[SET COMMENTS]
* Indeedee's Psychic Surge sets up powerful allies like Psychic Seed Sneasler and Expanding Force Iron Crown.
* **Dazzling Gleam**: While generally weak, Dazzling Gleam is the best way to pressure Dark-types like Chien-Pao and Roaring Moon that are immune to Expanding Force.
* **Encore**: Encore helps prevent Indeedee from getting set up on while also creating openings for its teammates.
* **Shadow Ball**: Shadow Ball is almost exclusively for hitting Gholdengo, which can otherwise be troublesome for common Indeedee cores.
* **Healing Wish**: Healing Wish is used less for its healing and more for its ability to pivot teammates in safely though at the cost of Indeedee itself.
* **Terrain Preservation**: Targets such as Ice Spinner Urshifu-R and Grassy Surge Rillaboom can remove Indeedee's terrain. For this reason, it is sometimes better to lead with a teammate that can scout for these threats.
Tera Types
========
* **Tera Dependency - Low**: Common partners like Sneasler tend to be far more Terastallization hungry than Indeedee, so it should be preserved outside of fringe cases.
* **Fairy**: Tera Fairy turns Indeedee's Dark- and Bug-type weaknesses into resistances while giving Dazzling Gleam a nice boost.
* **Psychic**: Tera Psychic is a simple offensive option, pushing Expanding Force's power even farther.
* **Stellar**: Tera Stellar lets Indeedee diversify its offensive profile, such as making it easier to 2HKO semi-bulky Gholdengo with Shadow Ball.
EV Spreads
========
* **252 HP / 76 Def / 180 Spe with Timid**: This bulky EV spread survives Ursaluna-B's Blood Moon and almost always survives Adamant Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash and Adamant Landorus-T's Earthquake. The Speed EVs outspeed Adamant Urshifu formes and Modest Iron Crown.
* **12 HP / 44 Def / 196 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with Timid**: This offensive EV spread avoids the OHKO from defensive Landorus-T's Earthquake. It goes less bulky, however, because it wants to be OHKOed by Jolly Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash; this helps secure the most turns of Psychic Terrain possible for teammates.
