[SET COMMENTS]
  • Eternatus is one of the biggest threats in National Ubers because it's the premier Kyogre-Primal check with its wonderful typing againts bulky waters typing, great bulk, Speed, reliable recovery, and access to very good attack moves. he also provides important soft checks of a their threats, most notably Ho-Oh and Marshadow or Kyogre-Primal. Eternatus is also an offensively threatening Pokemon with their high stats, Helped by strong attacks such as Dynamax Cannon, Sludge Wave and Flamethrower. He’s also immune to Toxic and clears the opposing Toxic Spikes. However, apart from a Water resistance and very good Toxic immunity due to the glimmora presence, He's stay Pretty weak without teracristalization againts top-tiers threats like Groudon-Primal and Necrozma Ultra, due to is typing who make him weak to psychic and ground types
  • Draco Meteor: A potent Dragon-type move with high damage output, but it lowers Eternatus's Special Attack after use.
    Toxic Spikes: Setting up Toxic Spikes can poison incoming opponents, wearing them down over time.
    Recover: A reliable recovery move that allows Eternatus to regain health and stay in battle longer.
    Fire blast and sludge wave are prefered for more immediate powers and creating holes in teams
  • The EV spread focuses on maximizing Eternatus's Speed and Special Attack stats, with a minor investment in Defense for added bulk.
  • Tera fire allow Eternatus to survive more easily a play rough from Zacian Crowned and also to boost fire blast power, Tera dragon allow Eternatus to do Incredible damage with draco meteor or dynamax canon
  • Zacian Crowned: An excellent offensive partner with great power and complementary type coverage to Eternatus.
    Zygarde Complete: Can provide good defence and a solid field presence to support Eternatus' attacks.
    Yveltal: Another powerful special attack Pokémon that can help deal with opposing types that threaten Eternatus.
    Necrozma Dawn Wings: Can provide additional defensive support and cover options for the team.
    In terms of play style, in the competitive environment of Ubers, it's often best to have a more offensive team to compete with the powerful and legendary Pokémon that populate this tier. By incorporating Pokémon capable of supporting Eternatus while also being able to put pressure on the opposing team. Eternatus will be used as a wallbreaker, But May be played carefuly)
  • Eternatus like to be accompagned with fast pivots or with pokemons that can remove ice or grounds types

[SET COMMENTS]
  • Bullet on general positive traits and niche of the Pokemon
  • 1-2 bullets on moves / items / abilities if they’re not self-explanatory, no need to explain if not
  • Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
  • Bullet on Tera type and usage (if applicable) - would recommend keeping this one in most cases due to it being a new mechanic
  • 1-2 bullets on general usage tips
  • 1-2 bullets for teammates (if applicable)

Oh, it seems this is your first time doing C&C work in general, so there'll be considerable changes most likely, please apply the stuff below then post here saying so, so I can then corroborate its quality for a potential QC 1/2.

As an extension of the above please look at the resources provided in the reservation index, namely the Spelling and Grammar Standards, and how to implement a QC check (and by extension this).

