Ceruledge (Japanese: ソウブレイズ Soublades) is a dual-type Fire/Ghost Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It evolves from Charcadet when exposed to Malicious Armor. It is one of Charcadet's final forms, the other being Armarouge.

Biology

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. 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.

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.

Ceruledge is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Bitter Blade.

Evolution

Trivia

• Ceruledge has the same base stat values as its counterpart Armarouge, but with their assignments reversed between HP and Speed, Attack and Special Attack, and Defense and Special Defense.

Origin

Ceruledge may be based on a possessed suit of armor. Its design could also be based on medieval heroic tales of European knights, specifically on the poem El Cantar de mio Cid. The poem relates the legend of the Spanish knight El Cid, known for wielding two famous swords, Tizona and Colada; and is said to have won his most important battle after death, which would explain Ceruledge's Ghost typing.

Ceruledge could also be potentially based on an akuma, a Japanese fire spirit often depicted carrying a sword. It may also take some inspiration from jinn, humanoid fire spirits of Arabic mythology.

Name origin

Ceruledge may be a combination of cerulean (a shade of dark blue) and edge.

Soublades may be a combination of 蒼 sō (azure) or soul and blades. It may also involve blaze or レイス reisu (wraith).
