With Bulk Up, Ceruledge becomes a formidable setup Pokemon thanks to its great offensive typing and solid bulk. Additionally, Ceruludge's immunity to Will-O-Wisp thanks to Flash Fire is a major advantage, making it more consistent against Pokemon like Rotom-W and bulky Volcarona. Bitter Blade offers Ceruledge much-appreciated recovery, letting it maintain longevity and more easily set up. Shadow Sneak is valuable priority, letting Ceruledge pick off threats such as Dragapult, Gholdengo, Iron Valiant, and opposing Ceruledge that have been worn down. Taunt is important for preventing phazing from the likes of Ting-Lu while also preventing Toxapex's Haze. It also prevents status from the likes of Toxapex and Rotom-W, as well as recovery from defensive Pokemon like Clodsire, Toxapex, and Skeledirge. 12 Speed EVs ensure that Ceruledge is able to outspeed defensive Rotom-W, letting it prevent Thunder Wave with Taunt while being able to set up after Terastalization. Tera Bug gives Ceruledge a generally solid defensive typing with few weaknesses that synergizes well with Flash Fire. Additionally, it turns Ceruledge's Ground weakness into a resistance, letting it more easily take on Pokemon like Great Tusk and Tera Ground Volcarona. Meanwhile, Tera Fairy lets Ceruledge withstand hits from the likes of Choice Specs Dragapult and mixed Iron Valiant.
Ceruledge fits on various offensive teams as a potent wincon thanks to its combination of Bulk Up and Bitter Blade giving it good longevity. Wallbreakers such as Kingambit, Iron Valiant, and Greninja can break through Pokemon that would otherwise check Ceruledge like Dondozo and Garganacl, letting Ceruledge more easily find opportunities to clean. Pokemon like Meowscarada, Great Tusk, and Breloom appreciate Ceruledge's ability to check Volcarona. In return, these Pokemon can wear down threats like Rotom-W for Ceruledge to take advantage of later. Ceruledge's typing leaves it vulnerable to Dark-type Pokemon like Roaring Moon and Hydreigon. Fairy-types like Iron Valiant and Scream Tail make for solid teammates, as they can take a hit from and overwhelm these threats. In return, Ceruledge can act as a much-appreciated check to Pokemon like Iron Moth and Cinderace. Breloom also appreciates Ceruledge's ability to check Fire-types, and in return it can OHKO both Hydreigon and Roaring Moon with Mach Punch. Entry hazard support from the likes of Garchomp, Glimmora, and Meowscarada helps wear down aforementioned checks like Roaring Moon and Hydreigon.
