[SET COMMENTS]
Life Orb Eternatus is a good wallbreaker and most importantly a Toxic Spikes absorber that is usually seen on hyper offense teams. Both Fire Blast and Flamethrower are used for Zacian-C and Tera Steel Pokemon. Fire Blast is preferred because it OHKOes Zacian-C with one layer of Spikes, but Flamethrower is a more reliable, weaker alternative. Recover allows Eternatus to preserve its HP, allowing it to have its presence for longer in the game. After one Agility, Eternatus outspeeds the whole metagame, making it harder to revenge kill and potentially letting it clean up weakened teams. Since Agility makes Eternatus faster than the whole metagame, a Modest nature can be run for more power. Alternatively, Toxic Spikes can be run to rack up poison damage on foes for teammates. Tera Steel gives Eternatus a much-needed resistance to Dragon-type moves from Koraidon and Miraidon, Extreme Speed from Arceus, Psychic-type moves from Calyrex-S, and Steel- and Fairy-type moves from Zacian-C. Tera Fire also helps against Zacian-C, lets Fire Blast OHKO Tera Steel Giratia after Stealth Rock, and lets Flamethrower OHKO Zacian-C. Tera Dragon boosts Dynamax Cannon, 2HKOing bulky Arceus formes, 3HKOing Ting-Lu, and 2HKOing bulky Kyogre. Eternatus appreciates teammates that put pressure on Ting-Lu, which include Pokemon like Swords Dance Koraidon, Nasty Plot Calyrex-S, Extreme Killer Arceus, Arceus-Ground, and Arceus-Fairy. Calyrex-S, Eternatus, and Miraidon weaken Ting-Lu for each other, enabling one of them to potentially sweep. This allows Pokemon like Extreme Killer Arceus, Arceus-Fairy, and Arceus-Ground to use Eternatus getting revenge killed as an opportunity. Extreme Killer Arceus can use Choice-locked Calyrex-S as an opportunity to set up Swords Dance, Arceus-Fairy can use Koraidon to set up Calm Mind, and Arceus-Ground can threaten out Zacian-C, enabling it to set up Dragon Dance or Calm Mind. Hyper offense leads such as Ribombee, which lets Eternatus outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, and Glimmora, which sets up entry hazards to weaken checks such as Ting-Lu, are appreciated.

Life Orb Eternatus is a good wallbreaker and most importantly a Toxic Spikes absorber, (comma) which that is usually seen on hyper offense teams. Sludge Bomb mainly hits through Arceus-Fairy, making it difficult for Arceus-Fairy to safely switch in. Dynamax Cannon, or more accurately, Eternatus’ most spammable STAB, allows it to hit Pokemon like Koraidon and Miraidon for super effective damage, while hitting Pokemon like Arceus formes, Ting-Lu, Toxapex, Skeledirge and Landorus-T for respectable neutral damage. (these STAB moves are pretty self explanatory) Both Fire Blast and Flamethrower are used for Zacian-C and Tera Steel types Pokemon. Fire Blast is preferred over Flamethrower because of the odds against Zacian-C and Tera Steel types and just more power in general because it OHKOes Zacian-C with one layer of Spikes, but Flamethrower is a more reliable, weaker alternative. (most notable thing the extra power helps with) (because it's slashed, I'd add a sentence about how Recover makes Eternatus harder to revenge kill by keeping it healthy here) After one Agility, Eternatus outspeeds the whole metagame, including Pokemon like Choice Scarf Koraidon and Calyrex-S, allowing it to wallbreak more effectively making it harder to revenge kill and potentially letting it clean up weakened teams. (doesn't really improve its ability to break through walls) Alternatively, Toxic Spikes can be ran to rack up Poison on the opposing team, providing vital chip poison damage on foes for teammates. (specifying that Eternatus doesn't really take advantage of Toxic Spikes itself) Tera Steel gives Eternatus a much needed resistance to Dragon STABs much-needed resistances to Dragon-type moves from Koraidon and Miraidon, while also giving it a resistance to Extreme Speed and Psychic STAB from Extreme Killer Arceus and Calyrex-S, respectively Extreme Speed from Arceus, Psychic-type moves from Calyrex-S, and Steel- and Fairy-type moves from Zacian-C. (Tera Steel helps versus Zacian-C too) Tera Fire makes Eternatus resist Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C, while also boosting Fire Blast to respectable levels also helps against Zacian-C and lets Fire Blast OHKO Tera Steel Giratina-O after Stealth Rock and Flamethrower OHKO Zacian-C. (probably the most notable KOs Tera Fire enables) Tera Dragon boosts Dynamax Cannon, (comma) to even more insane levels, while removing it‘s letting it 2HKO bulky Arceus formes, 3HKO Ting-Lu, and 2HKO bulky Kyogre, (a few relevant calcs) and removes Eternatus's Ground weakness. Eternatus appreciates teammates which that put pressure on Ting-Lu, which includes include Pokemon like Swords Dance Koraidon, Nasty Plot Calyrex-S, Extreme Killer Arceus, (comma) and Arceus Ground and Fairy Arceus-Ground, and Arceus-Fairy. (I would consider breaking this up to put more focus on Calyrex-S/Miraidon/Eternatus weakening Ting-Lu for each other and mention which Pokemon can use foes revenge killing Eternatus as an opportunity, like Arceus-Fairy for Koraidon, Arceus for Calyrex-S, and Arceus-Ground for Zacian-C) Eternatus also appreciates Sticky webs Web from Ribombee, which make it faster than major majority of the metagame. (I'd mention Glimmora as an alternative entry hazard lead)

After one Agility, Eternatus outspeeds the whole metagame, making it harder to revenge kill and potentially letting it clean up weakened teams. (you have 'make it harder to revenge kill' twice here which is kinda repetitive - is that the reason both moves are run? is recover not to let it check more defensively too?) Since Agility makes Eternatus faster than the whole metagame, a Modest Nature nature can be ran run for more power. Alternatively, Toxic Spikes can be ran run to rack up poison damage on foes for teammates. Tera Steel gives Eternatus a much-needed resistance to Dragon-type moves from Koraidon and Miraidon, Extreme Speed from Arceus, Psychic-type moves from Calyrex-S, and Steel- and Fairy-type moves from Zacian-C. Tera Fire also helps against Zacian-C, (AC) and lets Fire Blast OHKO Tera Steel Giratina after Stealth Rock, (AC) and lets Flamethrower OHKO Zacian-C. Tera Dragon boosts Dynamax Cannon, letting it 2HKOing (a lot of repetition of 'letting it') bulky Arceus formes, 3HKOing Ting-Lu, and 2HKOing bulky Kyogre. Eternatus appreciates teammates that put pressure on Ting-Lu, which include Pokemon like Swords Dance Koraidon, Nasty Plot Calyrex-S, Extreme Killer Arceus, Arceus-Ground, (AC) and Arceus-Fairy. Calyrex-S, Eternatus, (AC) and Miraidon weaken Ting-Lu for each other, enabling one of them to potentially sweep. This allows Pokemon like Extreme Killer Arceus, Arceus-Fairy, and Arceus-Ground to use Eternatus getting revenge killed as an opportunity. Extreme Killer Arceus can use Choice-locked Calyrex-S as an opportunity to set (space) up Swords Dance, Arceus-Fairy can use Koraidon to set (space) up Calm Mind, and Arceus-Ground can threaten out Zacian-C, enabling it to set (space) up Dragon Dance or Calm Mind. Hyper offense leads such as Ribombee, which lets Eternatus outspeed the entire unboosted metagame, and Glimmora, which sets up entry hazards to weaken checks such as Ting-Lu, are appreciated.
