Strategy Overview
- The ability to counter top threats like Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, and Garchomp makes Celesteela an easy fit on teams.
- This is further true given the prevalence of Trick Room and rain, as these help compensate for its weaknesses.
- Celesteela's access to Wide Guard is valuable given that many top offensive threats utilize powerful spread moves.
- It has few weaknesses, but nevertheless it is threatened by common foes such as Tapu Koko, Alolan Marowak, and Arcanine.
- Its role in the metagame is essentially unrivalled, although Kartana and Magnezone are alternative Steel-types.
