The True Cost to Max Out Eternatus in Pokémon Go
Eternamax Eternatus has arrived in Pokémon Go, and while it's technically free, the true Eternamax Eternatus cost in Pokémon Go is staggering. In this episode, we break down the insane resource requirements and real-world money you'll need to spend to fully max out this new Pokémon. Is this the most expensive "free" Pokémon ever released? We dive into the numbers to find out. We provide a complete breakdown of the full Eternatus power up requirements, from getting it to level 50 to maxing out its powerful moves: Dynamax Cannon, Max Guard, and Max Spirit. The total cost comes to a mind-boggling 16,900 Candy, 9,860 Candy XL, 5,000 Particles, and 496,400 Stardust. We analyze if Eternatus candy farming during the event will even be enough, with initial reports showing trainers earning 100-120 Candy and 48-54 Candy XL per battle. A huge factor in reducing this grind is the GO Pass Deluxe Max Finale rewards. We explore how the $15 pass provides a massive bonus of 7,130 Candy and 890 Candy XL, but even with this boost, you will still need to complete around 180 battles to gather the necessary resources. The bulk of our analysis focuses on the real-world in-person vs remote raid cost. We calculate three potential scenarios for dedicated players: 1. 100% In-Person Battles: The cheapest route, this will still cost you approximately $173.92 in Particle Packs, assuming you can complete all 180 raids at Power Spots. 2. 100% Remote Raids: For those raiding from home, the price skyrockets to an estimated $377.90 when factoring in both Particle Packs and Remote Raid Passes. 3. Remote Raids with Double Rewards: By using the 200-coin upgrade to double rewards each time, you can cut your battles in half to 90, but the total cost is still a hefty $299.97. We discuss whether these prices are justified, especially for a Pokémon that you can't get a shiny version of or reroll its IVs. Is this a sign of things to come for future releases like Arceus? We weigh the pros and cons and question if the investment is truly worth it for the average player.
