AAA Better Blacephalon?!?! (SoR Ceruledge) (QC 2/2) (GP 1/1)

[Yoko]

[SET]
Sword of Ruin (Ceruledge) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sword of Ruin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bitter Blade
- Shadow Sneak
- Close Combat

[SET COMMENTS]
Ceruledge is a strong wallbreaker with its typing, good coverage, and high Attack. Sword of Ruin-boosted Bitter Blade is a strong STAB move that OHKOes most Pokemon in the tier after a Swords Dance and can break sturdy checks like defensive Garchomp; additionally, the HP recovery is useful for counteracting chip from Life Orb and entry hazards. Shadow Sneak makes up for Ceruledge's below-average Speed by allowing it to pick off weakened threats such as Cinderace and Iron Moth. Close Combat deals with Fire-resistant foes like Roaring Moon and Garganacl. Due to Ceruledge's frail defensive stats and entry hazard susceptibility, it appreciates entry hazard removal and pivoting from teammates like Corviknight and Iron Treads. Greninja and Kilowattrel help Ceruledge handle fast offensive threats like Meowscarada and Zapdos, while Ceruledge can break past common RegenVest foes such as Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta that they could otherwise struggle with.

bro doesnt have a 150 stab tho

Ceruledge is a very powerful strong wallbreaker with its offensive typing, good coverage, and Sword of Ruin would mention Ceruledge's high attack. Bitter Blade is a very strong STAB Fire-type move in combination with Swords dance, Bitter Blade can Kill most pokemon in the tier. Shadow Sneak makes up for Ceruledge's below average speed allowing it to kill faster pokemon, grants Ceruledge useful priority and allows it to revenge kill weakened threats. Close Combat allows Ceruledge to deal damage against pokemon who tank it's Fire-type STAB moves, such as hits Roaring Moon, and Garganacl, and Ursaluna. while Shadow Claw allows it to deal good damage to pokemon who resist both its Fire- and Fighting-type moves like Garchomp, and allows Ceruledge to kill most Skeledriges. Due to Ceruledges frail defense's and Stealth Rock weakness, it appreciates entry hazard removal and pivoting from teammates pivots with hazard removal like Corviknight and Iron Threads. Greninja and Kilowattrel are good fast special attackers which pair well with Ceruledge by helping it with its Speed issue and help each other with their checks., such as Garchomp, Garganacl, and Blissey, and Corviknight, and Meloetta respectively.

first time doing this so advice / criticism is appreciated!
