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 a set of Malicious Armor. It is one of Charcadet's final forms, the other being Armarouge.

Biology

Ceruledge's retracted blade

Ceruledge is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though some regions on its head, arms, and legs are dark blue. From each side of its head, a sharp pale blue protrusion extends outward, giving the impression of ears; from the back of its head, a blue and purple fire burns upward, resembling the plume on a knight's helmet. Its eyes have pink irises and wisps emanating from its white pupils. A plate with three pink indentations on its center covers its face. Almost all of Ceruledge's body is covered in an old set of dark purplish-blue armor steeped with grudges. Instead of hands, Ceruledge wields purple-cyan blades created from both fire and ghost energy—specifically, the lingering regrets of the fallen. These blades can grow into great swords in battle, increasing Ceruledge's power in the process. As seen in the Pokémon Horizons: The Series episode HZ065, the blades can emit heat even when retracted.

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

Ceruledge evolves from Charcadet and is one of its final forms, the other being Armarouge.

Trivia

• Ceruledge and its evolutionary relatives were designed by Tomohiro Kitakaze.
• 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).
