- Swords Dance
- Bitter Blade
- Poltergeist
- Endure

With the newfound access to Z-Moves, Ceruledge slices and dices National Dex, using it's power further complemented by Swords Dance and Weak Armor to sweep unprepared teams. Swords Dance takes Ceuledge to new heights of power, allowing it to OHKO Landorus-T with Poltergeist and Alomomola with Never-Ending Nightmare. Bitter Blade lets Ceruledge use targets like Melmetal as an opportunity to keep itself healthy. Poltergeist at +2 can easily 2HKO non-resistant Pokemon such as Zapdos and Toxapex, and with Never-Ending Nightmare, it can muscle through checks like Alomomola at +2. Endure lets Ceruledge stay in on Landorus-T and Ogerpon-W to activate Weak Armor easily. Ceruledge fits best on Offense teams, as Ceruledge only has one chance to sweep most times. It is also a good option on Sun teams, as common breakers like Mega Charizard Y can put holes in teams beforehand, as well as sun boosting Bitter Blade to gain further healing from attacks. Ceruledge is really offset by it's Stealth Rock weakness, so Pokemon that can prevent them, such as Hatterene and Great Tusk, are near required.
