Also a lot of this article is based on DEVolkan’s reddit post.

Eternatus Power Up Requirements

In order to fully power up Eternatus, you need a staggering amount of Candy and XL Candy. Reddit user DEVolkan summed up all the requirements:

• To fully max Eternatus you will need 8,900 Eternatus Candy + 8,900 Eternatus XL Candy.
• The free version of GO Pass gives 900 Candy.
• The premium version of GO pass gives: 6,230 Candy + 890 XL Candy.
• With Candy from the free version, you can power up Eternatus to Level 21.
• With Candy from the free and premium version you can power up to Level 38.5, but you will still need 1,770 more Candy to reach Level 40.
• With 890 XL Candy: up to 43, but you’ll still need 8,010 more XL candy to reach 50.
• It is estimated ~160 Eternamax battles needed to max it to Level 50. 

Eternamax Battles

We have a separate guide on countering Eternamax Eternatus, but here is the short version of the rewards and requirements to defeat it (again, credits to DEVolkan):

• It cost 800 Max particles to fight Eternatus Eternamax
• Beating Eternatus Eternamax in 1-2 max phases requires around 100 people.
• You cannot catch Eternamax Eternatus after defeating it, it reverts to Eternatus.

You get the following Battle rewards (which you can double with 200 PokéCoins):
