[SET COMMENTS]

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon that mainly redirects attacks with Follow Me and sets up Trick Room. The Psychic Terrain that it sets up supports its teammates by protecting them from opposing priority moves like Sucker Punch and Fake Out.

- Follow Me provides redirection so that an allied Pokemon can safely set up Tailwind or Trick Room or set up with moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, and Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Imprison prevents Trick Room from being set up by foes and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Dazzling Gleam is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold Focus Sash.

- Safety Goggles provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder while allowing Indeedee-F to use Follow Me to redirect Spore. Psychic Seed ensures that it takes attacks like Ursaluna-B's Blood Moon better. Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with contact-making moves or have said attacks redirected to it. Some of these contact moves are Annihilape's Drain Punch and Rage Fist, Rillaboom's Wood Hammer, and Sneasler's Dire Claw and Close Combat. Rocky Helmet also has the ability to break Focus Sashes and threaten any Pokemon that use multi-hit moves, such as Maushold and its Population Bomb. Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity by allowing it to survive moves like +4 Archaludon's Body Press and Pelipper's Weather Ball.

- Fairy is the best Tera type for Indeedee-F. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch, Archaludon's Body Press, and Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop and an immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Dragapult. As a little bonus, it offers a STAB boost to Dazzling Gleam. Tera Grass gives Indeedee-F a resistance to Grass-type moves such as Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Water-type moves such as Basculegion-M's Wave Crash and Pelipper's rain-boosted Weather Ball, which are its partners' most common weaknesses. Tera Grass also provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and redirection. However, if Indeedee-F uses Safety Goggles Tera Grass is not recommended.


[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding

- Indeedee-F works best on dedicated Trick Room teams, using Follow Me to almost always guarantee its partner to set up Trick Room as well as pairing well with Trick Room sweepers. It sets up Psychic Terrain to prevent Fake Out from disturbing your team's Trick Room setup as well as preventing priority attacks from threatening its partners.

- Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B are common partners for Indeedee-F. Trick Room can help with the speed control both Ursaluna formes need, and Follow Me can protect them from non-spread moves while allowing them to deal Normal-type damage with Blood Moon and Facade and Ground-type damage with Headlong Rush, Earthquake, and Earth Power. Other Trick Room sweepers, such as Hatterene and Torkoal, are the best Trick Room partners for Indeedee-F. Hatterene can threaten the opponent's team with heavy Psychic-type damage from Expanding Force, and Torkoal can threaten heavy Fire-type damage with Eruption, Weather Ball, and Heat Wave. Gallade can threaten Dark-type Pokemon with Sacred Sword and provide Wide Guard support to protect its side of the field from spread moves. Sneasler pairs nicely with Indeedee-F because Sneasler can hold the Psychic Seed, activating its Unburden ability.

- Kingambit will decimate any opposing Indeedee-F. Even if Indeedee-F Terastallizes into a Fairy-type, Kingambit will still do significant amount of damage to it. Therefore, a Fighting-type Pokemon like Sneasler should be used to threaten Kingambit, as it can almost always guarantee a OHKO on Kingambit with Close Combat. Rillaboom is another threat to watch out for, as it can set up Grassy Terrain, which can override the Psychic Terrain that Indeedee-F sets up.


Strategy Comments

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon. It redirects attacks with Follow Me, provides speed control with Trick Room, provides important chip damage with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam, and helps partners spam Expanding Force.

- Indeedee-F is best used early-game. As a lead, it is really good to get a head start at initializing your strategy. Sneasler, Ursaluna-B , and Ursaluna are all common Pokemon to lead alongside Indeedee-F. The Sneasler + Indeedee-F lead doesn't require Trick Room to be utilized and does not require any other setup. The Ursaluna-B + Indeedee-F lead does not have to be in Trick Room, depending on the Speed investment of Ursaluna-B, and it unleashes some of the largest amount of special damage in the metagame. Ursaluna and Indeedee-F have to be in Trick Room and need Ursaluna's Guts boost to be utilized thoroughly. However, this lead provides some of the largest amount of physical damage in the metagame.

