Ceruledge is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, with blue colorations on its head, arms and legs. Its head has sharp pale blue "ears" protruding from either side, and has a fire burning above it that resembles the plume on a knight's helmet. Its eyes have pink irises and wisps emanating from its white pupils. Almost all of Ceruledge's body is covered in an old dark purplish blue suit of armor, filled with grudges.[1] A plate with three pink indentations on its center covers Ceruledge's face. Instead of hands, Ceruledge wields purple-cyan blades created from both fire and ghost energy — specifically, the lingering regrets of the deceased. These blades can grow into great swords in battle, increasing Ceruledge's power in the process.[1]
Ceruledge is merciless and will do anything to win a battle. It prefers to do close-quarters combat, with a mix of sneak and surprise attacks. By using its quick speed to locate a foe's blind spots, it will then move closer before slashing them with its large swords. Any cuts from Ceruledge's swords will cause wounds that leak life energy, which the swords then absorb.[1]
Ceruledge is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Bitter Blade.

Origin
Ceruledge may be based on a possessed suit of armor and an akuma, a Japanese fire spirit often depicted carrying a sword. The armor itself closely resembles those worn by European knights. It may also take some inspiration from jinn, humanoid fire spirits of Arabic mythology.
Name origin
