Eternatus maxes out! One of Ubers's most popular Kyogre and Ho-Oh checks thanks to its bulk and typing as well as Pressure and Recover, it also serves as a Toxic Spikes absorber due to the lack of entry hazard removers in Ubers. Dynamax Cannon deals decent damage to switch-ins like Arceus-Ground while dissuading Miraidon and Koraidon from switching in and setting up. Toxic Spikes give Eternatus fantastic utility, since many teams can't reliably remove them, pressuring defensive foes like Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Ground, and Ting-Lu, while Flamethrower prevents Steel-types like Necrozma-DM and Zacian-C from using Eternatus as setup fodder. Toxic complements Toxic Spikes by wearing down Ho-Oh and Heavy-Duty Boots users like Kyogre and Miraidon. This spread allows Eternatus to outspeed neutral-natured Arceus formes. Tera Fairy lets Eternatus deal with Miraidon and Koraidon better, while Tera Grass helps against Arceus-Ground. Even with Flamethrower, Eternatus is threatened by Necrozma-DM and Zacian-C, so teammates like Koraidon and Ho-Oh can handle them. This set also lacks offense, so it pairs well with wallbreakers like Arceus and Miraidon that can beat defensive foes and benefit from Eternatus absorbing Toxic Spikes.

Moves should be this:
- Dynamax Cannon
- Toxic Spikes / Flamethrower
- Toxic
- Recover

Toxic is definitely mandatory, you don't check Kyogre at all otherwise, which is Eternatus's main role. Eternatus's other big utility is absorbing and setting toxic spikes, which is huge as some critical defensive mons like Ting-Lu and Arceus Fairy/Water/Ground are all very weak to Toxic Spikes; in the same vein, Eternatus is great at setting them as the majority of teams don't have any way to remove them. Put the major emphasis on these two points.

No Flamethrower may seem odd, but Eternatus works the best on balance teams who should have ways to handle Necrozma-DM and Zacian-C anyway, and the utility of setting Toxic Spikes often gives way more momentum than Flamethrower would.

Tera Grass is pretty good for getting the jump on Arceus-Ground, so I'd slash it.

Tag me after update and I'll QC:blobthumbsup:

Good morning Manaphy (I'm over the character limit by a fairly significant amount so please tell me if there's stuff I can cut)