- The biggest weakness Indeedee-F has to deal with is the move Taunt. Taunt prevents Indeedee-F from setting up Trick Room and doing its job as a supportive Pokemon. The most reliable way to get rid of Taunt is to switch Indeedee-F out. Sometimes, Indeedee-F has to rely on its ally to set up Trick Room instead. Because it is a Trick Room Pokemon, it is vulnerable to being double targeted, which prevents Trick Room from being set up. Fortunately, it has Follow Me, which can redirect non-spread moves to it, allowing its ally to set up Trick Room.

- Psychic space / spaceDazzling Gleam

- Overview: Indeedee-F is the de facto Psychic Terrain setter in Pokemon VGC Regulation H. It can be used in hard Trick Room teams, supporting the entire team, activating the Psyspam Strategy The immediate separation from the first sentence from how Indeedee-F is a psychic terrain setter almost disconnects your first two points, try to draw a better conection between how Indeedee-F AS a support can perform these supporting role, and supporting one of the most common Sweepers in the current Metagame: This statement makes it seem definitive and objective, try to not use such high modality implications, rather use “such as” Ursaluna-Bloodmoon. Also you’re writing as if Bloodmoon is the ONLY sweeper, why single it out?

- Key Moves: Follow Me and Trick Room are mandatory to have on Indeedee-F. Follow Me provides with re-direction that way your other Pokemon can safely any pokemon can set up, but the PURPOSE of follow me is to mitigate the harm dealt towards them while setting up set-up with speed control moves such as Tailwind kind of contradictory against your previous statement on how Indeedee-F can ONLY be used in hard TR teams or Trick Room, or set-up with classic set-up moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, or Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Trick Room is for speed control. Helping Hand is outstanding on a support Pokemon at least say what it does, because Indeedee-F cannot output that much damage by itself. Imprison prevents its Trick Room from being negated by foes, this statement has a very nuanced meaning and likely new players won’t understand what you mean, explicitly say what it is exactly used for such as to prevent a TR reversal or to prevent TR from being set up by opponents if YOU do not need it. and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Psychic is boosted by both Same-Type-Attack-Bonus (STAB) Not needed as it is just regurgitated info and the Psychic Terrain it sets up upon switch-in, but it can be redirected write this after talking about how D gleam cannot be redirected to present pros and cons clearer. Whereas This would add parallels and a proper side by side comparison, allowing readers to evaluate and choose which move they choose based off this Dazzling Gleam is weaker, it cannot be redirected, and it is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold the Focus Sash item.

- Item Differences: I honestly prefer Safety Goggles and Sitrus Berry on my Indeedee-F but do not let that determine what item you should put on your Indeedee-F. refrain from including personal bias or first person words as this type of format we all are writing in is purely to provide info to the public, using different phrasing in way that objectively weighs the pros and cons without personal bias, which would convey a more professional stance, .Safety Goggles provide immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder You can talk about how Indeedee-F can redirect spores into it while using googles, Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity, Psychic Seed provides Special Defense bulk to Indeedee-F, and Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with Contact attacking moves uyou could mention also how follow could redirect contact moves into Indeedee-F.

- Tera Type Considerations: Indeedee-F needs This is high modality which again shouldn’t be used without uncertainty, also Indeedee-F doesn’t NEED a tera, it would appreciate it though because it’s psychic type, a defensive Tera Type. Therefore, Fairy is the best Tera Type for this Pokemon. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch (Psychic Terrain makes Sucker Punch useless, but just in case Psychic Terrain has worn off or has been overridden, it is still an option), Archaludon's Body Press, Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop, and immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, Dragapult, Dondozo, Tatsugiri, Hydreigon, and Salamence no need for so much to be listed, can just list the most relevant ones. As a little cheeky bonus, it offers a Same-Attack-Type-Bonus (STAB) boost to Dazzling Gleam, if it was your attacking move of choice.

- EV Spread: This EV Spread is the bulkiest Indeedee wants to be without being a deadweight. It has minimum Attack to take as little damage from Foul Play as possible and has minimum Speed to perform as well in Trick Room as possible. Well technically it doesn't because the moves trick room, follow me and helping hand are all priority moves so Indeedee-F's speed only really concerns its damaging move psychic or D gleam

You are missing a whole 2 sections!!!!!!!!!

