  • Indeedee-F carves itself out a spot in the metagame as one of the only currently legal Pokemon with possession of Psychic Surge. With this, it is able to amplify the power of Pokemon using Expanding Force to extreme heights. Indeedee-F is also a generally great support option with access to redirection and speed control in Follow Me and Trick Room, respectively.
  • To assist in its supportive capabilities, Indeedee-F can use Sitrus Berry to heal up, which lets it avoid 2HKOs from Sandsear Storm from Landorus, Ivy Cudgel from any Ogerpon forme, and Tera Normal Life Orb Ursaluna-B. Alternatively, Indeedee-F can use Safety Goggles to redirect Spore from Amoonguss, or it can use Psychic Seed to boost its survivability by allowing it to withstand powerful attacks such as Tera Normal Life Orb Blood Moon from Ursaluna-B.
  • Trick Room gives Indeedee-F access to a crucial form of speed control, allowing allies like Hoopa-U and Ursaluna to move before their foes. Helping Hand helps boost the power of the aforementioned allies; Protect can be run over either option to help with positioning and defensive play.
  • Psychic OHKOes Assault Vest Okidogi and 2HKOes non-Assault Vest Iron Hands thanks to the Psychic Terrain boost. Dazzling Gleam, on the other hand, can be used to deal chip damage across the field, breaking Focus Sash on Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu.
  • The given EV spread, with Psychic Seed, lets Indeedee-F avoid a 2HKO from Earth Power from Landorus, with the rest going into Defense.
  • Indeedee-F uses Tera Fairy to avoid getting KOed by powerful Dark-type attacks like Kowtow Cleave from Kingambit and Knock Off from Roaring Moon. Tera Fairy additionally gives Indeedee-F a useful resistance to Fighting-type attacks like Drain Punch from Iron Hands and Bug-type attacks like U-turn from Rillaboom all the while providing an immunity to Dragon-type attacks like Dragon Energy from Regidrago. Additionally, Tera Fairy allows Indeedee-F to completely wall most Calm Mind Raging Bolt sets, using Follow Me to redirect Dragon Pulse and shutting down Thunderclap with both Follow Me and Psychic Terrain.
  • Indeedee-F is typically used on fast-paced teams consisting of Expanding Force users such as Hoopa-U and Hatterene, both of which appreciate its ability to set Trick Room and use Follow Me to let them set Trick Room and punch holes in the opposing team. Alternatively, Indeedee-F can be paired with Iron Crown, using Follow Me to protect it as Iron Crown launches Expanding Force or sets up with Calm Mind.
  • Because of Indeedee-F's crippling Dark weakness, allies like Diancie and Iron Hands are greatly appreciated, as they can remove opposing Dark-types with Body Press and Drain Punch, respectively. These allies can also switch in on Dark-type attacks, allowing Indeedee-F to reset Terrain if it runs out, is removed by Ice Spinner from Chien-Pao, or is overridden by Rillaboom's Grassy Surge.
  • Torkoal and Iron Crown are great partners for Indeedee-F, as they can threaten Rillaboom, which overrides Indeedee-F's Terrain with its own, and Chien-Pao, which threatens to remove Psychic Terrain with Ice Spinner, respectively. Chien-Pao also threatens huge damage into Indeedee-F with Throat Chop.
  • Ogerpon-H is also a great partner, effectively removing Steel-types like Gholdengo and Kingambit to allow allies like Iron Crown and Regidrago to sweep more easily.

Very good stuff, just a few small comments really

Indeedee-F carves itself a spot in the meta, being one of the only currently legal Pokemon having possession of Psychic Surge. Indeedee-F is also a great supportive option with access to redirection and speed control in Follow Me and Trick Room, respectively.
I think it's fair to say we very rarely see indeedee without an eforce partner. So it might be good to sell the reader early, on psychic surge enabling eforce since that's the key factors driving its usage. Could honestly be as simple as "[...] having possession of Psychic Surge, enabling a partner's Expanding Force to become a devestatingly powerful spread move." I trust you can think of a good way to include that mention.

The given EV spread, with Psychic Seed, survives Earth Power from Landorus and has a 75% chance to survive Heat Crash from +1 Gouging Fire.
I assume you meant that it survives the 2hko from Lando EP
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. +1 252 HP / 20 SpD Indeedee-F: 142-169 (41.2 - 49.1%)

and for the physical example, I think when you did the calc, it added atk boost protosynthesis because of the +1, instead of being speed booster. There doesn't need to be a relevant benchmark here though, we can just say we're maximizing its physical defensive capabilities.
+1 168 Atk Gouging Fire Heat Crash (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Indeedee-F: 237-280 (68.8 - 81.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Because of Indeedee-F's grueling Dark-type weakness, allies like Diancie and Iron Hands are greatly appreciated, as they can remove opposing Dark-types with Body Press and Drain Punch, respectively.
Here you could also include that their bulk and typing allow them to comfortably switch in on the dark type attacks, allowing indeedee to be preserved to reset terrain later. I think that flows nicely into the following point about beating rilla/pao as another factor in keeping terrain active.
 
