failing.

*** A [[level]] 100 Eternamax Eternatus could reach 655 in one of these stats, which would cause the stat to overflow to 0, due to a quirk in the coding for {{g|Sword and Shield}} which affects no other Pokémon.

** Has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 1125. This also makes it the only Pokémon with a four-digit base stat total.

* Eternatus and {{p|Regigigas}} have very similar category names in Japanese, with the only difference being in how they're written: Regigigas's category name is in {{wp|hiragana}} (きょだいポケモン), while Eternatus's category name is in {{wp|katakana}} (キョダイポケモン). In either case, the category name is pronounced the same: {{tt|''Kyodai Pokémon''|Gigantic Pokémon}}.

* Unlike other Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Eternatus is animated with 3D animation rather than 2D during the {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} arc. Currently, it is the only Pokémon to have this distinction.
