[[File:Darkest Day Galar.png|thumb|300px|{{ga|Victor}} and [[Hop]] confronting Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}]]
'''Eternamax''' (Japanese: '''ムゲンダイマックス''' ''Mugendaimax'') is an unobtainable kind of [[form]] change introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

==In the core series games==
Unlike [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]], the transformation is unobtainable to the player, but appears when {{m|Eternabeam}} is used. The only known Pokémon to have this transformation is {{p|Eternatus}}. This transformation occurs when a Pokémon absorbs massive amounts of energy at once.

===History===
This transformation first occurs after the {{player}} defeats Eternatus for the first time, when Eternatus changes into the Eternamax form after absorbing all the energy in [[Galar]]. Eternamax Eternatus proceeds to absorb more energy while preventing the player's and [[Hop]]'s Pokémon from attacking. The player and Hop then call upon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, negating this power. A special [[Max Raid Battle]] ensues where the player captures Eternatus, ending its Eternamax transformation.

===Effect===
While Eternamax cannot be obtained by the player, while facing off against it, Eternamax Eternatus functions similar to a [[Dynamax]] Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]]. It can negate the effect of the player's Pokémon's {{Abilities}} and stat changes, cure itself of non-volatile [[status condition]]s, and use [[Max Move]]s in battle. After defeating it, the player will always catch it.

However, it cannot create a protective barrier like Rank 3 and above Max Raid Battle opponents can. Additionally, it does not take increased damage from {{m|Behemoth Blade}}, {{m|Behemoth Bash}}, or {{m|Dynamax Cannon}}.

{{mas|Leon}}, while wearing his [[sygna suit]], is the only Trainer to use Eternamax in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where it is treated as a variation of [[Dynamax]]. {{m|Dynamax Cannon}} is replaced by {{m|Eternabeam}} when Eternatus Eternamaxes, treating the latter move as Eternatus's [[Max Move|max move]], even though it isn't one in the [[core series]] games.

===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Eternamax {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} appeared in ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'' when the {{pkmn|category|Gigantic Pokémon}} entered this form after {{an|Leon}}'s failed attempt at catching it. {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] proceeded to battle it with their Pokémon, along with {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. With the help of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]], Eternatus was defeated, allowing Goh to catch it.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Eternatus's Eternamax form appeared in a flashback in ''[[PE01|The Champion]]'', where {{ga|Victor}} and [[Hop]] battled against it during the [[Darkest Day]]. After it was defeated, it was caught {{pkmn2|caught}} by Victor.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
Eternatus entered its Eternamax form in ''[[PASS29|GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears]]'' while battling against the [[Galar]] [[Gym Leader]]s. After they had been defeated, {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} appeared and took their place. When the two of them attacked Eternatus together, all three Pokémon vanished in a bright flash of light.

Eternamax Eternatus reappeared in [[PASS42]]. Once Zacian and Zamazenta had succeeded in defeating it, Eternatus reverted to its regular form, which, at {{Casey}}'s request, was allowed to remain free so that humans could hopefully learn to coexist with it.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
{{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} entered its Eternamax form in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]'' after {{an|Leon}} failed to catch the Gigantic Pokémon. {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] proceeded to battle it with their Pokémon, along with {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. With the help of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]], Eternatus was defeated, allowing Goh to catch it and end the [[Darkest Day]].

==Trivia==
* Unlike [[Gigantamax]] forms, Eternamax Eternatus has its exact size listed in the [[Pokédex]] without being followed by a plus, though its weight is listed as ????.? lbs, just like all Gigantamax forms.
* A {{Shiny}} Eternamax Eternatus cannot be registered legitimately in the Pokédex in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as the only way to see one is in the animation for a Shiny Eternatus using {{m|Eternabeam}}, which is not considered a true form change. However, it can be registered in [[Pokémon HOME]] by registering a Shiny Eternatus, as both forms will be automatically registered upon depositing an Eternatus into HOME.
