With its excellent ability in Psychic Surge, decent Speed stat, above average Special Attack boosted by Choice Specs, and great coverage moves, Indeedee is a fantastic wallbreaker available for Normal teams. Psychic enables Indeedee to 2HKO the majority of the metagame at worst, while its three coverage moves should be used sparingly or alongside Dynamax to take out threats that are unharmed by Psychic, such as Ferrothorn, Mandibuzz, and Bronzong. Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire should be spammed against Dark- and Steel-types, respectively. A Modest nature is preferred to net key KOs against Sableye and Hippowdon; however, a Timid nature allows Indeedee to outspeed threats like Adamant Mimikyu and Jolly Excadrill.

As Indeedee can remove bulky Pokemon like Toxapex and Aegislash, late-game sweepers such as Snorlax and Braviary pair well alongside it. Indeedee is also relatively slow and frail; therefore, Ditto's help against faster threats that outspeed and OHKO it is appreciated. Diggersby and Indeedee form a very good wallbreaking core that can break down each other's defensive checks. Since Indeedee's coverage allows it to put in work against almost every type, Pokemon like Obstagoon and Heliolisk are excellent partners to relieve the pressure from it versus Psychic and Ghost or Water and Flying, respectively.

Could mention its Speed stat when talking about it as a wallbreaker but other than that this is good

I would add a sentence explicitly calling out spamming Mystical Fire vs Steel and Dazzling Gleam vs Dark to boost the argument since you wouldn't always spam psychic while only using coverage sparingly. But, the sentence about Psychic is good, so just one complementary sentence after would help.

Looks good otherwise, great job. QC 2/2
