Esca27 days agoDo not bait yourself into thinking this is a top tier mon because it *used* to be, despite what the community rankings regretfully seem to suggest. I promise there are much better and more reliable ways to beat Etern than bringing a mon that does 6% damage per turn to it. Sand Tomb+Salt Cure does a respectable amount, but still less than just bringing a Curse mon, and for a lower price you can bring something like CM Probopass or Eerie Impulse Electrode that also cheeses Etern.

Esca27 days agoFell off a lot after Salt Cure nerf. Slightly better with unlocks as Sand Tomb literally does more damage than it now. Cool bulky Stealth Rock setter but really mid at stalling now, chip is chip ig but it's sooooo slow at it and setting Sandstorm does the same damage. There's MUCH better Etern cheese ways on mons that do more on the other 199 waves. Besides, if all you're after is still trying to make Salt Cure work, it's easy enough to get wild that paying 2-4 for it on starter select is not remotely worth it anymore.

Great mon for classic mode eternatus stall. Literally just use a tanky immune mon and use salt cure with garganacl
