[SET COMMENTS]
Fur Coat Celesteela acts as a decent physical wall for teams looking for a Ground immunity while soft checking Ash-Greninja and non-Mold Breaker Koraidon. Teleport brings in dangerous wallbreakers safely. Beak Blast, if it successfully burns, instantly kills any physical wallbreaker's hopes of dealing damage except mixed attackers with Electro Drift; it also outdamages Jungle Healing from Mega Garchomp. Knock Off annoys defensive switch-ins like Mega Audino by removing items like Covert Cloak, while Salt Cure can help rack up large amounts of passive damage and more directly threatens Imposter users. Stone Axe capitalizes on the switches Celesteela often forces by virtue of its typing by setting entry hazards, but it's notably worse against Imposter users. Recover provides reliable healing in the face of wallbreaker + Strength Sap blocker structures, while Strength Sap has higher burst healing against some teams, is easier to Imposter-proof, (comma) neutralizes Mega Garchomp, (comma) and helps versus Ash-Greninja. Rocky Helmet helps wear away at physical attackers without needing entry hazard support and throttles Ash-Greninja into spamming Wicked Blow, while Covert Cloak shuts off Salt Cure's crushing passive damage. Physical wallbreakers like Mega Garchomp appreciate Celesteela Imposter-proofing them and blocking Mortal Spin to keep hazards on the field to increase the odds of KOs. Celesteela can be vulnerable to Bolt Strike or Electro Drift users like Mega Lucario and mixed attackers like Ultra Necrozma, so sturdy walls to them like Miraidon and Ice Scales Arceus-Ground makes for good partners. Imposter-proof Celesteela with a Magic Bounce user, a Magic Guard user not deterred by burns or Knock Off like Arceus-Ghost, or a RegenVest user like Primal Kyogre.
