- 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.
