[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.

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.
