How To Catch Eternatus In Pokemon Sword And Shield?
Players will cross paths with Eternamax Eterantus after defeating Chairman Rose in the champions cup. Before going up against the arch-nemesis Leon, you will be visiting “Hammerlocke Energy Plant” where you will meet Eternatus. Eternamax Eternatus is a level 60 poison dragon-type pokemon, which is why players should have ice, physical, and ground-type pokemon.
The trick is to let Eternatus go all out with his attacks and wait for the second half when you are joined by Zamazenta and Zacian. In the second half, Eternatus will turn into Eternamax Eternatus and that is when you with your companions go all out at him.
Once Eternatus is defeated you can catch him using any Pokeball as its catch rate is 100%. Unfortunately, you will get only Eternatus and not the Eternamax Eternatus but the pokemon is still very useful in Max raids. After this, you go ahead to beat Leon and gain the champion’s status.
