Swords Dance Ceruledge is a massively threatening wallbreaker that fits well on hyper-offensive teams due to its ability to threaten common defensive pieces, like Galarian Slowking and Ferrothorn, while being able to take on offensive threats such as Volcarona and Iron Valiant thanks to its typing. Close Combat is a good coverage option, letting Ceruledge dent bulky Dark-types like Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar; alternatively, Shadow Sneak offers a form of priority that can pick off unsuspecting revenge killers like Iron Boulder. Focus Sash allows Ceruledge to usually guarantee an oppotunity to set up one Swords Dance, while Ghostium Z turns Poltergeist into a nuke that can eviscerate even the bulkiest of Pokemon, OHKOing even Alomomola and Toxapex at +2. Tera Ghost allows Poltergeist to be boosted to ludicrous power levels without having to invest in Ghostium Z, letting Ceruledge OHKO offensive Great Tusk and defensive Gliscor after a boost. Bulky Dark-types, like the aforementioned Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar, can force Ceruledge out - therefore, Fighting-types such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta as well as Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant are great partners for it. In return, all of them appreciate Ceruledge being able to threaten bulky Pokemon that might try to take their attacks, such as Galarian Slowking, Alomomola, Toxapex, and Heatran. Revenge killers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Samurott-H also limit Ceruledge's ability to impact the game beyond potentially grabbing one KO, so teammates that can deal with them, such as Mega Scizor and Dragonite, are highly appreciated. Water-types like the aforementioned Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W are also effective teammates for Ceruledge, as they can come in on Water-type attacks from opposing Urshifu-R and Samurott-H while being able to rely on Ceruledge to break through troublesome Grass-types like Kartana and Rillaboom.

Swords Dance Ceruledge is a massively threatening wallbreaker that fits well on hyper offensive teams due to its ability to threaten both common defensive pieces, like Galarian Slowking and Ferrothorn, as well as take on offensive threats like Booster Energy Iron Valiant (I'm not sure if this is the best example. BE val is immune to poltergeist and it could be dangerous if it's physical). Swords Dance amps up Ceruledge's power from respectable to downright terrifying after a boost (add some examples here and put its synergy with weak armor here e.g. OHKO stuffs like torn-t, urshifu, ogerpon). Poltergeist, its new Ghost STAB move that it received in the DLC, brings with it a significant boost in power, letting it more effectively threaten neutral targets like Heatran and Gouging Fire. Bitter Blade is its Fire STAB move, which not only does good damage but lets Ceruledge heal back HP that it may have lost through trying to set up a Swords Dance. (no need to explain STABs) Close Combat is a good coverage option, letting Ceruledge dent bulky Dark-types like Heatran, Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar, while Shadow Sneak offers a form of priority that can pick off unsuspecting revenge killers like Iron Boulder. Weak Armor is a great ability for Ceruledge as if it gets hit, it can often snowball into a won game thanks to doubling both its Speed and its Attack on the same turn. (put this line before with swords dance and reword them together) Focus Sash allows Ceruledge to force foes teams to hit it and trigger Weak Armor, while Ghostium Z turns Poltergeist into a nuke that can eviscerate even the bulkiest of Pokemon (examples here, +2 ghost z OHKOs alo could be one). Tera Ghost allows Poltergeist to be boosted to ludicrous power levels without having to invest in Ghostium Z (same here, you need examples like +2 tera polt OHKOs offensive tusk). Bulky Dark-types, like the aforementioned Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar, can force Ceruledge out - therefore, Fighting- and Fairy-types such as Mega Lopunny and Zamazenta and Fairy-types like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant are great partners for Ceruledge. Fairy-types like Tapu Lele also appreciate Ceruledge's ability to threaten Steel-types, a common bother for them. In return, both of them appreciate Ceruledge being able to threaten bulky Pokemon that might try to take their attacks, such as Galarian Slowking, Alomomola, and Toxapex, Heatran, and Ferrothorn respectively. Revenge killers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Greninja also limit Ceruledge's ability to impact the game beyond grabbing one potential KO, so teammates that can deal with them, such as defensive Mega Scizor,(AC) and Assault Vest Iron Crown on bulkier teams,(AC) and Dragonite on offensive teams, are highly appreciated. These Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W are also effective teammates for Ceruledge, as they can come in on Water-type attacks while being able to rely on Ceruledge to break through troublesome Grass-types like Kartana and Rillaboom.

Swords Dance Ceruledge is a massively threatening wallbreaker that fits well on hyper offensive teams due to its ability to threaten both common defensive pieces what exactly does this mean? like the pokemon you list after or something else? if its the former you should fix the sentence, like Galarian Slowking and Ferrothorn, while it's Fire/Ghost typing also lets it take on offensive Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Volcarona. as well as take on offensive threats like Calm Mind Iron Valiant. Swords Dance amps up Ceruledge's power from respectable to downright terrifying after a boost, letting it OHKO common threats like Tornadus-T and Urshifu-R. swords dance was already praised earlier in the mini It also pairs very well with Weak Armor, allowing Ceruledge to potentially end games on the spot if it gets both the Attack and Speed boost. Close Combat is a good coverage option, letting Ceruledge dent bulky Dark-types like Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar as well as miscellaneous targets such as Heatran,; alternatively, while Shadow Sneak offers a form of priority that can pick off unsuspecting revenge killers like Iron Boulder. Focus Sash allows Ceruledge to force foes to hit it seems a little weird to say lets Ceruledge usually set up one Swords Dance at the least and trigger Weak Armor, while Ghostium Z turns Poltergeist into a nuke that can eviscerate big word even the bulkiest of Pokemon, OHKOing even Alomomola and Toxapex after a Swords Dance. Tera Ghost allows Poltergeist to be boosted to ludicrous power levels without having to invest in Ghostium Z, letting Ceruledge OHKO offensive Great Tusk and defensive Gliscor. Bulky Dark-types, like the aforementioned Ting-Lu and Mega Tyranitar, can force Ceruledge out - therefore, Fighting-types such as Mega Lopunny mlop on HO?? Urshifu-R and Zamazenta as well as Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant are great partners for Ceruledge. In return, all of them appreciate Ceruledge being able to threaten bulky Pokemon that might try to take their attacks, such as Galarian Slowking, Alomomola, Toxapex, and Heatran, and Ferrothorn, respectively respectively here isnt needed and all mons have a way to beat ferro well!!. Revenge killers like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Greninja Samurott-H also limit Ceruledge's ability to impact the game beyond grabbing one potential KO, so teammates that can deal with them, such as defensive Mega Scizor and Assault Vest Iron Crown on bulkier teams and Dragonite on offensive teams, ceruledge is geuinely exclusive to HO, i wouldnt be adding mentions of utility/fat mons are highly appreciated. Water-types like the aforementioned Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W are also effective teammates for Ceruledge, as they can come in on Water-type attacks add mon mentions here and pressure checks to Ceruledge like Alomomola and Landorus-Therian, while being able to rely on Ceruledge to break through troublesome Grass-types like Kartana and Rillaboom. need a better example, both of these mons can beat ceru


implement and qc 2/2 but be sure to notify me when u do
