Eternatus's gigantic size makes it the largest known Pokémon to ever exist.
Eternatus serves as the source of the Dynamax and Gigantamax phenomena in Galar due to its power leaking out in the form of Galar Particles following its defeat thousands of years ago by Zacian and Zamazenta. Pieces of its body imbued with its power rain down throughout Galar in the form of Wishing Pieces, Wishing Chips and Wishing Stars. When it is awake, Eternatus causes a phenomenon dubbed the Darkest Day, in which the massive quantities of Dynamax energy it unleashes causes Pokémon to Dynamax and rampage uncontrollably. Despite this, it cannot be Dynamaxed itself as its Eternamax form replaces that effect.
In its Eternamax form, Eternatus's power grows so immense that it causes a great storm of Dynamax energy around it, ripping holes in spacetime in the midst of the storm as it releases a virtually infinite amount of energy. Its tremendous power can even prevent opposing Pokémon from attacking it as it gathers energy.
Eternatus is an extraterrestrial Pokémon that came to Earth inside a meteor around 20,000 years ago.
Eternatus is the only known Pokémon capable of using Dynamax Cannon and Eternabeam.

Fanon appearances[]
Pokémon X Super Smash Bros.[]
Eternatus appears as a boss in Pokémon X Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch and Arcade. It appears as a random boss in Classic Mode on difficulty 8.0 or higher and as the final boss in Adventure Mode dubbed Pokémon Spirit Tour.
A stronger version of this boss known as Eternatus EX uses the shiny color scheme of Eternatus and will appear as a random boss in Classic Mode on the highest AI difficulty of 9.0. It also appears as the final boss in the second quest of Pokémon Spirit Tour with a Eternatus (shiny) spirit after being defeated.
In Super Smash Stadium, Eternatus is a possible Poké-Ball Pokémon that can also appear out of Master Balls. It uses Dynamax Cannon to double all opponents' damage percentages, but inflicts no knockback using this.
All canon Pokémon are available in Tropes vs. Women in Pokémon Training, including Eternatus. Its Eternamax form IS obtainable in this game, achieved in the same way as Gigantamaxing, but its stat spread is different here:
