[SET COMMENTS]
Ceruledge is an exceptional wallbreaker on Fire teams with access to strong STAB moves and priority. Swords Dance allows it to setup quickly, enabling it to break walls like Toxapex, Hatterene, and Hisuian Goodra with relative ease. Bitter Blade is a splendid STAB move because of its HP-draining effect, allowing Ceruledge to re-enable its Focus Sash if it's not already consumed. Poltergeist is Ceruledge's strongest Ghost-type STAB move, allowing it to hit foes that resist Bitter Blade like Gouging Fire, Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Heatran. Shadow Sneak allows Ceruledge to check faster threats like Dragapult, Iron Boulder, Flutter Mane, and opposing Ceruledge comfortably. Weak Armor paired with Focus Sash provides a Speed boost to Ceruledge while also preventing it from being OHKOed. This makes Ceruledge faster than threats like Choice Scarf Iron Boulder and Choice Scarf Landorus when activated, checking the former with Poltergeist and the latter with +2 Bitter Blade.

Torkoal is an amazing teammate for Ceruledge, as it not only sets up Stealth Rock but can also remove opposing hazards with Rapid Spin. Torkoal also sets sun for Ceruledge, boosting the power of Bitter Blade and enhancing Ceruledge's wallbreaking capability, notably allowing it to OHKO specially defensive Gliscor at +2 Attack. Ogerpon-H is a great wallbreaking partner for Ceruledge thanks to its high Speed stat and Mold Breaker ability, allowing it to hit Heatran whose Air Balloon is popped, which completely walls Ceruledge. Ogerpon-H also hits Water-type threats like Hisuian Samurott, Keldeo, and non-Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, which can be problems for Ceruledge. In addition to that, Ogerpon-H helps to break bulky foes like Quagsire and Great Tusk, which Ceruledge cannot break on its own. Cinderace also collaborates well with Ceruledge, with its access to High Jump Kick allowing it to handle Ceruledge checks like Terapagos and Hydreigon. It also helps check Chien-Pao and Kingambit, which can check stop Ceruledge with Sucker Punch. Cinderace also has access to Court Change, which can remove hazards effectively, allowing Ceruledge to utilize its Focus Sash more reliably. Gouging Fire pairs well with Ceruledge, as it can check opposing Fire teams with Dragon Dance and Earthquake. Gouging Fire with Dragon-type STAB also effectively checks threats like Dragonite and Roaring Moon, which can cause trouble for Ceruledge. Heatran effectively provides hazards and spreads burns via Will-O-Wisp and Flame Body. Heatran also takes out foes like Kleavor and Archaludon with Magma Storm and Earth Power, which Ceruledge greatly appreciates. Volcarona is a setup sweeper that handles Dark-type foes like Chien-Pao, Darkrai, and Meowscarada with Bug Buzz. In return, Ceruledge pressures foes like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu, which Volcarona can't break. Hisuian Arcanine has strong STAB moves in Head Smash and Flare Blitz, and it's an amazing late-game cleaner to compliment Ceruledge's wallbreaking capability, checking foes like Pelipper and Mandibuzz which Ceruledge may struggle against. Iron Moth can not only set up Toxic Spikes for Ceruledge, but it can also absorb them to prevent Ceruledge from getting poisoned. Talonflame and Rotom-H provide a much-needed Ground immunity; Talonflame can remove hazards, pressure Fighting-type threats like Keldeo and Urshifu-R with Brave Bird, and use U-turn to pivot into Ceruledge, while Rotom-H can set up screens to fortify Ceruledge, pivot into it using Volt Switch, and allow it to set up more comfortably. Volcanion boasts amazing synergy with Ceruledge, as it can check Ground-type threats like Ursaluna-B and Great Tusk. Volcanion also prevents Belly Drum Azumarill on Fairy teams from becoming a threat. In return, Ceruledge can deal with Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant, which can threaten Volcanion with Thunderbolt. Volcanion can also switch into Ground-type attacks from threats like Landorus and Excadrill with the help of an Air Balloon. Ninetales is an alternative Sun setter which not only provides speed control but can also provide Healing Wish support, allowing Ceruledge to use its Focus Sash if it hasn't been consumed.