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding
============
- Synergy: Broadly, describe what types of Pokémon, moves, or strategies work best with this set. If the set is offensive, what teammates can support it by providing speed control, redirection, or wallbreaking support? Are there any type synergies this Pokemon likes, or playstyles. If theres more than 2 sets, generally put specific partners in the set comments section, but you can also put it here but specify (Ex. For Choice Banded Dragonite its good on ___ teams, while Assault Vest sets are better with ___)
- Specific Partners: List specific Pokémon or archetypes that synergize well with this Pokémon, covering weaknesses or helping it accomplish its role more efficiently.
- Weakness Coverage: Identify the main weaknesses of the set and suggest partners that can mitigate these issues, like covering specific matchups or typing weaknesses.



Strategy Comments
============
- Main Role: Explain the Pokémon’s main role (sweeper, support, etc.) and how it achieves its function. Describe the situations where this Pokémon shines and how to get into those positions.
- Playstyle: Offer advice on how to use the Pokémon throughout the battle, such as whether it’s better early or late game, and how to adjust play style depending on matchups. Explain the differences in playstyle between sets if applicable.
- Counters & Checks: List the major threats or counters and suggest some ways to handle or mitigate these threats. Either its literal Pokemon counters, or playstyle stuff like switching out, using other team members to handle them, or waiting until the counter has been weakened.

[SET]
Bulky Support (Indeedee-F) @ Rocky Helmet / Psychic Seed / Safety Goggles / Sitrus Berry
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Follow Me
- Trick Room
- Helping Hand / Imprison
- Psychic / Dazzling Gleam

- Overview:(delete all of these) Indeedee-F is the de facto Psychic Terrain setter in Pokemon VGC Regulation H. It The Psychic Terrain that it sets up supports the its team by protecting the team them from any opposing Priority attacking moves priority like Sucker Punch and Fake Out, while preventing you from using any priority attacking moves on grounded opposing targets. It redirects attacks with Follow Me, sets up speed control with Trick room, and chips away at the opponent's Pokemon with Psychic and Dazzling Gleam. Indeedee-F also likes supporting Metagame Sweepers, such as Ursaluna-Bloodmoon.

- Key Moves: Follow Me and Trick Room are mandatory to have on Indeedee-F. Follow Me provides with re-direction that way your other so that an allied Pokemon can safely any Pokemon can set up, minimizing the damage they take while setting up set-up with speed control moves such as Tailwind or Trick Room, or set-up with set-up moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, or Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Trick Room is for speed control. Helping Hand is outstanding on a support Pokemon, because Indeedee-F cannot output that much damage by itself. Helping Hand is a move that sacrifices the user's attacking power for that turn to boost the ally's attacks by 50% for the turn you used Helping Hand. Imprison prevents its Trick Room from being set up or taken advantage of by foes and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Dazzling Gleam is weaker, it cannot be redirected, and it is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold the Focus Sash item, whereas Psychic is boosted by both STAB and the Psychic Terrain it sets up upon switch-in, but it can be redirected.

- Item Differences: Safety Goggles provide immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder while allowing Indeedee-F to use Follow Me to redirect Spores, Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity, Psychic Seed provides Special Defense bulk to Indeedee-F, and Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with Contact contact attacking moves or have said attacks redirected. Follow Me can force any opposing Pokemon to target Indeedee-F. Should they have a contact move, they will take damage from the Rocky Helmet. Keep in mind that out of these four items, only the Sitrus Berry allows you to heal Indeedee-F freely.

- Tera Type Considerations: Indeedee-F appreciates a defensive Tera Type. Therefore, Fairy is the best Tera Type for this Pokemon. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch (Psychic Terrain makes Sucker Punch useless, but just in case Psychic Terrain has worn off or has been overridden, it is still an option), Archaludon's Body Press, Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop, and immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Dragapult. As a little bonus, it offers a STAB boost to Dazzling Gleam, if it was your attacking move of choice.

