Pokémon TCG: Eternatus VMAX Premium Collection, Multicolor

Product Information

The user creates a substitute for itself using some of its HP. The substitute serves as the user's decoy. The user gathers all its light energy and releases it all at once. This may also lower the target's Sp. Def stat.

Eternatus has been featured on 3 different cards since it debuted in the Darkness Ablaze expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Eternatus cards are normally Darkness-type or Dragon-type Basic Pokémon. Eternatus VMAX has the Ability “Eternal Zone”. This Ability starts working as soon as Eternatus VMAX hits the field so long as you meet its condition: you must not have any non-Darkness Pokémon in play. Assuming that is the case, you are now allowed to have up to 8 Pokémon on your Bench, but they must all still be Darkness types. In fact, once Eternal Zone is in effect, you cannot put any non-Darkness Pokémon into play; not from your hand, and not even through effects that play them from elsewhere! If Eternal Zone stops working, you have to discard Pokémon from your Bench until you have no more than five Pokémon on your Bench. The user hits the target with its tail. This may also poison the target. Critical hits land more easily. The user goes to sleep for two turns. This fully restores the user's HP and heals any status conditions.

Eternatus sprites

Infinite amounts of energy pour from this Pokémon's enlarged core, warping the surrounding space-time.

I believe Eternatus VMAX will become another one of the archetypes that the format would watch out for, as well as Charizard VMAX. Maybe if there was a Darkness type Pokemon that can boost damage output, then Eternatus can finally reach OHKO levels.The core on its chest absorbs energy emanating from the lands of the Galar region. This energy is what allows Eternatus to stay active.
