Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 156 Atk / 252 Def / 100 Spe
Adamant Nature

HP : 291
Attack : 357
Defense : 259
Speed : 231

NPCs: No requirements.

Strategy:
T1-T3: 3x Bitter Blade (if you get targeted by Ruination and Crunched 3 times in a row you may get KO'd but that's fine)
T4: Terastalize, Bitter Blade (until your stats reset and the 2nd Haze is used at 70% clock time)
T5: Swords Dance
T6+: Bitter Blade

Notes: the swords dance is optional, but it speeds things up. flash fire serves the purpose of not having weak armor, which would cause ceruledge's defense to be frequently debuffed. sunny day can be added, but should not be used until after terastalizing to avoid extending the duration of the crunch weakness.

Pros: supereffective tera type matching base type, fantastic attack stat, great defense stat, outspeeds (preventing flinches from icicle crash and allowing quick recovery from ruination), no weaknesses after terastalizing, resists ice shard and icicle crash, immune to sacred sword before terastalizing, swords dance buffs attack 2 stages, covert cloak prevents defense debuffs from crunch (normally 20% chance), bitter blade has 90 base power, 100 accuracy, and deals supereffective STAB (tera-boosted when terastalized) damage. it recovers HP equal to 50% of damage dealt.

Cons: mediocre HP stat, weak to crunch before terastalizing
