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.
