Eternatus VmaxDarkness Ablaze #117 Pokémon Card

Eternatus is a colossal, serpentine Dragon/Poison-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, native to the Galar region. Its immense power is tied to the Dynamax phenomenon, which it inadvertently created. According to Galar's legends, Eternatus fell to Earth in a meteorite 20,000 years ago, and its presence is the source of the region's energy. It can absorb energy from the environment, causing Pokémon to Dynamax or Gigantamax uncontrollably. In its true form, Eternamax, Eternatus is an apocalyptic entity capable of distorting space-time and unleashing devastating cosmic energy. Its behavior is primarily driven by an instinct to absorb energy, making it a force of nature rather than inherently malicious. Eternatus plays a pivotal role in the storyline of Pokémon Sword and Shield, where it is the primary antagonist responsible for the "Darkest Day," a cataclysmic event that nearly plunged Galar into chaos. It is the only known Pokémon capable of reaching the Eternamax state, a form that dwarfs even Gigantamax Pokémon.