- EV Spread: This EV Spread is the bulkiest Indeedee wants to be without being a deadweight. It has minimum Attack to take as little damage from Foul Play as possible and has minimum Speed to perform as well in Trick Room as possible. You can run as much Speed EVs as you wish on Indeedee-F, because Psychic / Dazzling Gleam are the only non-priority moves that Indeedee-F normally uses.(just a 252/252 spread so it doesn't need much elaboration)

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding

- Synergy: Indeedee-F works best in hard Trick Room teams, setting up the Psychic Terrain to prevent Fake Out from disturbing your Trick Room set-up, and using Follow Me to almost always guarantee your partner to set up Trick Room. It also pairs well with Trick Room sweepers.

- Specific Partners: Sneasler pairs nicely with Indeedee-F, because Sneasler can hold the Psychic Seed (assuming Indeedee-F isn't holding the Psychic Seed it), activating its Unburden ability when the Psychic Seed activates in the Psychic Terrain. Unburden doubles Sneasler's speed when its item has been consumed. This boost goes away when Sneasler leaves the battlefield. Ursaluna and Ursaluna-Bloodmoon are common partners for Indeedee-F. Trick Room can help with the speed control both Ursalunas need and Follow Me can protect them from non-spread moves.

- Weakness Coverage: The biggest weakness Indeedee-F has to deal with is the move Taunt. When the move Taunt is used, the target can only use attacking moves for 3 turns. This Taunt prevents Indeedee-F from setting up its Trick Room and doing its job as a supportive Pokemon. To prevent this, you can run the Mental Herb (an item that protects you from the effects of Taunt, affactuation, or Encore ONCE) item on your Indeedee-F if you wish to do so. The Mental Herb will disappear after it has been used, so that is something to keep in mind. You could also reposition your Pokemon to gain a better footing if you choose not to run the Mental Herb item on your Indeedee-F. (just mention that indeedee will probably have to switch out after getting Taunted)


Strategy Comments

- Main Role: Indeedee-F is meant as a Support Pokemon. It is meant to take the hits that its ally would take with Follow me, Me provide speed control with Trick Room, provide the all-important chip damage with Psychic / Dazzling Gleam, and activate the Psyspam Strategy, a strategy in which Expanding Force is spammed to no end until all of your opponent's Pokemon have all Fainted. help partners spam Expanding Force.

- Playstyle: Indeedee-F is best used in the early game. As a lead, it is really good to get a head start at initializing your strategy. Sneasler / Indeedee-F, Ursaluna-Bloodmoon / Indeedee-F, and Ursaluna / Indeedee-F are all common leads for utilizing Indeedee-F.

- Counters & Checks: Kingambit eats Indeedee-F for breakfast. Even if Indeedee-F Teras into its Fairy Tera type, Kingambit will still do unholy amounts of damage to Indeedee-F. Therefore, a Fighting-type Pokemon should be used to deal super effective damage to Kingambit, and take not very effective damage resisted damage from Kingambit's Dark-type attacks. Sneasler is the best option. It can use Taunt to prevent Kingambit from setting up with Swords Dance and from using the move Protect, and it can almost always guarantee a OHKO onto Kingambit with its STAB move of choice, Close Combat.

[SET COMMENTS]

- Indeedee-F is one of two of the de facto Psychic Terrain setters. The Psychic Terrain that it sets up supports its teammates by protecting them from opposing priority like Sucker Punch and Fake Out. It also redirects attacks with Follow Me and sets up Trick Room. Move this to the start of the bullet point since Indeedee-F is used primarily for redirection and Trick Room setting rather than Psychic Terrain

- Follow Me provides redirection so that an allied Pokemon can safely set up Tailwind or Trick Room and set-up with moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, or Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Mention Helping Hand and include a line about why Imprison is sometimes used instead to flow into your point about Imprison Imprison prevents Trick Room from being set up by foes and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Dazzling Gleam is weaker, it cannot be redirected since it is a spread move, and it can hit Dark-type Pokemon Mention an example of a Dark-type for super effective damage The most common Dark-types aren't weak to Dazzling Gleam, and it is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold the Focus Sash item, whereas Psychic is a powerful attack boosted by both STAB and the Psychic Terrain it sets up. I discussed this with another QC member and you can add back your point about Psychic being redirected. Also switch the order of the Psychic and Dazzling Gleam mentions to match your move set order

