[SET COMMENTS]

* Shuca Berry Eternatus fully maximises its poison-spreading potential, being able to Toxic and set Toxic Spikes on Primal Groudon and Arceus Ground with relative safety, after luring them in. Shuca Berry also comes with the added benefit of letting Eternatus check Choice Band Marshadow much more effectively, as once it is used Poltergeist will be unable to hit it. This set still performs defensive Eternatus’ standard roles effectively as a check to foes such as Calm Mind Arceus sets lacking Refresh, and Yveltal, but can struggle in the long run against Arceus Fairy and Life Orb Yveltal due to being prone to being worn down. Furthermore, as it is unable to use both Dynamax Cannon and Flamethrower, it can be used as setup fodder for Zacian-C, Necrozma-DM, or opposing Eterrnatus depending on its choice.
* With Shuca Berry, Eternatus can safely stay in on Ground-types like Primal Groudon and Toxic it, and also is key to pressuring Ho-Oh and defensive Arceus sets, letting Eternatus constantly set Toxic Spikes on them. Toxic also allows Eternatus to wear down Calm Mind Primal Kyogre and Zygarde, forcing them to use Rest. Toxic Spikes let Eternatus put pressure on defensive Arceus, Primal Groudon, and Primal Kyogre, wearing them down and enabling its teammates to break through them more easily.
* Dynamax Cannon lets Eternatus directly hit Ground-types like Primal Groudon and Arceus-Ground and Ho-oh, and most importantly dissuading opposing Eternatus from switching in and absorbing its Toxic Spikes. Flamethrower can be used if Necrozma-DM and Zacian-C are an issue to the team but makes the set less effective overall.
* The given EV spread allows Eternatus to avoid the 2HKO from Zygarde’s Thousand Arrows with Shuca Berry, avoid the 2HKO from Life Orb Yveltal’s Dark Pulse, and outspeed specially offensive Yveltal.
* Tera Fairy lets Eternatus take Dragon-type attacks from opposing Eternatus and Palkia-O, while also being an all-around great defensive type that turns its former Ground- and Psychic-type weaknesses into neutralities.
* Shuca Berry Eternatus works best in the early to mid-game, as if it can lure Primal Groudon or Arceus Ground with a Toxic, it can start putting a lot of pressure on the opposing team. Losing its item early is also the best case when fighting a Marshadow, so it can pivot into it without worry. Hard switching Shuca Berry Eternatus is often discouraged, as Eternatus can lose its Shuca Berry and die after without getting the Toxic or Dynamax Cannon off. Toxic Spikes can easily be set up as Eternatus can pressure all Defoggers by way of Toxic and Dynamax Cannon.
* Shuca Berry Eternatus works best with teammates that greatly appreciate Ground-types being poisoned or KOed, such as Calm Mind Arceus-Water, Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, and Offensive Primal Groudon. Shuca Berry Eternatus is easily worn down by entry hazards, so teammates that can remove them like Ho-oh, Yveltal, and Giratina-O are great partners. Shuca Berry Eternatus must be paired with good Zacian-C and Necrozma-DM checks if running Dynamax Cannon, so defensive Primal Groudon and Zygarde-C are good teammates. If running Flamethrower, then teams must have a way to pressure or take advantage of opposing Eternatus such as Choice Band Marshadow or Offensive Yveltal .

Good analysis, but there's a ton of odd grammar, I'd suggest way more changes but those are up to the GP Team, I'd also suggest to check the Spelling and Grammar Standards once again.

Apply the following once you're ready and it's good to go as QC 1/2

* With Shuca Berry, Eternatus can safely stay in on Ground-types like Primal Groudon and Toxic it, and also is key to pressuring Ho-oh Ho-Oh This is done multiple times, please fix as needed and defensive Arceus sets, letting Eternatus constantly set Toxic Spikes on them. Toxic also allows Eternatus to wear down Calm Mind Primal Kyogree Kyogre and Zygarde, forcing them to rest use Rest. Toxic Spikes let Eternatus put pressure on defensive Arceus and both Primals, Primal Groudon, and Primal Kyogre too informal, wearing them down and enabling its teammates to break through them more easily. The following should be a separate bullet point Dynamax Cannon lets Eternatus directly hit Ground-types such as? and Ho-oh, and most importantly dissuading opposing Eternatus from switching in and absorbing its Toxic Spikes. Flamethrower can be used if Necrozma-DM and Zacian-C are an issue to the team but makes the set less effective overall.

Toxic Spikes can easily be set up as Eternatus can pressure all defoggers Defoggers by way of Toxic and Dynamax Cannon.
* Shuca Berry Eternatus works best with teammates that greatly appreciate Ground-types being poisoned or dead KOed, such as Calm Mind Arceus-Water, Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, and defensive Primal Kyogre Would recommend another example as Primal Kyogre benefits about as much as any other mon as it can break past basically any non-Tera'd Ground-type, especially as it can play around PDon depending on if its ability is active. The following should be a separate bullet point Shuca Berry Eternatus is easily worn down by entry hazards, so teammates that can remove them like Ho-oh, Yveltal, and Giratina-O are great partners.
