[SET COMMENT]
Cetitan, with its combination of Slush Rush and Belly Drum, is an exceptional wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Ice teams. Normalium Z allows Cetitan to use Z-Belly Drum, which gives it easier setup opportunities. Icicle Crash is the preferred STAB move because of its higher Base Power and the ability to ignore contact effects like Skarmory's Rocky Helmet and Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs; alternatively, the weaker Ice Spinner can be used for its higher accuracy. Earthquake targets Steel- and Fire-types like Gholdengo, Archaludon, Heatran, and Victini as well as Toxapex. Alternatively, Knock Off provides Cetitan with a way to threaten Slowbro and Rotom-W. Ice Shard, after a Belly Drum boost, allows Cetitan to pick off Choice Scarf foes like Sneasler and Iron Boulder, which outspeed it even in snow. A Jolly nature can also be used to allow Cetitan to outspeed Choice Scarf users like Blacephalon, Iron Moth, and Iron Treads in snow. Alolan Ninetales is an essential teammate for its ability to set snow and provide Aurora Veil support, facilitating Cetitan's sweeping capabilities. Kyurem and Alolan Ninetales also break through bulky Water-types like Slowbro and Rotom-W, which Cetitan may struggle against. With entry hazard support from Piloswine and Cloyster, Cetitan can OHKO threats like Skarmory, Corviknight, and Ferrothorn. Furthermore, Cloyster also provides hazard removal with Rapid Spin, increasing Cetitan's longevity.
