Celesteela is an Ultra Beast Pokémon introduced in the seventh generation. Its English name is Celesteela and its Japanese name is テッカグヤ. It is one of the most iconic creatures to emerge from the Ultra Wormhole and holds a very particular place in the competitive meta and in the trading card game.

Celesteela is a Steel and Flying dual-type Pokémon, an extremely solid defensive combination. This typing allows it to resist a very large number of moves while maintaining an excellent presence on the field. In play, it is best known for its role as a defensive wall capable of wearing down opponents over time.
