Indeedee-F is a great wallbreaker in NU thanks to its coverage moves and raw power that's further boosted by Choice Specs and Psychic Terrain. The lack of good Psychic-type checks also benefits Indeedee-F, since it can hit Dark-types like Silvally-Dark with Hyper Voice and special walls like Clefairy with Psyshock. Aside from Dark-types, Hyper Voice is also Indeedee-F's best move to hit Galarian Stunfisk with. Mystical Fire lets Indeedee-F nail Steel-types like Ferroseed, Klinklang, and Togedemaru.
Indeedee-F is going to want to use Psychic or Psyshock mostly. Therefore, having a Fighting-type teammate like Choice Scarf Sawk or Toxicroak to handle Steel- and Dark-types is appreciated. Rocky Helmet Sandaconda is a great partner, since it can provide Stealth Rock support to wear down foes, can deal with Galarian Stunfisk, which is one of Indeedee-F's toughest checks, has access to Glare to cripple faster foes like Gourgeist-S, and punishes the use of U-turn. Having a teammate like Togedemaru or Clefairy to bring Indeedee-F in with a pivot move to deal heavy damage helps circumvent its poor bulk. Late-game cleaners such as Swords Dance Rapidash, Choice Scarf Togedemaru, and Cofagrigus appreciate Indeedee-F's breaking power to severely chip their common checks like Skuntank, Galarian Stunfisk, and Silvally-Dark.

Thanks to its Speed tier, ability in Psychic Surge, coverage moves, and access to two decent utility moves, Indeedee-F is a nice Choice Scarf user in NU. As a revenge killer, Indeedee-F is able to handle threats that are difficult to beat defensively such as non-Choice Scarf Toxicroak. Its STAB moves in Psychic and Psyshock let it choose what it wants to hit based on whether the foe is physically defensive or specially defensive, respectively. Mystical Fire lets Indeedee-F nab Steel-types like Togedemaru, Klinklang, and Ferroseed, which wall its STAB moves. Healing Wish lets it completely recover a crippled teammate to give it a second chance in battle. Alternatively, Trick cripples slow Pokemon and special walls like Clefairy, Galarian Stunfisk, and Wishiwashi.
Setup sweepers like Silvally-Dark, Swords Dance Toxicroak, and Silvally-Fire make for great teammates, since they deal with checks to Indeedee-F like Malamar and Galarian Stunfisk and benefit from Healing Wish should they become crippled by status or get too worn down from wallbreaking early- and mid-game. Silvally-Dark also has great synergy with Indeedee-F, since Indeedee-F handles Fighting-types, and Silvally-Dark deals with opposing Psychic-types; it also benefits from its Psychic Fangs being boosted by Psychic Terrain. Partners that appreciate Poison-types being gone make great teammates; therefore, Alcremie, Abomasnow, Eldegoss, and Sawk fit well alongside Indeedee-F. In return, Abomasnow can severely weaken the opposing team for Indeedee-F to clean late-game, Eldegoss can spin away entry hazards if need be, and Sawk can wither the opposing team down.
