[SET COMMENTS]
* Wallbreaker Eternatus is an immensely threatening and not only maintains resiliency to passive damage that would wear down other offensive sets against bulkier teams but also lacks the passivity of defensive sets. This amalgamation of offensive and defensive traits provides valuable role compression for many bulky offense and balance teams, which appreciate wallbreaker Eternatus's consistency against both offensive and defensive playstyles.
* Recover provides wallbreaker Eternatus immense flexibility relative to other offensive sets. Eternatus often finds turns to use Recover on the switches it forces or against more passive Pokemon that struggle to meaningfully damage it such as Ho-Oh, Ferrothorn, or Yveltal attempting to KO with Sucker Punch.
* Meteor Beam provides Eternatus with the ability to easily remove Flying-types such as Ho-Oh and Yveltal. Meteor Beam also dissuades Pokemon that would otherwise switch into Eternatus such as Primal Kyogre or Primal Groudon, as they are unable to handle Eternatus's boosted attacks afterwards.
* Fire Blast is used over Flamethrower for increased damage, notably OHKOing Zacian-C at +1 and being able to 2HKO defensive Necrozma-DM. Fire-type coverage is run to easily handle Steel-types and Pokemon that utilize Tera Steel that would wall or set up on Eternatus such as Necrozma-DM, Zacian-C, and Giratina-O.
* Tera Fairy is the primary Tera type used by wallbreaker Eternatus. Tera Fairy enables Eternatus to comfortably switch into specially offensive Yveltal and prevents it from being revenge killed by Ditto. Eternatus can also Terastallize in a pinch to remove its Ground weakness against Pokemon aiming to revenge kill it such as Primal Groudon and Arceus-Ground. Eternatus's newfound Dragon immunity also helps against Giratina-O, Palkia-O, and opposing Eternatus.
* Wallbreaker Eternatus tends to enter the battle mid-game against defensive Pokemon such as Ho-Oh, utility Arceus-Fairy, and Ferrothorn. Eternatus can use these as an opportunity to boost, wallbreak, or both. It does not need to micromanage its health, as it often finds opportunities to use Recover against defensive Pokemon, so it is capable of sponging a hit beyond what is required in order to set up. Eternatus also has a great matchup into stall teams, as Chansey is often left with too little PP to stave off other special attackers such as Primal Kyogre after dealing with Eternatus thanks to Pressure.
* Alomomola is a fantastic teammate for wallbreaker Eternatus thanks to its ability to provide a slow pivot into Pokemon that Eternatus can beat. but is otherwise hesitant to switch directly into, such as Zygarde and defensive Eternatus. Zygarde is also an excellent partner for Eternatus, as it is the tier's best blanket physical wall to handle Pokemon such as Primal Groudon and Tera Blast Ground Zacian-C. Zygarde's paralysis support also enables Eternatus to easily revenge kill Pokemon such as Zacian-C and Ultra Necrozma with minimal risk.
* Choice Band Marshadow can handle the few specially defensive Pokemon that Eternatus struggles with such as Calm Mind Arceus formes and defensive Primal Kyogre. Zacian-C is another option, which handles Calm Mind Arceus formes that can otherwise use Eternatus for setup fodder.
