Capturing Eternatus in Pokerogue is a goal that many players pursue, but it’s not an easy task. As the game’s final boss, Eternatus not only has powerful attacks, but also complex battle mechanics that make the challenge even more daunting. In order to successfully capture this legendary Pokémon, specific conditions need to be met. At the same time, it also requires players to carefully plan their battles, utilizing the right Pokémon and tactics. In particular, it is only when Eternatus is down to the last segment of its life value that you will have a chance to capture it using the Pokeball. So what conditions do you need to fulfill to catch Eternatus? What techniques are needed? This article will reveal.

Specific Conditions That Need to Be Met to Catch Eternatus

Many players encounter the ultimate boss Eternatus and want to capture it with the Pokeball. However, they are usually prompted with the message “An invisible force prevents you from using the Pokeball”. This is because Eternatus has a specific mechanic in battle that limits the possibility of capturing it.

• Unlock all other Pokémon’s artifacts.
• It cannot be captured until it reaches the last segment of its life value.

Tips for Capturing Eternatus

During the battle with Eternatus, Eternatus will go through two phases: the Initial Phase and the Eternamax Phase. In the Initial Phase, players need to weaken its life value through effective battle strategies. When Eternatus transforms into Eternamax, it will not only regain its life value, but also gain more powerful attack and defense, making it significantly more difficult to capture. Therefore, you need to use the right Pokémon with an effective battle strategy to have a chance to capture it.

Battle Strategy to Catch Eternatus

1. Utilize type advantage.
Eternatus is Poison/Dragon, so using Goblin and Steel Pokémon can effectively resist its attacks and deal damage.

2. Control Eternatus’ recovery.
When Eternatus enters its “Eternamax” form, it will recover a large amount of life. Therefore, try to reduce its HP beforehand and use sustained damage skills such as “Healing Wish” to limit its recovery ability by 25.

3. Prepare power-ups.
Make sure you have enough recovery items and status restorers to deal with the uncertainty of battle.
