If you are looking to use Eternatus in Balanced Hackmons, it's simple. Simple Eternatus is a terrifyingly powerful wallbreaker that overwhelms opposing walls like Zamazenta-C and Ho-Oh with its +4 Special Attack. Core Enforcer hits Prankster Haze Pokemon such as Ho-Oh and Zygarde-C and suppresses their ability, which makes setting up Nasty Plot easier. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-types like Xerneas and Tapu Fini and can be used to fish for poison on walls. Coverage options for Simple Eternatus include Blue Flare and Earth Power; the former is a stronger move that is strong against most Steel-types like Celesteela, Ferrothorn, and Zamazenta-C, while the latter hits Primordial Sea Steel-types. Depending on which coverage move you use, the aforementioned Pokemon are also good partners to Imposter-proof Eternatus. Lum Berry stops paralysis, particularly Nuzzle and Glare, from ending Eternatus's sweep. Poison Heal sweepers make for good partners as they can absorb paralysis and have solid longevity, while Triage Yveltal is potent at beating some of Eternatus's checks. Alternatively, pair Eternatus with an Imposter user to capitalize on opposing RegenVest.
