[SET COMMENTS]
Ceruledge has the perfect combination of traits to become a terrifying wallbreaker, boasting two of the best offensive STAB typings, high-Base Power attacks, and a naturally good matchup against the tier's most common physical wall, Corviknight. Bitter Blade's healing is greatly appreciated to offset Stealth Rock chip damage, and Close Combat flips the table on potential answers such as Roaring Moon and Well-Baked Body Kingambit. Shadow Sneak makes Ceruledge a potent revenge killer and cleaner, picking off weakened setup sweepers like Volcarona and Ogerpon-C, and threatening to OHKO Iron Boulder, Gengar, and non-Psychic Surge Deoxys-S. An Adamant nature helps Ceruledge secure certain KOs, most notably OHKOing Swampert with Poltergeist, but Jolly allows it to outspeed Gholdengo and neutral-natured Great Tusk. Ceruledge requires slow pivots like Primarina, Corviknight, and Mandibuzz to get it onto the field, with the former covering Walking Wake and the latter two providing valuable Defog support while also checking dangerous revenge killers like Roaring Moon and Dragonite. Ceruledge also pairs well with offensive pivots like Walking Wake and Zapdos, both of which require help to break past RegenVest users such as Manaphy and Swampert; in return, they give it more opportunities to come in to wallbreak. However, Ceruledge cannot be paired with Knock Off as this nullifies Poltergeist, limiting its synergy with the aforementioned RegenVests users and common Choice Scarf users like Roaring Moon and Meowscarada. Ceruledge is quite slow relative to other offensive wallbreakers, so it needs speed control in the form of Chien-Pao and Barraskewda, the latter of which also baits in and pivots on Corviknight and Skarmory.

bruh you literally cant switch in on this thing

Ceruledge has the perfect combination of traits to become a terrifying wallbreaker, boasting two of the best offensive STAB types alongside high Base Power attacks. Bitter Blade's healing is greatly appreciated to offset Stealth Rock chip, and Close Combat flips the table on potential answers such as Roaring Moon and Well-Baked Body Kingambit, while also being the strongest option for Well-Baked Body Mandibuzz. ceru doesnt guarantee an 2hko versus mandibuzz and it doesn't exactly want to take a foul play, it feels as if theres minimal reason to keep this Shadow Sneak makes Ceruledge a potent revenge killer and cleaner, picking off weakened setup sweepers like Volcarona and Ogerpon-C, and even threatening to OHKO Iron Boulder and Gengar Deoxys-S. i would either say gengar or specify SFLO Deoxys-S, since PsySurge obviously ignores priority Ceruledge is dependant on Corviknight or Mandibuzz for defog support and pivoting, especially since they also cover dangerous revenge killers such as Roaring Moon and Dragonite. Ceruledge pairs well with offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Zapdos-Galar, both of which requires help to breaking past defensive walls in Corviknight and Pecharunt Deoxys-D. barraskewda liquidation 2hkos Deoxys-D and Gapdos 2hkos always if band and typically 2hkos with mglo, pecharunt however gets 3hkoed by barra and can parting shot instantly via prankster and can do the same against gapdos Ceruledge is quite slow relative to other offensive breakers, so it needs speed control in the form of Choice Scarf Azelf or Walking Wake.

Ceruledge has the perfect combination of traits to become a terrifying wallbreaker, boasting two of the best offensive STAB types alongside high Base Power attacks. mentioning its naturally good mu into corv i think is worthwhile too seeing as how its spammed a ton Bitter Blade's healing is greatly appreciated to offset Stealth Rock chip, and Close Combat flips the table on potential answers such as Roaring Moon and Well-Baked Body Kingambit. Shadow Sneak makes Ceruledge a potent revenge killer and cleaner, picking off weakened setup sweepers like Volcarona and Ogerpon-C, and threatens an OHKO Iron Boulder, Gengar and non-Psychic Surge Deoxys-S. Ceruledge is dependant on Corviknight or Mandibuzz for defog support and pivoting, especially since they also cover dangerous revenge killers such as Roaring Moon and Dragonite. i think adding mentions of just slow pivots in general is good. the two you mentioned are fine ftr, so you can add another like prim and mention its good mu into other revenge killers like walking wake and then mention corv and mandi providing defog support + helping against the revenge killers you mentioned already in moon/dnite. Ceruledge pairs well with offensive pivots like Barraskewda and Zapdos, both of which requires help to break past defensive walls in Corviknight and Swampert respectively; add semicolon in return, they give it more opportunities to come in and wallbreak. in exchange for providing oppurtunities to come in. Ceruledge is quite slow relative to other offensive breakers, so it needs speed control in the form of Choice Scarf Azelf or Walking Wake. mention how wake in particular can bring in ceru against its checks (e.g. prim/empo etc)
