Glass Cannon (Indeedee) (M) @ Focus Sash / Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Psychic / Fighting
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Trick Room / Tera Blast
- Protect / Imprison / Trick
- Helping Hand / Tera Blast / Dazzling Gleam

[SET COMMENTS]
- Indeedee-M is a fast Psychic Terrain setter that can both boost its partner's Psychic-type damage and use its Psychic Terrain for itself.
- Expanding Force is Indeedee-M's main method of dealing damage, while the combination of Trick Room and Imprison lets it both set Trick Room against faster teams and deny it against opposing Trick Room. Choice Scarf sets opt for Dazzling Gleam as a spread damage attack to hit Dark-type Pokemon, Trick to potentially cripple Trick Room setters like Porygon2, and Tera Blast as an option for a Normal-type STAB attack. Protect can be used on Focus Sash sets for increased flexibility.
- Focus Sash lets Indeedee-M survive at least one strong attack, letting it invest fully in Special Attack and Speed, while Choice Scarf lets it outspeed Pokemon like Sneasler and Dragapult.
- Tera Psychic guarantees Expanding Force OHKOes Amoonguss, while Tera Blast Fighting lets Indeedee-M threaten Dark-types that otherwise wall it.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding
============
- Indeedee-M pairs well with speed control or redirection that allow it to use Expanding Force without being KOed.
- Priority Tailwind setters like Talonflame pair well with Indeedee-M, as they let it move first while also supporting the offensive teammates like Ursaluna-B that can weaken teams before Indeedee-M cleans up. Electabuzz provides speed control with Electro Web and redirects attacks with Follow Me.
- Gholdengo completely walls Indeedee-M. Partners like Throat Chop Sneasler and Ursaluna-B can help with this, threatening Gholdengo and forcing it to Terastallize out of its resistance to Expanding Force.


Strategy Comments
============
- Indeedee-M is primarily a cleaner with Expanding Force. It is at its best when the foes are weakened and in range of Expanding Force.
- Since it wants to clean up, Indeedee-M thrives late-game once a partner like Ursaluna-B has dealt large amounts of damage.
- Indeedee-M struggles with Psychic-resistant foes specially bulky foes, or some combination of these like Incineroar, Kingambit, or Archaludon. Partners like the Ursaluna formes can help with the Steel- and Dark-types that resist Expanding Force, directly threatening Steel-types and taking advantage of the fact that most Dark-types are weak to Ground like Kingambit and Incineroar. Sneasler can threaten specially defensive foes like Assault Vest Kingambit and Archaludon with Close Combat or Dire Claw if they Terastallize, letting Indeedee-M finish them off late-game. Rillaboom is another threat, overriding Psychic Terrain and threatening Indeedee-M with Wood Hammer. Sneasler helps with this, pressuring Rillaboom with Dire Claw.

Glass Cannon (Indeedee) (M) @ Focus Sash / Choice Scarf (has has substantial usage, add if you'd like)
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Psychic / Fighting
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Trick Room
- Imprison
- Helping Hand / Tera Blast (both Trick and Dazzling Gleam have seen decent amounts of usage, if you'd like to add them somewhere go for it [specifically on scarf])

[SET COMMENTS]
- Indeedee is a fast Psychic Terrain setter that can both boost partners Expanding Force damage and use it for itself.
- Expanding Force is Indeedee's main method of dealing damage while the combination of Trick Room and Imprison lets it both set Trick Room against faster teams and deny it against slower foes opposing Trick Room (makes it sound like your saying all slower foes have TR). Helping Hand boosts a partner's (which partners?) damage. (AP)
- Focus Sash gives Indeedee a way around its poor natural bulk, letting it invest fully in Special Attack and Speed.
- Tera Psychic boosts Expanding Force's damage, guaranteeing the OHKO on Amoonguss while Tera Fighting when paired with Tera Blast lets Indeedee threaten Kingambit and Incineroar (you could just say Dark-types), two Pokemon that wall it without.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding
============
- Indeedee pairs well with speed control or redirection that allow it to use Expanding Force without being KO'd.
- Priority Tailwind setters like Talonflame and Whimsicott pair well with Indeedee as they let it move first while also supporting the offensive teammates like Ursaluna-B that can weaken opposing teams before Indeedee cleans up.
- Gholdengo completely walls Indeedee. Partners like Throat Chop Sneasler and Ursaluna-B can help into this, threatening Gholdengo and forcing it to Terastallize out of its resistance to Expanding Force.


