Trivia

• When Eternatus uses Eternabeam, it briefly assumes its Eternamax form during the move's animation. This is the only time Eternamax Eternatus is seen outside of the battle against it.
• Eternabeam has the highest base power of all Dragon-type moves, excluding Z-Moves.
• Eternabeam is the only move that is a regular move in the core series games but is a max move in Pokémon Masters EX.
