Ceruledge debuted in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One), having been sent out to against Friede's Charizard at the rooftops of Indigo Academy. Both sides were equally matched, but the battle ended abruptly when they all noticed Liko and her jumping from one roof to another. In that moment, Amethio saw an opportunity to strike Charizard down and commanded Ceruledge to use on it, but the deflected the attack, unintentionally causing the blade of psychic energy to fly past Friede and head towards Liko. Fortunately, Liko was shielded from the stray Psycho Cut by a mysterious green, hexagon-patterned protective sphere of energy that appeared around her. Soon after, Friede and Charizard rescued them from their fall and fled from the area.
In the next episode, Ceruledge battled against Friede again, this time facing off against Captain Pikachu. The battle was eventually stopped when Liko interfered, about to give herself up. However, after being encouraged by her Pokémon, she had Sprigatito attack Ceruledge with a so powerful that it managed to break the forcefield around the Brave Olivine's battlefield. However, this led to the Grass Cat Pokémon being blown overboard by the stormy winds in the process, allowing Amethio and his crew to kidnap her before fleeing.
In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Ceruledge again battled against Captain Pikachu, this time being able to push both Pikachu and Friede into a corner. However, just as they were about to win the battle, it was called off once Amethio noticed Liko running away with her recently-recovered Sprigatito and Friede and Captain Pikachu successfully escaping by flying on Friede's Charizard.
In The Ancient Poké Ball, Ceruledge was used to battle Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco in a two-on-one battle, where Ceruledge's superior battling experience and power easily overwhelmed the duo. The battle was called off once a Black Rayquaza emerged from Roy's , forcing the Explorers to retreat.
In Charge! Galar Mine!, Ceruledge battled against Friede's Charizard at the Galar Mine. This time, it gained a major lead due to the activation of its Ability once Charizard made direct contact with , sharply increasing its . However, the battle was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Lucius's .
In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Ceruledge attacked and scared off a , allowing Amethio and his group access to the ancient castle. In the following episode, Ceruledge battled against Friede's Charizard yet again and tricked it into making direct contact to activate its Ability, giving Ceruledge the upper hand. However, once Charizard stallized into a type, Ceruledge was defeated and knocked out by a single .
In Roar of the Black Rayquaza, Amethio used Ceruledge in a battle against the Black Rayquaza alongside but, despite doing its best, it was easily defeated. In the next episode, Amethio used Ceruledge to battle Hamber's in a battle. However, Ceruledge was defeated after Hamber Terastallized his Pokémon.
In From So Far Away, Ceruledge Terastallized for the first time into a pure type in order to face off against the Black Rayquaza. In stark contrast to last time, Ceruledge was able to effectively deal damage on the Legendary Pokémon, maneuvering around it with a series of Terastallization-enhanced attacks. After Friede entered the battle, the Fire Blades Pokémon teamed up with his Terastallized Charizard. For the remainder of the battle Ceruledge and Charizard managed to put up a good fight and effectively dealt more damage to Rayquaza, but despite this both eventually fell to Rayquaza's .
In The Approaching Shadow!, Ceruledge was used to battle Liko's Floragato on Glaseado Mountain. Having gotten much stronger since their last battle, Floragato was able to keep pace with Ceruledge, forcing Amethio to use Terastallization to gain the upper hand. Before Ceruledge could finish off Floragato, the battle was interrupted by Spinel, who tested the effects of his recently-obtained Laquium on his . The Laquium forced Umbreon into a berserk, feral-like state, giving it the strength to defeat Ceruledge in a single blow. Later, Spinel tricked Amethio, Ceruledge, and Liko into entering a nearby cave before sealing the entrance, trapping everyone but himself inside. Ceruledge was then ordered by Amethio to use multiple Psycho Cuts in an attempt to break through the cave walls but to no avail. In Liko and Amethio, thanks to Liko's suggestion Ceruledge kept everyone warm by starting a fire, until it teamed up with Corviknight and Floragato to break through the roof of the cave. After the group escaped, Ceruledge and Amethio parted ways with Liko and Floragato peacefully.
In HZ083, Ceruledge accompanied Amethio in the Exceed company laboratory to figure out Spinel's schemes. It was apparently captured by security guards hired by Spinel whilst trying to defend its Trainer. After being rescued and returned to Amethio by Hamber, Ceruledge accompanied Amethio to his mansion to form plans against Spinel, before setting off to Laqua.
===Personality and characteristics===
Ceruledge is Amethio's main battler Pokémon, being used in most of its 's battles. Ceruledge has shown to have many of its Trainer's traits, being quite cold and not hesitating to hit or wound other people with its attacks. Ceruledge presents itself as a completely obedient Pokémon, following every single one of Amethio's orders without question or hesitation. Its loyalty is further proven when it is shown to be willing to take on attacks and protect its Trainer from harm. In Liko and Amethio, Ceruledge used its fiery blades to keep its Trainer warm in a cold cave where they were trapped in. Much like Amethio, Ceruledge has been shown to still have a sense of honor even towards enemies, such as obeying Amethio's commands to save Liko's life when it had no reason to, and willingly teamed up with Friede's Charizard who it was enemies with against Lucius's Black Rayquaza in battle.
In terms of battling, Ceruledge is quite skilled and powerful, being able to battle and overwhelm Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco single-handedly without breaking a sweat. It was also shown to be capable of battling toe-to-toe against Friede's Charizard and Captain Pikachu, further showing its battling prowess and experience. Like most of its kind, Ceruledge is ruthless in battle and mainly relies on its speed and agility to overwhelm its opponents, and it will not hesitate to use sneak attacks and ambushes to its advantage.
