SwSh Ultra Necrozma or Eternamax Eternatus? (Poll up)

[Greninjaman]

If you had to fight one of these guys and you had no one to help you with the Eternamax Eternatus fight (no Hop, no Legendary Pokemon; just you and your Pokemon), which would you pick?

 

[toastghost]

Necrozma. Why would I want to fight the immensly powerful Hand of Death known as Eternamax Eternatus?

 

[KaijuTyranitar54]

Necrozma. I rather fight a Light Dragon thing vs a Giant Centipede of Doom and death.

 

[Greninjaman]

I honestly would rather fight Ultra Necrozma myself after thinking about this.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I like Ultra Necrozma better than the Machine-Claw-Of-Death, so Ultra Necrozma, easily.

Eternamax is a chump

I mean, if I really had to choose between which one I'd prefer a solo boss fight against, I don't know why I would say anything other than Necrozma. What I loved about the Eternatus fight was that it used the Max Raid format to really give it a sense of being a boss and to get involvement from other entities in the story (Hop and the wolves). You take that away, and you've just got a tediously overpowered slog. UN, while strong, isn't so overwhelmingly powerful that the battle drags on - in fact, you kind of have to try to be as efficient as you can about beating it, because it's so capable of one-shotting your team members (unless you cheese it, anyway).

And I think it's better the way it is for the sake of flavor, too. Necrozma's light is responsible for Totem Pokémon, and its own battle feels like an escalation of those. Meanwhile, Eternatus is responsible for Dynamax energy, and indeed, its boss battle is a Max Raid. It's all fitting just fine.

As far as design and implementations go, though, I think I pretty firmly prefer Eternatus. Even though it is a Dragon type, it is also a Poison type, which is a virtually unused type for Legendaries, whereas Necrozma bundles up the two most overused ones there are. And I guess "big, purple, vaguely insectoid alien dragon skeleton" is just more my kind of thing than "dragon-shaped field of light with awkward-looking claws and limb placements". Plus, Eternatus is just simpler. Necrozma's backstory and the whole conception of Ultra Space is a convoluted, multidimensional mess that I've spent far too long thinking about. Granted, I'm not thrilled that Eternatus just apes Deoxys and/or Kyurem's "it came on a meteor long ago" shtick, but at least it's just that and not actually copying a whole idea (fusing with the paired box mascots) and needing an extra pair of games to explain everything. For what it's worth though, I do quite like the broken form of Necrozma. But I'm also fascinated by hands and by bones, if anyone recalls my old avatar, and Eternamaxnatus appeals to that for me.

Machine-Claw-Of-Death

this is perfect

 

[Astro Pantherion]

Ultra Necrozma by far, in terms of design and the typing fits too. Eternamax Eternatus's form, while cool, doesn't do much justice to its Dragon type. Instead it should have been part Psychic seeing as Psychic is commonly associated with the "Outer space" theme. Psychic/Poison, or Poison/Psychic would have been nice and be a NEW type combo altogether, not to say, contrasts nicely with the primary legendaries' types of Fairy and Fighting.

That said, I would have really wanted to see a Max Raid battle against Ultra Necrozma. That would be so epic.

Seeing as how Ultra Necrozma's theme is one of the best pieces Pokemon has ever delivered, it's no contest.

 

[Greninjaman]

I just noticed: seems like some People voted for Eternamax Eternatus over Ultra Necrozma. Odd...

temperate take: i like the dusk mane/dawn wings theme better

is the question right?
did you mean design wise?
battle wise? easy? hard?
people could think differently then the question suggets?

type wise Eternatus is better, but U-Necrozma got better ability

I'm just simple curiose which one someone would want to fight and why. Can be for many reasons. Some might prefer the design of one over the other. How powerful one is compared to the other and so on.

I chose the harder foe, dragon/poison is harder type wise if Im not mistaken?
status wise, also Eternatus is stronger totals stats 690 , with Eternamax 1125, 4 weaknesses only
a bigger oponent then U-Necrozma total stats 754. Neuroforce rises SE moves power 25% and 6 weaknesses

Design wise and story wise U-Necrozma was beautiful but strategically and beeing a oponent then Eternatus...

Its like with Software games, Shinobi Execution where people like stronger oponents and harder games to battle on.
_

Ultra Sun and Moon had better usage generally of abilities and items by oponents then Sword and Shield... also generaly the games give us a mono legendary oponent...

Imagine how would You battle if it would control the wolfes and it would be a tripple battle and it would get its own unique ability to handle the situation? Then the battle would get really interesting.

 

[prog rocker]

In my case, Ultra Necrozma because I fear it less. Seriously, the Eternatus stats look like something out of a ROM hack.

 

[Tactician Karina]

I chose Eternatus over Necrozma purely based on design since I think Eternatus looks cooler, Necrozma to me was always just meh.

 

[IncineROAR]

Ultra Necrozma... because taking it on with Mimikyu is always a good time.

 

[SuperSobble]

Eternamax was very scary and hard to fight. UN is also one of my favorites.

 

[Sakuraa]

If I had no help, well then Ultra Necrozma easily since I know I can beat it on my own. I don't think I could have ever beat Eternamax Eternatus without assistance.