Ceruledge is an exceptional wallbreaker on Fire teams, with access to strong STAB moves and priority. Swords Dance allows it to setup quickly, thus enabling it to break walls like Toxapex, Hatterene, and Hisuian Goodra with relative ease. The Fire-type STAB move, Bitter Blade, is preferred due to the provision of recovery (preferred over what? Maybe change the wording a little since there's no other thing. You could also mention what targets should cerul keep its sash for to remove those, like the aforementioned boulder, but probably a lot more), allowing Ceruledge to re-enable its Focus Sash if it is not already consumed. Poltergeist is Ceruledge's strongest Ghost-type STAB move, allowing Ceruledge to hit foes that resist its Bitter Blade like Gouging Fire, Toxapex, and Heatran (add Skeledirge imo). Shadow Sneak allows Ceruledge to check faster threats like Dragapult, Choice Scarf Gholdengo (not really an issue for Fire, could be picking off Iron Boulders too tho :eyes:), Flutter Mane, and opposing Ceruledge comfortably. The ability Weak Armor paired with Focus Sash provides a Speed boost to Ceruledge while also preventing it to be knocked out, thus making it faster than most of the metagame at +2 Speed and enhancing its wallbreaking rampage (can mention how fast is +2 speed, like being fast enough to outspeed and bonk Scarf Iron Boulder for instance).

Torkoal is an amazing teammate for Ceruledge as it can not only set up Stealth Rock for Ceruledge but can also remove hazards on its own side with Rapid Spin. It also simultaneously sets Sun for Ceruledge boosting the power of Bitter Blade and enhancing Ceruledge's wallbreaking capability (if there's a potential OHKO range here, like cleanly OHKO'ing Spdef Glisc at +2, add them meow) . Ogerpon-H is a great wallbreaking partner for Ceruledge, thanks to its high Speed stat and ability, allowing it to hit Heatran whose Air Balloon is popped, which completely walls Ceruledge. Ogerpon-H also hits Water-type threats like Hisuian Samurott, Keldeo, and Urshifu-R without Choice Scarf which can be problems for Ceruledge (I think mentioning Quagsire and Great Tusks are important here as they're one of the mons that Ceruledge just cannot hope to break). Cinderace also collaborates well with Ceruledge, with access to High Jump Kick allowing it to hit foes like Roaring Moon (this is a speedtie, so this might be undesireable, Chien cant OHKO you without band at least), Terapagos, and Chien Pao which can be problems for Ceruledge. It also helps check Kingambit whose Sucker Punch can be detrimental for Ceruledge. Cinderace also has access to Court Change which can remove hazards effectively, allowing Ceruledge to utilize its Focus Sash more efficiently. Gouging Fire pairs well with Ceruledge, allowing it to check opposing Fire teams with Dragon Dance and Earthquake (its also able to carry Dragon moves which can be useful if you're against a Roaring Moon or Dragonite which you dont quite...like). Heatran effectively provides hazards and spreads burn through Will-O-Wisp and Flame Body. Skeledirge has amazing synergy with Ceruledge, allowing it to take down foes that have setup already thanks to Unaware, and amazing special coverage. (Imo dont pair Skele and Cerul on the same team) Volcarona is a setup sweeper that handles Dark-type foes like Chien Pao, Darkrai, and Meowscarada with Bug Buzz. In return, Ceruledge checks (maybe not "check, but pressure/deals with?") foes like Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu which Volcarona can't break. Hisuian Arcanine has strong STABs in Head Smash and Flare Blitz, and is an amazing late-game cleaner to compliment Ceruledge's wallbreaking capability. Iron Moth can not only setup Toxic Spikes for Ceruledge, but can also absorb them so as to prevent Ceruledge from getting poisoned. Talonflame and Rotom-H provide a much-needed Ground-type immunity. Talonflame can remove hazards (it also threatens Fighting-types like Keld and Shifu which can be annoying) and U-turn into Ceruledge while Rotom-H can setup screens to fortify Ceruledge and allow it to setup with more comfort. Volcanion boasts amazing synergy with Ceruledge as it can check Ground-type threats like Ursaluna-B and Great Tusk. Volcanion also prevents Belly Drum Azumarill on Fairy teams to become a threat. In return, Ceruledge can deal with Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant, whose Thunderbolt can prove detrimental for Volcanion. Volcanion can also switch into Ground-type attacks from threats like Landorus and Excadrill with the help of an Air Balloon.

- Shadow Sneak allows Ceruledge to check faster threats like Dragapult, Choice Scarf Iron Boulder, Flutter Mane, and opposing Ceruledge comfortably. [Choice Scarf in this sense only tells the reader that Iron Boulder runs Choice Scarf but that is not the purpose of this analysis and the item itself has no correlation to Shadow Sneak. Later you mention how Weak Armor allows it to creep Scarf Iron Boulder but in this sense its fluff.]
- (...) thus enhancing its wallbreaking rampage. [Boomp is confused here but from my POV this sentence should only be talking about the speed stat and if we keep this part in we should probably add another sentence for a usage tip. In similar reference to "opposing Ceruledge comfortably". I would just keep it short and remove that part and emphasize its capabilities early if u want that added]