- Safety Goggles provide immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder while allowing Indeedee-F to use Follow Me to redirect Spores, Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity, Psychic Seed increases the Special Defense of Indeedee-F Mention something that the Special Defense boost allows Indeedee-F to survive or take better, and Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with contact attacking moves or have said attacks redirected. Rocky Helmet also has the ability to break Focus Sashes and punish threaten any Pokemon that use multi-hit moves, such as Maushold and its Population Bomb. Change the order of these mentions to match the new item order Safety Goggles > Psychic Seed > Rocky Helmet > Sitrus Berry

- Indeedee-F appreciates a defensive Tera Type. Therefore, Fairy is the best Tera Type for this Pokemon. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch, Archaludon's Body Press, Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop, and immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, Too many mentions, if you prefer to keep Garchomp you can but swap it with a different mention, imo Garchomp uses Dragon-type attacks the least and Dragapult. As a little bonus, it offers a STAB boost to Dazzling Gleam, if it was your attacking move of choice. Tera Grass provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and redirection. If you choose to use Safety Goggles as your item for Indeedee-F, I do not recommend also using Tera Grass. Mention Tera Grass resisting Grass- and Water-type attacks since Indeedee-F's common partners are generally weak to them


[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding

- Indeedee-F works best in hard Trick Room teams, setting up the Psychic Terrain to prevent Fake Out from disturbing your Trick Room set-up and prevent priority attacks threatening its partners, and using Follow Me to almost always guarantee your partner to set up Trick Room. It also pairs well with Trick Room sweepers. Combine these sentences and move this to the start of the bullet point

- Sneasler pairs nicely with Indeedee-F, because Sneasler can hold the Psychic Seed, activating its Unburden ability. Move Sneasler to the end of the bullet point, Indeedee-F has more usage on Trick Room teams Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B are common partners for Indeedee-F. Trick Room can help with the speed control both Ursalunas need and Follow Me can protect them from non-spread moves. Other Trick Room sweepers, such as Hatterene and Torkoal, are the best Trick Room partners for Indeedee-F. The Ursalunas, Hatterene and Torkoal all appreciate the same support from Indeedee-F, focus on what each of these sweepers uniquely provide for example Torkoal threatens Grass-types like Rillaboom Gallade can attack any threaten Dark-type Pokemon with Sacred Sword. Mention Gallade provides Wide Guard support too

- Kingambit eats Indeedee-F for breakfast. Even if Indeedee-F Teras into its Fairy Tera type, Kingambit will still do unholy amounts of damage to Indeedee-F. Therefore, a Fighting-type Pokemon like Sneasler should be used to threaten Kingambit. It can sometimes use Taunt to prevent Kingambit from setting up with Swords Dance and from using the move Protect and , it can almost always guarantee a OHKO onto Kingambit with Close Combat. Mention Rillaboom since it can override Psychic Terrain


Strategy Comments

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon. It redirects attacks with Follow Me, provides speed control with Trick Room, provides important chip damage with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam, and helps partners spam Expanding Force.

- Indeedee-F is best used in the early game. As a lead, it is really good to get a head start at initializing your strategy. Sneasler and Indeedee-F, Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Bloodmoon Ursaluna needs to be formatted as Ursaluna-B and Indeedee-F, and Ursaluna and Indeedee-F are all common leads for utilizing Indeedee-F. The Sneasler and Indeedee-F lead doesn't require Trick Room to be utilized and does not require any other set up. The Ursaluna-B and Indeedee-F lead does not have to be in Trick Room ( , depending on the type Speed investement of Ursaluna-Bloodmoon) , Avoid using parentheses and unleashes some of the largest amount of Special damage of the metagame. Ursaluna and Indeedee-F HAS to be in Trick Room and have the Guts boost to be utilized thoroughly. However, this lead provides some of the largest amount of Physical Damage in the Metagame.

