Defeat Chairman Rose and Eternatus in pokemon sword and shield. Learn about Rose's Steel-types and Eternatus's Poison/Dragon typing.
Walkthrough
- 1You will face Chairman Rose, the head of Macro Cosmos. His team consists of: Escavalier (Level 55, Bug/Steel), Ferrothorn (Level 55, Grass/Steel), Perrserker (Level 55, Steel), Klinklang (Level 56, Steel), and Copperajah (Level 57, Steel).
- 2Escavalier is weak to Fire-types, taking 4x damage. Be wary of its Drill Run attack.
- 3Ferrothorn is also weak to Fire and Fighting-types. Its Iron Barbs ability will damage you if you use contact moves.
- 4Perrserker is a pure Steel-type. It can use Screech to lower your Defence, Shadow Claw, and Throat Chop to prevent sound-based moves.
- 5Klinklang is another pure Steel-type. It can use Shift Gear to boost its Attack and Speed, but has no strong moves.
- 6Rose's final Pokémon is Copperajah, which he will immediately Gigantamax. Its G-Max Steelsurge will set up Spikes, damaging Pokémon that switch in. It can also use Ground and Psychic Max Moves. It is slow with middling defences.
- 7After defeating Rose, head back towards the corridor and take the elevator on the left to the Tower Summit.
- 8You will encounter Eternatus (Level 60, Poison/Dragon). This Pokémon uses Cross Poison, Dynamax Cannon, Flamethrower, and Dragon Pulse. You cannot capture Eternatus during this initial battle; focus on defeating it.
- 9Psychic-types are a safe bet against Eternatus. Ground and Ice-types are also effective. Dragon-types can work if they are fast enough to avoid KO's from Dynamax Cannon or Dragon Pulse. Inflicting paralysis or lowering its Special Attack can also help.
- 10After defeating Eternatus, it will return much stronger for a Max Raid Battle against its Eternamax form.
- 11You will fight alongside Hop in a 2-player raid against Eternamax Eternatus (??? Level, Poison/Dragon). Your moves will not work initially.
- 12After the third turn, you and Hop will use ancient weapons, and Zacian and Zamazenta will join your party.
- 13Zacian (Crowned Sword) will use Howl and Behemoth Blade. Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) will use Light Screen and Behemoth Bash.
- 14Eternatus (Eternamax) functions like a Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed Pokémon, using attacks like Max Wyrmwind, Max Flare, and Max Ooze. It can also cancel your party's stat boosts and abilities.
- 15You do not need to do much in this battle, as Zacian and Zamazenta are very powerful. You can assist with super-effective Psychic, Ice, or Ground moves, or inflict status conditions.
- 16After defeating Eternamax Eternatus, you will be able to catch it. It is guaranteed to be caught, regardless of the Poké Ball used.
Tips
- A strong Fire-type Pokémon is highly recommended to counter Chairman Rose's Steel-type team, especially Escavalier and Ferrothorn, which take 4x damage from Fire.
- For the Eternatus battle, prioritize Pokémon that are fast and have super-effective moves (Psychic, Ground, Ice).
- During the Eternamax Eternatus Max Raid Battle, let Zacian and Zamazenta handle the bulk of the damage while you provide support.