Strategy Comments
============
- Indeedee is primarily a cleaner with Expanding Force. It is best when the opposing Pokemon are weakened and in range of a Expanding Force.
- Since it wants to cleanup, Indeedee thrives in the endgame once a partner like Ursaluna-B has dealt large amounts of damage. Sometimes Indeedee doesn't work well in a matchup which is fine because teams shouldn't be built around it, for it fits well on already good structures.
- Indeedee struggles with Pokemon that resist Expanding Force or are specially bulky, or some combination of these (examples?). Partners like the Ursaluna formes can help with the Steel- and Dark-types that resist Expanding Force, directly threatening Steel-types and taking advantage of the fact that most Dark-types are weak to Ground like Kingambit or Incineroar. (anything to beat specially defensive pokemon?)

Good work! You may mark as QC 1/2 after implementing.

Glass Cannon (Indeedee) (M) @ Focus Sash / Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Psychic / Fighting / Fairy Up to you to include this but Tera Fairy had a fair amount of usage at Sacramento and equal amount of usage to Tera Fighting at Stuttgart
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Trick Room / Tera Blast
- Imprison / Trick Protect / Imprison / Trick Protect has higher usage than Imprison at Sacramento and Stuttgart
- Helping Hand / Tera Blast / Dazzling Gleam

[SET COMMENTS]
- Indeedee-M Do this for all instances is a fast Psychic Terrain setter that can both boost partners Expanding Force damage and use it for itself. Imo it's better to mention Psychic type attack damage rather than solely Expanding Force e.g. Gallade likes Psychic Terrain boosting its Psycho Cut damage
- Expanding Force is Indeedee's main method of dealing damage while the combination of Trick Room and Imprison lets it both set Trick Room against faster teams and deny it against opposing Trick Room. Helping Hand boosts a partner's damage. Choice Scarf sets opt for Dazzling Gleam as a way spread damage attack to hit Dark-type Pokemon lategame This is irrelevant, Trick to potentially cripple Trick Room setters like Porygon2, and Tera Blast with either Tera type as an option for Normal-type STAB.
- Focus Sash gives Indeedee a way around its poor natural bulk This sounds kinda weird imo, keep it simple and say it guarantees Indeedee-M lives at least one powerful attack, letting it invest fully in Special Attack and Speed while Choice Scarf lets it outspeed Pokemon like Sneasler and Dragapult.
- Tera Psychic boosts Expanding Force's damage, guaranteeing the OHKO on Amoonguss while Tera Fighting when paired with Tera Blast lets Indeedee threaten Dark-types that wall it without. Mention Tera Fairy if you decide to include it

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]

Teambuilding
============
- Indeedee pairs well with speed control or redirection that allow it to use Expanding Force without being KO'd.
- Priority Tailwind setters like Talonflame and Whimsicott Whimsicott usage fell off drastically pair well with Indeedee as they let it move first while also supporting the offensive teammates like Ursaluna-B that can weaken opposing teams before Indeedee cleans up. Mention redirection too, Electabuzz has higher usage than Talonflame
- Gholdengo completely walls Indeedee. Partners like Throat Chop Sneasler and Ursaluna-B can help into this, threatening Gholdengo and forcing it to Terastallize out of its resistance to Expanding Force.

Sometimes Indeedee doesn't work well in a matchup which is fine because teams shouldn't be built around it, for it fits well on already good structures. Clarify exactly when one would want to use Indeedee-M on the team and move this to the teambuilding section cause this sentence feels more applicable there imo
- Indeedee struggles with Pokemon that resist Expanding Force or are specially bulky, or some combination of these like Incineroar, Kingambit, or Archaludon. Partners like the Ursaluna formes can help with the Steel- and Dark-types that resist Expanding Force, directly threatening Steel-types and taking advantage of the fact that most Dark-types are weak to Ground like Kingambit or Incineroar. Sneasler can threaten specially defensive foes like Assault Vest Kingambit or Archaludon with Close Combat or Dire Claw if they Terastallize, letting Indeedee finish them off in an endgame. Mention Rillaboom overriding Psychic Terrain as a threat
