Eternatus

**Eternatus** appeared in 2019 videogame called *Pokémon Sword & Shield*. Eternatus is a Gigantic Pokémon.

The core on its chest absorbs energy emanating from the lands of the Galar region. This energy is what allows Eternatus to stay active. It was inside a meteorite that fell 20,000 years ago. There seems to be a connection between this Pokémon and the Dynamax phenomenon.

Eternatus arrived on Galar in a meteorite 20,000 years ago. It is the source of all the Dynamax energy in Galar. 3,000 years ago prior to the events of **Sword and Shield**, Eternatus caused a calamity known as the Darkest Day, but was stopped by two Galarian nobles and the Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta.

Chairman Rose, believing that Galar would suffer an energy crisis 1,000 years into the future during the events of the game, collected Wishing Stars to awaken Eternatus and use its energy to power Galar indefinitely, believing it could be controlled. Eternatus proved to be uncontrollable and was only subdued with the help of Leon, Hop, the player, Zacian and Zamazenta.

Outwardly, Eternatus is difficult to compare at least with something. Although this is the largest Pokemon, its entire body seems to consist of blue crystals, resembling, so to speak, the skeleton of a dragon with small gaps in the "bones" in which pink energy is visible. The head is shaped like a reptilian skull, with white eyes that look more like ovals. The mouth is at the bottom. The teeth are shaped like diamond-shaped crystals. The whole head is protected from above by a red translucent shield, which has 3 corners at the nose and 5 on the other side. Branches extend from the shield, attached to the "shield" with pyramid-shaped crystals, 2 on each branch, and then branch out as smooth, tapering towards the ends, processes with small gaps and pink energy, and the second part of the processes is connected to the corners at the end of the shield. There is also a small crystal near the nose in the middle of the shield. The rest of the body has a serpentine shape, like Chinese dragons, with "spikes" from below and above along the entire perimeter of the body. There are only 4 paws - 2 front and 2 back, however, Eternatus, in principle, does not need them, well, except for the front paws. On each (front) paw there are 3 fingers or claws, it's hard to say. A long crystal extends from the shoulders, which passes into crystals, resembling crystals on a shield. Both ends terminate in crystals resembling offshoots from the same shield. The longest crystal has 3 sharp crystals. All this forms the wings of Eternatus. The so-called "ribs" are built in the form of some kind of gun or laser of unknown origin. These "ribs" are lighter on the inside than on the outside. In the "ribs" themselves there is the "Eternatus Core". The hind legs resemble the bones of the hind legs (self-evident). The beginning resembles a hip bone, and the paws themselves, let's say, look very strange. The knee joint has 2 gaps with energy in them. Claws or fingers are simply impossible to describe. The tail looks like a body, but ends in 2 crystals.

No less strange and incomprehensible is its Gigantamax form, for which, in appearance, it can be classified as an Ultra Beast. It looks like a huge paw with a long "beginning", mostly made up of energy, and the crystals are minor, which is the complete opposite of its usual form. The energy itself looks like an incomprehensible pink substance with white grains and stripes on it. The head looks like a hand with incomprehensible crystals on the "fingers" and the center of the palm. The crystals in the center are most likely the mouth of this monster. Each finger is covered with crystals, similar to those that lined the wings. On top of each finger there is a sharp spike. To the ends of the fingers, the spikes are shortened. The body itself is twisted into a spiral and along the entire perimeter, except for the tail, is "dressed" in rings. The tail itself, in its appearance, resembles the same wings of Eternatus. In the center of the spiral is the Nucleus. Along the Core on the body there are sharp long crystals resembling a "fence".

## Powers and Abilities

Being the source of all Dynamax energy, Eternatus is able to achieve a form known as "Eternamax", which could be considered similar to Gigantamax due to the drastic changes undergone. It is also capable of preventing opponents from performing any attacks and abilities in this state while charging up energy.

Regardless of form, Eternatus is also able to prevent other Pokémon from utilizing Dynamax or Gigantamax states. The massive power it stores in itself is capable of causing Pokémon to inexplicably Dynamax at random.
