Eternatus

PoisonDragon

Best attacking moveset: Poison Jab and Dynamax Cannon, worth 22.9 damage per second against a neutral target.

Best moveset

Eternatus can learn 8 combinations. Poison Jab with Dynamax Cannon does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.

That set is legacy. Dynamax Cannon is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Eternatus you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, worth 15.8 damage per second.

Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.

Best moveset against each type

Eternatus does not have one best moveset, it has 3. Which one wins depends on what you are attacking, because a move only gets its bonus against something weak to it. Best against Dragon, Grass, Fairy.
