Thanks to Lucarionite, Ceruledge inherits the formidable ability Adaptability and impressive offensive stats, establishing itself as one of the most feared wallbreakers and mid-game setup sweepers capable of OHKOing all but the bulkiest Pokémon in the tier with its powerful STABs. Shadow Sneak further enhances its destructive capabilities, allowing it to pick off chipped Pokémon such as Iron Boulder and Urshifu-R in the mid-game that would otherwise outspeed and threaten a KO. Adamant nature is crucial to maximize Ceruledge's wallbreaking potential, although Jolly nature can enable it to outspeed Adamant Arceus-Ground, Aerodactylite Urshifu-R, and Blue Orb Zapdos. To circumvent its lackluster speed tier, Ceruledge can delay its Mega Evolution to take advantage of its Weak Armor ability, which allows it to outspeed almost all opponents after being hit by light physical attacks such as Regieleki's Rapid Spin and Corviknight's U-Turn. However, the defense drop renders it highly vulnerable to revenge killing by Extreme Speed users that it otherwise would handle with ease. Alternatively, utilizing Flash Fire enables Ceruledge to safely switch into Fire-type moves from Entei, Arcanine-Hisui, and Dragonite, furthermore boosting its Bitter Blade to incredible power. As a glass cannon wallbreaker and setup sweeper, Ceruledge thrives when accompanied by teammates that facilitate its setup and can wall the fast and powerful threats that would outspeed it. Notably, slow defensive pivots like Pecharunt, Slowking-Galar, and Magearna help Ceruledge safely enter the battlefield, enabling it to repeatedly unleash its powerful attacks. Sturdy counters to offensive checks, such as Rocky Helmet Eternatus, Magearna, Garganacl, and defensive Arceus-Formes, complement Ceruledge by switching into some of its hard counters, including Great Tusk, Urshifu-R, Arceus-Ground, and Arceus-Water. Defensive Groudon is another particularly synergistic partner, offering Will-O-Wisp support to cripple physical attackers, Stealth Rock to guarantee otherwise uncertain KOs, and sun to empower its Bitter Blades even further. Similarly, other hazard setters, such as Great Tusk and Magearna, are excellent pairing options for Ceruledge. Entry Hazard removal from the likes of Regieleki and Great Tusk are nearly mandatory due to Ceruledge's Stealth Rock weakness. Special attackers such as Raging Bolt, Life Orb Eternatus, and Audinite Spectrier form great synergy with Ceruledge, as they can effectively deal with physical walls like Gyaradosite Pecharunt, Mandibuzz, and Alomomola, which Ceruledge struggles against.

Thanks to Lucarionite, Ceruledge inherits the formidable ability Adaptability and impressive offensive stats, establishing itself as one of the most feared wallbreakers and mid-game setup sweepers in the tier. lowkey there’s a lot of repetition in these 2 sentences, I’d rather you just kinda merge them together Utilizing its excellent offensive Adaptability-boosted STAB moves in Bitter Blade and Poltergeist, a Swords Dance-boosted Ceruledge is capable of OHKOing all but the bulkiest Pokémon in the tier. Shadow Sneak further enhances its destructive capabilities, allowing it to pick off chipped Pokémon like what? in the mid-game that would otherwise outspeed and threaten a KO. Adamant nature is crucial to maximize Ceruledge's wallbreaking potential, although Jolly nature can enable it to outspeed Adamant Arceus-formes Arceus-Ground and Blue Orb Zapdos realistically that’s the only way you’re seeing this but I might be wrong, also Aerodactylite urshifu-rs prob deserves a mention. To circumvent its lackluster speed tier, Ceruledge can delay its Mega Evolution to take advantage of its Weak Armor ability, which allows it to outspeed almost all opponents after being hit by light physical attacks such as Regieleki's Rapid Spin and Corviknight's U-Turn. also mention the downside to weak armor proccing is that you now get easily revenge killed even by Altarianite espeeders (ik somebody said this in discord chat I just dk who) Alternatively, utilizing Flash Fire enables Ceruledge to safely switch into Fire-type moves from Entei, Arcanine-Hisui, and Dragonite, furthermore boosting its Bitter Blade to incredible power.

I would also mention hazard setters to wear down said (few) checks, but this analysis is big enough so you’re choice

Just a couple nitpicks (Lightniong touched on most of it) but overall well written.
