Eternatus is a Legendary Poison/Dragon-type Pokemon that was first introduced inPokemon Sword and Shield. In combat, it also turns into Eternamax, a unique transformation similar to Dynamax and Gigantamax. In the climax ofSword and Shield, players can defeat and catch the gigantic Eternatus with the help of Zacian and Zamazenta. However, its Eternamax form is unobtainable. Regardless,Eternatus is a fan-favorite Pokemonthat stands out for its imposing design. The Legendary is currently unavailable inPokemon GO, but since the debut of Max Battles in 2024, fans have been hoping that Eternatus' release would eventually happen.
If Eternatus makes the jump toPokemon GO, it would be interesting to see how the game approaches its Eternamax form and whether it could be obtainable or not. However, fans will have to wait for more official details about Pokemon GO Fest: Max Finale in the coming weeks. In the meantime, fans can look forward toPokemon GO’s 9th Anniversary Partystarting on July 1.
