[SET COMMENTS]
Indeedee is an excellent option on Psychic teams due to it's ability Psychic Surge, immunity to Ghost-type moves, and useful support arsenal in Encore and Healing Wish. Expanding Force in conjunction with Psychic Surge makes up for Indeedee's mediocre Special Attack stat, notably OHKOing Dragapult, Ogerpon-formes, and Mamoswine after minor chip. Dazzling Gleam allows Indeedee to hit Dark-types such as Roaring Moon, Hydreigon, and Scrafty attempting to switch into Expanding Force. Encore is a great utility option which can deter setup sweepers Indeedee can't OHKO like Spectrier, Focus Sash Ceruledge, and Primarina, granting teammates opportunities to get swapped in and get set up themselves. Healing Wish can give vital teammates such as Hoopa-U and Latios a second chance, while also preserving momentum to keep Psychic Terrain ongoing. Terrain Extender is crucial to prolong Psychic Terrain, as it prevents dangerous priority moves from Ceruledge, Bisharp, and Hisuian Samurott from being used.
Hatterene is an impeccable teammate due to its ability Magic Bounce and Fairy-typing, allowing it to comfortably bounce back entry hazards from Ting-Lu and while also offensively threatening Hydreigon, Roaring Moon, and Assault Vest Gallade. In return, Hatterene appreciates Indeedee's ability to take on Spectrier and Hisuian Zoroark as well as Psychic Terrain to boost Hatterene's Psyshock. Hoopa-U and Indeedee together are capable of terrorizing the Ghost matchup, with Choice Scarf Hoopa-U threatening Flutter Mane, bulky Gholdengo, and Choice Specs Dragapult while Indeedee prevents Ceruledge from using Shadow Sneak, boosting Hoopa-U's Psychic-type coverage to better combat Pecharunt, and further threatening Ghost with Expanding Force. Indeedee is Deoxys-S' biggest benefactor, enabling it's own Expanding Force, disabling Bisharp's Sucker Punch which Deoxys-S removes via Superpower, and providing a switch-in against Choice Scarf Flutter Mane and Dragapult's Shadow Ball. Deoxys-S provides an excellent utility role, setting up Stealth Rock and Spikes as well as Light Screen and Reflect, while also removing Dark-types such as the aforementioned Bisharp. Choice Scarf Iron Boulder is a great teammate to have in the Dark matchup, threatening Meowscarada, Greninja, and Darkrai with Close Combat, while also removing Fire-types such as Cinderace, Volcarona, and Hisuian Arcanine. Latios greatly aids in the Ground, Flying, and Dragon matchups, removing threats like Landorus, Dragonite, and Archaludon, whilst providing a Ground-type immunity with Levitate. Slowbro can serve as a check to Hisuian Samurott and Bisharp using a combination of Colbur Berry and Body Press, whilst also providing status support by burning threats like Excadrill with Scald and paralyzing fast Dark-type foes such as Roaring Moon, Greninja, and Meowscarada via Thunder Wave. Jirachi sets up Stealth Rock and is neutral to Bug-type moves like U-turn from Scizor, retaliating with Fire Punch while also offering Wish support to keep Indeedee alive longer, prolonging Psychic Terrain for the team. Jirachi heavily appreciates Indeedee threatening Mamoswine and Great Tusk as well as cleric support from Healing Wish as being burned is detrimental for Jirachi.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
(Psychic)
--------
Terrain Setter Indeedee may use Shadow Ball over Encore to threaten Gholdengo as well as opposing Psychic-types, however the coverage is minimally useful. Aditionally, Indeedee can opt for Trick Room to enable slow and powerful teammates such as Hatterene, Choice Band Hoopa-U, and Metagross to remove otherwise faster threats such as Meowscarada, Dragapult, and Flutter Mane, however, Trick Room is heavily unreliable as a win condition and requires very specific battle conditions for it to succeed. Furthermore, Encore and even Shadow Ball have significantly more value in typical circumstances and should rarely be dropped for Trick Room unless the team is specifically designed for it's usage.