[SET COMMENTS] Bullet points were re-formatted to suit the SmogDex, please use this format
* Eternatus is one of the biggest threats in National Ubers because it's the premier Kyogre-Primal check with its wonderful typing againts bulky waters typing, great bulk, Speed, reliable recovery, and access to very good attack moves. he also provides important soft checks of a their threats, most notably Ho-Oh and Marshadow or Kyogre-Primal. Eternatus is also an offensively threatening Pokemon with their high stats, Helped by strong attacks such as Dynamax Cannon, Sludge Wave and Flamethrower. He’s also immune to Toxic and clears the opposing Toxic Spikes. However, apart from a Water resistance and very good Toxic immunity due to the glimmora presence, He's stay Pretty weak without teracristalization againts top-tiers threats like Groudon-Primal and Necrozma Ultra, due to is typing who make him weak to psychic and ground types What? This set is not a Primal Kyogre check at all, it's a soft check at best, and so shouldn't be highlighted as much, let alone redundantly, this description over the general niche and positive traits of the Pokemon is also too large and several bits such as its immunity to Toxic and absorbing Toxic Spikes pertains better the usage tips section, Primal Groudon and Ultra Necrozma (those are also the spellings to use for them in analyses by the way) also are poor examples of checks it loses to by requiring to Terastallize, Primal Groudon is 2HKOed to ease a sweep mid- to late-game, and the Ultra Necrozma matchup cares more about speed as either can OHKO the other anyways.
* Draco Meteor: A potent Dragon-type move with high damage output, but it lowers Eternatus's Special Attack after use.
Toxic Spikes: Setting up Toxic Spikes can poison incoming opponents, wearing them down over time.
Recover: A reliable recovery move that allows Eternatus to regain health and stay in battle longer.
Fire blast and sludge wave are prefered for more immediate powers and creating holes in teams That's not how the move section is formatted, for this tier it's being requested to not cover aspects that are self explanatory or already covered by the move dex, meaning that you shouldn't merely describe the innate attributes (type, BP) or similar, but what Eternatus does with them, in what matchups such moves exactly help, and regarding similar moves (say, Dynamax Cannon to Draco Meteor), what stuff is reached by one that the other doesn't and at what cost (OHKOes and 2HKOes reached in this case). Also reword as mentioned above regarding Recover not being a part of the set, Sludge Wave for the record is also a no to even mention as the poison chance to 2HKO foes such as Ho-Oh from Sludge Bomb is more valuable, unless you know of a OHKO or 2HKO ensurely reached by the very low BP increase. You'd want to look at other currently approved uploaded analyses for the tier to have a far better grasp of what's desired in terms of wording and so on.
* The EV spread focuses on maximizing Eternatus's Speed and Special Attack stats, with a minor investment in Defense for added bulk. Self explanatory
* Tera fire allow Eternatus to survive more easily a play rough from Zacian Crowned and also to boost fire blast power, Tera dragon allow Eternatus to do Incredible damage with draco meteor or dynamax canon Any justification for Tera Poison as proposed in the set? If not please remove it, also avoid leaving offensive Tera types vague in terms of more or less damage output given/taken, use calculations and mention stuff among the lines of "ensures a 2HKO on Y", "Avoids a OHKO from X", and "ensures a OHKO on Z after Stealth Rock"
Add a bullet point regarding general usage tips for this set of Eternatus, such as for example how it should be used early-game, when it could expect a switch and how to abuse that, when it should Terastallize, and so on.

* Zacian Crowned: An excellent offensive partner with great power and complementary type coverage to Eternatus.
Zygarde Complete: Can provide good defence and a solid field presence to support Eternatus' attacks.
Yveltal: Another powerful special attack Pokémon that can help deal with opposing types that threaten Eternatus.
Necrozma Dawn Wings: Can provide additional defensive support and cover options for the team.
In terms of play style, in the competitive environment of Ubers, it's often best to have a more offensive team to compete with the powerful and legendary Pokémon that populate this tier.

* Eternatus like to be accompagned with fast pivots or with pokemons that can remove ice or grounds types
The teammates section is not meant to just name drop specific Pokemon, you're meant to focus on particular roles (suicide leads, wallbreakers of a certain type) or attributes (resisting Z type or not minding entry hazards to check/mitigate particular counterplay to this set of Eternatus) that'd complement Eternatus, then mention some Pokemon that fit the criteria, this is meant to guide users to make a team, not to limitantly give them a team.

Sorry to butt in, but I would use Sludge Bomb as a replacement for Sludge Wave, due to it putting pressure on Pokemon like Ho-Oh and Chansey :)

This is being reassigned given the apparent lack of meta knowledge (as explained in my half QC post), changes to fix this would require to basically rewrite the whole thing and I should've just QC rejected this earlier.