- The biggest weakness Indeedee-F has to deal with is the move Taunt. Taunt prevents Indeedee-F from setting up Trick Room and doing its job as a supportive Pokemon. The most reliable way to get rid of Taunt is to switch Indeedee-F out. Mention that Indeedee-F is prone to being double targeted to by attacks to ensure Trick Room is not set up so Indeedee-F relies on its partner to set up Trick Room for the team instead

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon whose who is that mainly role is to (Pokemon can't be referred to with "who" in analyses) redirects attacks with Follow Me and sets up Trick Room. It is one of two of the de facto Psychic Terrain setters. (dex info) The Psychic Terrain that it sets up supports its teammates by protecting them from opposing priority moves like Sucker Punch and Fake Out.

- Follow Me provides redirection so that an allied Pokemon can safely set up Tailwind or Trick Room and or set up with moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, or and Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Helping Hand sacrifices the attack power of the user, helping its ally secure KOs. (dex info) Imprison prevents Trick Room from being set up by foes and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Psychic is a powerful attack boosted by both STAB and the Psychic Terrain it sets up. Unfortunately, Psychic can be redirected because it is not a spread move. (dex info) Dazzling Gleam is weaker than Psychic, it cannot be redirected since it is a spread move, and it can hit Dark-type Pokemon that take super effective damage, like Hydreigon; and it (dex info) is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold the Focus Sash item. (brevity)

- Safety Goggles provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder while allowing Indeedee-F to use Follow Me to redirect Spores. (RSC, AP) Psychic Seed increases the Special Defense of Indeedee-F, (dex info) ensuring ensures that it takes attacks like Ursaluna-B's Blood Moons better. (RSC, AP) and Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with contact-making moves (provide examples of moves from relevant Pokemon) attacking moves or have said attacks redirected to it; Rocky Helmet also has the ability to break Focus Sashes and threaten any Pokemon that use multi-hit moves, such as Maushold and its Population Bomb. (RSC, AP) and Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity. (AP, elaborate on how Sitrus Berry extends Indeedee-F's longevity, i.e. can it avoid KO benchmarks from certain attacks?)
(remove line break)

- Indeedee-F appreciates a defensive Tera Type. (can be implied from the rest of the bullet point) Therefore, Fairy is the best Tera Type type for this Pokemon Indeedee-F. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch, Archaludon's Body Press, and Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop (RC) and an immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Dragapult. As a little bonus, it offers a STAB boost to Dazzling Gleam, if it was your attacking move of choice. (not necessary to state) Tera Grass gives you Indeedee-F a resistance to Grass-type (AH) moves such as Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Water-type (AH) moves such as Basculegion-M's Wave Crash and Pelipper's Rain rain-boosted Weather Ball, (RS) which are its partners' (AA) most common weaknesses. Tera Grass also provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and redirection. Furthermore However, if you choose to use Indeedee-F uses Safety Goggles as your item for Indeedee-F, I do not recommend using Tera Grass is not recommended. (Shortened down sentence for brevity.)

- Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B are common partners for Indeedee-F.

Other Trick Room sweepers, such as Hatterene and Torkoal, are the best Trick Room partners for Indeedee-F. Hatterene can threaten the opponent's team with heavy Psychic-type damage from Expanding Force, and Torkoal can threaten heavy Fire-type damage with Eruption, Weather Ball, and Heat Wave.

Therefore, a Fighting-type Pokemon like Sneasler should be used to threaten Kingambit, as it can almost always guarantee a OHKO onto Kingambit with Close Combat.

Strategy Comments

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon. It redirects attacks with Follow Me, provides speed control with Trick Room, provides important chip damage with Psychic or Dazzling Gleam, and helps partners spam Expanding Force.

- Indeedee-F is best used in the early-game. (AH) As a lead, it is really good to get a head start at initializing your strategy. Sneasler and Indeedee-F, Ursaluna-B and Indeedee-F, and Ursaluna and Indeedee-F are all common leads for utilizing Pokemon to lead alongside Indeedee-F. (Reworded to reduce repetition of "Indeedee-F".) The Sneasler and + Indeedee-F lead doesn't require Trick Room to be utilized and does not require any other set up setup. The Ursaluna-B and + Indeedee-F lead does not have to be in Trick Room, depending on the Speed investment of Ursaluna-B, and it unleashes some of the largest amount of Special special damage of in the metagame. Ursaluna and Indeedee-F HAS have to be in Trick Room and have the need Ursaluna's Guts boost to be utilized thoroughly. However, this lead provides some of the largest amount of Physical Damage physical damage in the Metagame metagame.

