[SET COMMENTS]
Cosmic Power Eternatus acts as a deadly endgame cleaner thanks to its great bulk, good Speed tier, amazing Special Attack, and two outstanding setup moves in Cosmic Power and Meteor Beam. Meteor Beam powers up its damage output and nails foes like Ho-Oh, Corviknight, and Lugia. Dynamax Cannon can be used to hit foes like Galarian Slowking, Lunala, and Ground-types such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Red Orb Landorus. Alternatively, Sludge Bomb can be used for better odds against Fairy-types like Arceus-Fairy and Altarianite Dragonite as well as to potentially cripple answers like Calm Mind Lunala and specially defensive Garganacl. 176 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allow Eternatus to outspeed fast Arceus formes. Wallbreakers and offensive pivots such as Tough Claws Solgaleo, Gouging Fire, and Urshifu-R synergize well with Eternatus, since they can threaten and chip down defensive foes like Garganacl and Galarian Slowking for it to effectively clean later, with pivots also being useful in bringing it in safely. Eternatus is one of the best checks to Red Orb users like Raging Bolt and Raikou, especially Calm Mind variants that can otherwise muscle past a lot of would-be checks if given the turns to set up; this makes it particularly attractive as a teammate to Pokemon like the aforementioned Urshifu-R, since those Red Orb users are some of the few roadblocks to it. Eternatus is weak to Steel-types like Calm Mind Solgaleo and Magearna, so checks to them such as Lunala, the aforementioned Gouging Fire, and Red Orb users like Raging Bolt, Lugia, and Landorus are appreciated. Latiasite variants of the aforesaid Steel-types as well as Water-types like Arceus-Water and Hisuian Samurott also make great partners, as Eternatus often struggles to break past Ground-types, especially if it's running Sludge Bomb. Additionally, Hisuian Samurott and other entry hazard setters like Garganacl and Great Tusk are great teammates because Eternatus benefits from its answers such as the previously mentioned Ground- and Steel-types being chipped. Great Tusk is also useful in removing hazards, enabling Eternatus and its teammates to take as little chip as possible and do their job with minimum hindrance.

Cosmic Power Eternatus acts as a deadly endgame cleaner thanks to its great bulk, good Speed tier, amazing Special Attack, and access to two outstanding setup moves in its arsenal—Cosmic Power arsenal; Cosmic Power and Meteor Beam. Meteor beam Beam powers up its damage output and nails foes like Ho-Oh, Corviknight, and Lugia. Dynamax cannon Cannon can be used to hit foes like Galarian Slowking, Lunala, and Ground-types such as Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Red Orb Landorus. Alternatively, Sludge Bomb can be used for better odds against Fairy-types like Arceus-Fairy and Altarianite Dragonite as well as potentially crippling answers like Calm Mind Lunala and Specially Defensive Garganacl. Recover maintains its longetivity. 176 Speed EVs with Timid nature allows Eternatus to outspeed fast Arceus formes; the rest of the EVs are dumped into HP and Defense to maximize its bulk. Wallbreakers and offensive pivots such as Tough Claws Solgaleo, Gouging Fire, and Urshifu-R synergize well with Eternatus, since they can threaten and chip down defensive foes like Garganacl and Galarian Slowking for Eternatus to effectively clean later, with pivots also useful in bringing Eternatus in safely. Eternatus is vulnerable Change adjective, its not directly threatened by Steel-types but it is walled by them to Steel-types like Calm Mind Solgaleo and Magearna, so checks to them such as Lunala, Red Orb users like Raging Bolt, Lugia, and Landorus, and the aforementioned Gouging Fire are appreciated. The latiasite Latiasite variants of the aforesaid Steel-types and as well as Changed since it sounded like Solg and Mag were Water-types Water-types like Arceus-Water and Hisuian Samurott also make great partners, as Eternatus often struggles to break past Ground-types, especially if it's running Sludge Bomb. Hisuian Samurott and other entry hazard setters like Garganacl and Great Tusk also make great teammates because Eternatus benefits from its answers such as the previously mentioned Ground- and Steel-types being chipped, with Great Tusk also useful in removing hazards, enabling Eternatus and its teammates to take as less littlechip as possible and do their job with minimum hindrance.

Look pretty good. Biggest thing I would mention in team options is that cosmic power etern is one of the best checks to red orbers around, especially CM red orbers which can otherwise muscle past a lot of would be checks given the turns to set up; this makes it particularly attractive as a teammate to Urshifu, since those are one of the few roadblocks to it.
