[OVERVIEW]
* Indeedee-F is an exceptional support Pokemon, mainly being used for redirection with Follow Me and allowing the Trick Room teams it excels on to set up Trick Room safely. Psychic Surge allows partners such as Hatterene to sweep under Trick Room with Expanding Force. A niche use of Indeedee-F is as an Imprison + Trick Room user on hyper offense offensive teams that who have a bad matchup into Trick Room teams.
* Iron Crown is a popular partner for Indeedee-F, as it's in Regulation F. It is a strong special attacker with Expanding Force that appreciates Indeedee-F's redirection and damage boosting with Helping Hand.
* Other common partners for Indeedee-F include Armarouge, Hatterene, and Torkoal. The former benefit from Psychic Terrain by getting a boost to their STAB, Expanding Force, and Torkoal can go for Eruptions without fear of priority thanks to Psychic Terrain. Some other notable Trick Room partners are both Ursaluna formes.
* Pokemon that are able to remove Psychic Terrain, such as Chien-Pao and Rillaboom, also serve as good checks to Indeedee-F. Rillaboom sets up Grassy Terrain and Chien-Pao can remove Psychic Terrain with Ice Spinner, nullifying the Psychic-type spam strategy.
* Indeedee-F's best counters are Dark- and Steel-types, namely Incineroar, Kingambit, Archaludon, and Gholdengo, as they resist Psychic and Fairy and can take advantage of Indeedee-F's passivity.

* Dazzling Gleam and Psychic are Indeedee-Fs primary damaging moves. Psychic is Indeedee-F's best STAB move, but Dazzling Gleam can be used, since its partners have Psychic-type coverage and it also hits Dark-types. is also used as many of Indeedee-F's partners have Psychic coverage and Dazzling gleam hits Dark-types .
* Follow Me negates damage for partners and redirects status moves, being particularly valuable on Trick Room teams to ensure Trick Room goes up smoothly.
* Many offensive teams will utilize Helping Hand and Protect or Trick Room and Imprison as an answer to opposing Trick Room teams.
* Trick Room teams will opt for Trick Room and Helping Hand to give the Trick Room sweepers a damage boost. Protect can also be used on Trick Room teams over Helping Hand to preserve Indeedee-F and help reset Trick Room.
* Rocky Helmet is used to damage contact-making physical attackers. For example, (ac) Ice Spinner Chien-Pao would get rid of Psychic Terrain but would also have its Focus Sash broken, becoming vulnerable to Indeedee-F's partners.
