I noticed that for some asinine reason Dracovish, a Pokémon without any feats or scaling to speak of has a profile while Galar's boxart legendaries lack a profile. I'm going to show why the trio deserve profiles and have actual scaling.
Base:
As shown in The Scuffle of Legends, Lance's Shiny Gyarados's Hyper Beam was able to statemate Kyogre's Hyper Beam, meaning the Red Gyarados(at least in the anime) scales to High 6-A.
This also is not an outlier as Gyarados lacks any anti-feats in the anime to suggest this. It's just unusually strong compared to the rest of it's species, which isn't that uncommon with champion's Pokemon like Red's Mega Charizard X or Ash's Pikachu.
The scaling to Gyarados is important because in Flash of the Titans, Lance's Dynamaxed Red Gyarados takes on Leon's Gigantamax Charizard and ends up being defeated. This does confirm High 6-A Leon, possibly higher as Gyarados logically has gotten stronger since The Scuffle of Legends and was amped by Dynamax and boosted it's Attack and Speed with Dragon Dance.
In Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken, Leon's Charizard manages to hold it's own against Eternatus, but not weakening it enough to secure a capture. This means base Eternatus scales to High 6-A, along with relativistic+ speeds.
There's also potential 5-B scaling but I don't know the general opinion on Alain's Mega Charizard X fighting Primal Groudon. Let me know if it's seen as an outlier. If it isn't, i'll go more in-depth on the scaling. If it is, I suggest adding a note to Alain's and Steven's profiles, similar to the note on Zinnia's profile.
This could also scale to base Zacian and Zamazenta, but if that's not accepted they would default to Zapdos tier.
Crowned/Eternamax:
Crowned Zacian is stated in it's Pokémon Sword Pokédex entry that it only needs a single strike to take out Gigantamax Pokémon.
Likewise, Crowned Zamazenta's Pokédex entry states that it can shrug off attacks from Dynamax Pokémon
There are 32 species of Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing that Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta can scale to. One of which is Melmetal
Meaning Crowned Zacian scales to Melmetal for being able to take it out in one hit, and Eternamax Eternatus would also scale, being able to survive attacks from Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta.
TL;DR
Base tiering: High 6-A
Base speed: Relativistic+
Crowned/Eternamax tiering: At least 3-C, likely High 3-A
Crowned/Eternamax speed: At least Massively FTL+, likely Infinite
There is also a statement from Leon that could imply Eternatus scales above the Creation Trio, but I left that out for obvious reasons.
So yeah. Galar legendaries have feats. They deserve a profile.

Meltan
Melmetal is the evolutionary form of Meltan. Though it is yet to be officially announced, we do know that it is one of few Pokémon capable of Gigantamaxing. Tier: 8-C | At least 3-C, likely High 3-A | At least 3-C, likely High 3-A Key: Meltan | Melmetal | Gigantamax Melmetal Name: Melmetal...