- The biggest weakness Indeedee-F has to deal with is the move Taunt. Taunt prevents Indeedee-F from setting up Trick Room and doing its job as a supportive Pokemon. The most reliable way to get rid of Taunt is to switch Indeedee-F out. Sometimes, Indeedee-F has to rely on its ally to set up the Trick Room instead. Because it is a Trick Room Pokemon, it is vulnerable to being double targeted, which prevents Trick Room from being set up. Fortunately, it has Follow Me, which can redirect non-spread moves into it, allowing your its ally to set up Trick Room.

[SET COMMENTS]

- Indeedee-F is a support Pokemon whose who is that mainly role is to (Pokemon can't be referred to with "who" in analyses) redirects attacks with Follow Me and sets up Trick Room. It is one of two of the de facto Psychic Terrain setters. (dex info) The Psychic Terrain that it sets up supports its teammates by protecting them from opposing priority moves like Sucker Punch and Fake Out.

- Follow Me provides redirection so that an allied Pokemon can safely set up Tailwind or Trick Room and or set up with moves such as Annihilape's Bulk Up, Kingambit's Swords Dance, or and Kommo-o's Clangorous Soul. Helping Hand sacrifices the attack power of the user, helping its ally secure KOs. (dex info) Imprison prevents Trick Room from being set up by foes and shuts down the opponent's Follow Me Pokemon. Psychic is a powerful attack boosted by both STAB and the Psychic Terrain it sets up. Unfortunately, Psychic can be redirected because it is not a spread move. (dex info) Dazzling Gleam is weaker than Psychic, it cannot be redirected since it is a spread move, and it can hit Dark-type Pokemon that take super effective damage, like Hydreigon; and it (dex info) is mainly used to break opposing Pokemon that hold the Focus Sash item. (brevity)

- Safety Goggles provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and Rage Powder while allowing Indeedee-F to use Follow Me to redirect Spores. (RSC, AP) Psychic Seed increases the Special Defense of Indeedee-F, (dex info) ensuring ensures that it takes attacks like Ursaluna-B's Blood Moons better. (RSC, AP) and Rocky Helmet punishes any Pokemon that attack it with contact-making moves (provide examples of moves from relevant Pokemon) attacking moves or have said attacks redirected to it; Rocky Helmet also has the ability to break Focus Sashes and threaten any Pokemon that use multi-hit moves, such as Maushold and its Population Bomb. (RSC, AP) and Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity. (AP, elaborate on how Sitrus Berry extends Indeedee-F's longevity, i.e. can it avoid KO benchmarks from certain attacks?)
(remove line break)

- Indeedee-F appreciates a defensive Tera Type. (can be implied from the rest of the bullet point) Therefore, Fairy is the best Tera Type type for this Pokemon Indeedee-F. It provides resistances to Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch, Archaludon's Body Press, and Sneasler's Close Combat and Throat Chop (RC) and an immunity to Dragon-type moves from Archaludon, Dragonite, Garchomp, and Dragapult. As a little bonus, it offers a STAB boost to Dazzling Gleam, if it was your attacking move of choice. (not necessary to state) Tera Grass gives you Indeedee-F a resistance to Grass-type (AH) moves such as Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Water-type (AH) moves such as Basculegion-M's Wave Crash and Pelipper's Rain rain-boosted Weather Ball, (RS) which are its partners' (AA) most common weaknesses. Tera Grass also provides immunity to Amoonguss's Spore and redirection. Furthermore However, if you choose to use Indeedee-F uses Safety Goggles as your item for Indeedee-F, I do not recommend using Tera Grass is not recommended. (Shortened down sentence for brevity.)

Thank you for Grammar-Prosing this analysis!
 
Skwovetboi I just need you to fix a couple grammar things on the revamped Sitrus Berry sentence and you should be all set.

Rocky Helmet also has the ability to break Focus Sashes and threaten any Pokemon that use multi-hit moves, such as Maushold and its Population Bomb. (AP) Sitrus Berry helps out Indeedee-F's longevity by allowing it to survive moves like +4 Archaludon's Body Press and Pelipper's Weather Ball.
