Celebi's role in the 1v1 metagame is that of a special wallbreaker, where it utilizes strong STAB moves and Trick + Recover to break through bulkier threats. Leaf Storm is Celebi's strongest STAB move and hits Pokemon like Gardevoir, Milotic, and Dracovish. Psychic completes Celebi's STAB combination and provides coverage against Poison-types such as Toxtricity and Silvally-Poison as well as against Fighting-types like Conkeldurr and Kommo-o. Trick allows Celebi to break down bulkier threats that STAB options would otherwise not deal with, locking Pokemon such Corviknight, Galarian Corsola, Ferrothorn and Type: Null into either a setup or an attacking move that you can PP stall with Recover. The EVs allow Celebi to outspeed a non-Choice Scarf Haxorus while also being able to live a Choice Band Outrage from Haxorus. The Special Attack allows Celebi to OHKO uninvested non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z with Leaf Storm Changing Celebi's EVs to 164 Def / 112 SpA / 232 Spe allows Celebi to beat Choice Band Sawk, surviving a Knock Off.
Crustle and Fire-type Pokemon such as Rotom-H and Choice Scarf Darmanitan are fantastic teammates due to their general ability to handle several of Celebi's weaknesses like Bug-, Steel-, Flying-, and Ice-type Pokemon, such as Magnezone, non-Choice Scarf Durant, Togekiss, Mandibuzz, Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan, and Kyurem. In return, Celebi takes care of Water-types, such as Primarina and Rotom-W, that these team options often struggle to beat. Another good partner for Celebi are bulky Dark-types, like Urshifu-S and Incineroar, as it takes care of Ghost-types, like Gengar and Dragapult, which Celebi is weak to. Incineroar also deals with prominent Steel-types like Aegislash and Magnezone that wall Celebi as well as most other Fire-type Pokemon like Arcanine and Chandelure. Celebi, in return, is able to handle Fighting-type Pokemon like Sawk and Kommo-o and Water-type Pokemon such as Primarina and Rotom-W, which threaten Incineroar. Because it is immune to Leech Seed, Celebi is also a good partner for Pokemon that struggle with beating Whimsicott variants such as Rotom-Heat and Dracovish. In return, these Pokemon take care of common threats to Celebi such as Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan, Togekiss, and Sylveon.
