Ceruledge's sun-boosted Bitter Blade offers a combination of power and longevity scarcely seen in a wallbreaker. Choice Band Bitter Blade 2HKOes the majority of the metagame, while Choice Scarf Ceruledge outpaces Iron Bundle and Dragapult. Close Combat hits Garganacl and Well-Baked Body Steel-types, and Solar Blade hits Great Tusk. Will-O-Wisp cripples many of Ceruledge's switch-ins, such as Garganacl and Fur Coat Iron Hands. On Choice Band sets, a Jolly Nature is useful for outpacing opposing Ceruledge and Gholdengo. The additional power offered by Orichalcum Pulse guarantees the OHKO against Dragapult with Choice Scarf Shadow Claw, but Desolate Land can be used to offensively check Iron Bundle. Ceruledge's Stealth Rock weakness and lackluster bulk make Defog and pivot support from a teammate like Corviknight very valuable. Great Tusk's offensive presence and Knock Off support greatly complements Ceruledge's own offensive prowess and burn spreading capabilities; defensive cores can quickly crumble under the weight of entry hazards, burn chip, and repeated subjection to Bitter Blade and Headlong Rush. Fast special attackers like Iron Bundle and Dragapult help deal with faster threats and Garganacl.
