Pokémon Unite Ceruledge Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Ceruledge Guide will now discuss how to play or a perfect game plan for the Pokémon, across the game. The following division has two sections of the early and late game, which players must make sure to read, till the end.
Early Game
The game starts as Charcadet which has a different Basic and Passive attack from its main evolutionary form. In terms of laning, depending on one’s team composition going to the Top/Bottom is highly recommended. Players are also expected to unlock and use Lava Plume as it’s a good damaging move, that’s useful when faced with wild Apioms and opposing enemy Pokémon. After that at Level 4, which is pretty much early in the game, Charcadet evolves into Ceruledge.
Players must try to evolve within the first 2 minutes of the game since farming is key for faster Pokémon evolution. Lava Plume evolves into Bitter Blade and Psycho Cut with each dealing burst damage to enemies. Bitter Blade can be chosen if players intend to increase Ceruledge’s sustain using this skill’s bonus shield and HP regen.
The Defense reduction and movement speed slow-down make Psycho Cut a highly powerful ability to use when trying to target and takedown enemy Pokémon. Since the top lane is the most advisable lane for Ceruledge, players should focus on leveling up and scoring as many points as possible. On evolving into Ceruledge, players would be capable of easily handling opponent attackers.
Late Game
On attaining Level 7 and evolving Charcadet into Ceruledge, a choice has to be made between either Phantom Force or Flame Charge. Using Flame Charge is quite a good idea as it provides extra mobility whilst allowing the user to spam it easily due to its low Cooldown duration.
However, Phantom Force is a useful pick especially when faced with multiple enemy Pokémon targets as it ensures that the enemy caught within the skill receives the burst damage whilst being slowed. Nonetheless, players should choose according to the game plan. The Unite move can also be very useful during the Zapdos‘ fight to kill and steal, as it can help him maim and target enemy main damage dealers.
Positioning of Ceruledge
The best path for Ceruledge would be the top or bottom lane. Be it either of its evolutionary stages, the moves Ceruledge has are quite powerful for an all-rounder role Pokémon. Focus on farming the bottom lane’s Wild Pokémon. As an all-rounder, it is highly recommended that you move along with your allied speedster to help take down objectives.
Ceruledge with other Pokémon
Our Pokémon Unite Ceruledge guide will also talk about the relationship between Ceruledge and other Pokémon.
Best synergies with Ceruledge
Ceruledge is a Pokémon who would need an adventure partner to be an attacker.
| Pokémon | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Mamoswine | The freezing moves and high durability are a perfect companion for Ceruledge. |
| Slowbro | The Slow effect from Slowbro skills makes it easier for Ceruledge to catch up with enemies and take them down. |
| Comfey | Would further increase Ceruledge’s sustain whilst providing speed boosts or shields for Ceruledge. |
Pokémon which are strong and weak against Ceruledge
Ceruledge is countered by Pokémon with high Crowd-control or disable skill abilities. However, Ceruledge dominates against Pokémon with low or zero mobility as Ceruledge can easily engage and take them down with his damage abilities.
| Pokémon that Ceruledge counters | Pokémon that counter Ceruledge |
|---|---|
| Cramorant | Buzzwole |
| Gardevoir | Mamoswine |
| Blissey | Trevenant |
| Duraludon | Alolan Ninetales |
| Delphox | Blastoise |
Pokémon Unite Ceruledge Guide: Tips, tricks and strategies
Our Pokémon Unite Ceruledge guide includes the perfect game plan for the early and late game during the Unite battles.
- First and foremost, players should not venture alone, not especially into the enemy territory.
- As always, be sure to level up as early as possible, score plenty of goals, and most importantly, play as the team’s frontline whilst protecting your main attacker.
- Take advantage of Charcadet and Ceruledge’s passive as the boosted attack makes them more powerful the more they attack
- Phantom force is a powerful ability as it is not just capable of ignoring the enemy’s physical defense/shields when used but it can also be immune to the enemy’s damage and attacks in its first phase.
- Utilize Flame Charge ability as a quick engage skill because of its high mobility.
- Ceruledge should use the Unite move as a finish-off move especially when faced with multiple enemy targets, as it is an AOE damage skill.