Sorry, the tag notif was lost amongst a flood likes so I didn't notice until now.
It looks great though, happy to give this the qc1/2

Indeedee-F is also a generally great supportive option with access to redirection and speed control in Follow Me and Trick Room, respectively.
  • To assist in its supportive capabilities, Indeedee-F can use items like Sitrus Berry to heal up, I would mention here how Sitrus berry allows indeedee to always live 2 sandsear storms from landorus, 2 Ivy cudgels from non teraed ogerpon formes, as well as 2 hyper voices from life orb tera normal ursa-BM, as all are relevant to it's use. Safety Goggles to redirect Spore from Amoonguss, or Psychic Seed to boost its survivability, allowing it to survive powerful attacks such as Tera Normal Life Orb Blood Moon from Ursaluna-B.
  • Trick Room gives Indeedee-F access to a crucial form of speed control, allowing allies like Hoopa-U and Ursaluna to move before their foes. Helping Hand helps boost the power of the aforementioned allies; Protect can be ran over either to help with positioning and defensive play.
  • Psychic is Indeedee-F's standard choice of offense, OHKOing Assault Vest Okidogi and 2HKOing non-Assault Vest Iron Hands thanks to the Psychic Terrain boost. Dazzling Gleam, on the other hand, can be used to deal chip damage across the board, breaking Focus Sash on Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu.
  • The given EV spread, with Psychic Seed, avoids a 2HKO from Earth Power from Landorus, with the rest going into Defense. You could also mention the sitrus berry calcs here, up to you.
  • Indeedee-F uses Tera Fairy to avoid getting KOd by powerful Dark-type attacks like Kowtow Kleave from Kingambit and Knock Off from Roaring Moon. Tera Fairy additionally gives Indeedee-F a useful resistance to Fighting-type attacks like Drain Punch from Iron Hands and Bug-type attacks like U-turn from Rillaboom, all the while providing an immunity to Dragon-type attacks like Dragon Energy from Regidrago. Shutting down Raging Bolt is also worth a mention here because with follow me, tera fairy, and psychic terrain bolt can become completely unable to attack with the combo of its main stabs (tclap, dragon pulse).
  • Indeedee-F is typically used on fast-paced teams consisting of Expanding Force users such as Hoopa-U and Hatterene, both of which appreciate Indeedee-F's ability to set Trick Room or use Follow Me to let them set Trick Room and punch holes in the opposing team. Alternatively, Indeedee-F can be paired with Iron Crown, using Follow Me to protect it as Iron Crown launches Expanding Force or sets up with Calm Mind.
  • Because of Indeedee-F's grueling Dark-type weakness, allies like Diancie and Iron Hands are greatly appreciated, as they can remove opposing Dark-types with Body Press and Drain Punch, respectively. These allies can also switch in on Dark-type attacks, allowing Indeedee-F to reset terrain if it runs out, is removed by Ice Spinner from Chien-Pao, or is overridden by Rillaboom.
  • Partners like Torkoal and Iron Crown are great allies for Indeedee-F, as they can threaten Rillaboom, who overrides Indeedee-F's terrain with its own, and Chien-Pao, who threatens to remove Psychic Terrain with Ice Spinner, respectively.
  • I believe Ogerpon-H should get its own point here, as it's commonly run on psyspam teams to deal with Gholdengo which is a general annoyance for these structures.

Indeedee-F carves itself out a spot in the meta (RC) being as one of the only currently legal Pokemon having with possession of Psychic Surge. With this, it is able to amplify the power of Pokemon using Expanding Force to extreme heights. Indeedee-F is also a generally great supportive support option with access to redirection and speed control in Follow Me and Trick Room, respectively.
To assist in its supportive capabilities, Indeedee-F can use items like Sitrus Berry to heal up, which lets it avoid 2HKOs from Landorus using Sandsear Storm, Ovy Ivy Cudgel from any Ogerpon forme, and Tera Normal Life Orb Ursaluna-B. Alternatively, Indeedee-F can use Safety Goggles to redirect Spore from Amoonguss or Psychic Seed to boost its survivability (RC) by allowing it to survive withstand repetition powerful attacks such as Tera Normal Life Orb Blood Moon from Ursaluna-B. the way the clause is structured currently suggests that both Safety Goggles and Psychic Seed allow it to better survive Ursaluna-B
Trick Room gives Indeedee-F access to a crucial form of speed control, allowing allies like Hoopa-U and Ursaluna to move before their foes. Helping Hand helps boost the power of the aforementioned allies; Protect can be ran over either to help with positioning and defensive play.
Psychic is Indeedee-F's standard choice of offense attacking move, OHKOing Assault Vest Okidogi and 2HKOing non-Assault Vest Iron Hands thanks to the Psychic Terrain boost. Dazzling Gleam, on the other hand, can be used to deal chip damage across the board field, breaking Focus Sash on Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu.

Alternatively, Indeedee-F can be paired with Iron Crown, using Follow Me to protect it as Iron Crown launches Expanding Force or sets up with Calm Mind.
Because of Indeedee-F's grueling Dark-type crippling Dark weakness, this is just one possible alternative, but the word "grueling" doesn't make sense in that context, a synonym for that would be something like "tiring" allies like Diancie and Iron Hands are greatly appreciated, as they can remove opposing Dark-types with Body Press and Drain Punch, respectively. These allies can also switch in on Dark-type attacks, allowing Indeedee-F to reset Terrain if it runs out, is removed by Ice Spinner from Chien-Pao, or is overridden by Rillaboom Rillaboom's Grassy Surge.
