[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its great Speed stat, coverage movepool, and ability in Psychic Surge, Indeedee-M solidifies itself as one of the best Choice Scarf users in RU. Indeedee-M can use its great Speed tier to revenge kill many of RU's best offensive threats such as Salazzle, Ninetales, and Boltund. Dazzling Gleam allows Indeedee-M to hit Dark-type switch-ins like Sableye, Silvally-Dark, and Scrafty. Mystical Fire grants it the ability to nail Steel-types such as Steelix, Escavalier, and Silvally-Steel that resist its other moves. Lastly, Trick allows Indeedee-M to cripple special walls such as Snorlax, Aromatisse, and Gastrodon. Alternatively, Psyshock can be used to hit specially defensive threats such as Snorlax and opposing Indeedee-M.

Having an answer to Steel-types is crucial despite Indeedee being able to hit them super effectively. Pokemon like Passimian, Charizard, and Mudsdale make short work of them, the latter also being able to set Stealth Rock to chip away at Indeedee-M's switch-ins. Teammates such as Rillaboom, Slurpuff, Silvally-Dark, and Copperajah appreciate Indeedee-M's ability to threaten Poison- and Fighting-types. Physical wallbreakers such as Bewear and Scrafty can weaken Indeedee-M's checks like Snorlax, Steelix, and Copperajah, making it easier for Indeedee-M to do its job. Finally, teammates that can switch into Knock Off such as Silvally-Dark, Silvally-Fairy, Mudsdale, and Vileplume also work well so that Indeedee-M maintains its Speed tier.

With boosts from Psychic Surge and Choice Specs, Indeedee-M can OHKO or 2HKO most of RU with its STAB moves, in particular OHKOing Ninetales and non-Choice Scarf Rillaboom and 2HKOing Snorlax with Psyshock. Hyper Voice hits bulky Psychic-type Pokemon that don't fear any of Indeedee-M's coverage moves, such as opposing Indeedee-M and Xatu. It can also hit foes behind a Substitute. Mystical Fire, alternatively, nails threats like Copperajah and Mr. Rime that easily switch into both STAB moves. Dazzling Gleam punishes Dark-types such as Sableye, Morpeko, and Scrafty.

Due to Indeedee-M's ability to threaten Poison-types, Fighting- and Fairy-type Pokemon such as Bewear, Passimian, and Silvally-Fairy make for great partners. In return, these Pokemon can threaten Dark-types that can freely switch into Indeedee-M's Psychic-type STAB attacks. The same can be said for teammates such as Steelix, Snorlax, and Silvally-Steel that appreciate Fighting-types being disposed of. Faster threats such as Boltund and Choice Scarf Passimian outspeed and OHKO Indeedee-M, so having a partner that can outspeed them all such as Choice Scarf Passimian or Choice Scarf Rillaboom takes pressure off of Indeedee-M. Indeedee-M pairs well with VoltTurn teammates such as Passimian and Alolan Raichu to give Indeedee-M free switches. Alolan Raichu also serves as a Snorlax lure and is able to take advantage of Psychic Terrain that Indeedee-M sets up.

Thanks to its great Speed stat, coverage movepool, and ability in Psychic Surge, Indeedee solidifies itself as one of the best Choice Scarf users in the RU metagame. Due to this, it's able to outspeed foes that normally outspeed it Indeedee can use its great Speed tier to revenge kill many of RU's best offensive threats, such as Salazzle, Ninetales, Barraskewda, and Boltund. With coverage moves like Dazzling Gleam, it's able to Dazzling Gleam allows Indeedee to hit Dark-type switch-ins like Sableye, Silvally-Dark, and Scrafty. Mystical Fire grants it the ability to nail Steel-types such as Steelix, Escavalier, and Silvally-Steel that wall its other moves. Lastly, Trick allows Indeedee to cripple special walls such as Snorlax, Aromatisse, and Gastrodon. (Add in something about Psyshock being a usable alternative to Trick that allows it to hit specially defensive mons like Snorlax and opposing Indeedee.)

Having an answer to Steel-types is crucial despite Indeedee being able to hit them super effectively. Therefore, teammates like Passimian, Charizard, and Mudsdale make short work of them, the latter being able to set Stealth Rock to chip away at Indeedee's switchins.. Mudsdale, in particular, can provide Stealth Rock support to weaken Indeedee's checks. Teammates such as Rillaboom, Slurpuff, Silvally-Dark, and Copperajah that appreciate Indeedee's ability to threaten Poison- or and Fighting-types gone make for great partners since Indeedee utilizes Psychic Terrain nicely with its Psychic typing to handle those types. Finally, physical wallbreakers such as Bewear and Scrafty can weaken Indeedee's checks like Snorlax, Steelix, and Copperajah also and lessen the workload for it. (There really aren't too many of them, but mention a couple Knock Off switchins. Namely the Silvallies, as well as Mudsdale and Vileplume.)

With the help of its ability boosts from Psychic Surge and Choice Specs, Indeedee can OHKO or 2HKO most of the RU metagame with its STAB moves. Unlike Choice Scarf, Choice Specs Indeedee nabs OHKOs on threats it can't without it wouldn't otherwise be able to get, such as non-Choice Scarf Rillaboom, Ninetales, and a 2HKO on Snorlax with Psyshock. Hyper Voice hits threats that the Psychic-type STAB moves won't bulky Psyshic-type Pokemon that don't fear any of Indeedee's coverage moves, such as opposing Indeedee and Xatu. It can also hit foes behind a Substitute. Mystical Fire, alternatively, nails threats like Copperajah and Mr. Rime which would wall both STAB moves. Dazzling Gleam punishes Dark-types such as Sableye, Morpeko, and Scrafty.

Due to Indeedee's wallbreaking prowess ability to threaten Poison-types, Fighting- and Fairy-type teammates such as Bewear, Passimian, and Aromatisse Silvally-Fairy that appreciate Poison-types gone make good partners since none of them fare well against them. make for great partners. In return, these same Pokemon can threaten Dark-types that can freely switch in to Indeedee's Psychic STAB. The same can be said for teammates such as Steelix, Snorlax, and Silvally-Steel that appreciate Fighting-types disposed of since Indeedee makes easy work of them. (This isn't wrong, just repetitive.) Faster threats such as Choice Scarf Passimian, Barraskewda, and Boltund outspeed and OHKO Indeedee, so having a partner that can outspeed them all such as the aforementioned Choice Scarf Passimian, or Choice Scarf Rillaboom, or Choice Scarf Sawk (irrelevant) puts less pressure on Indeedee. Since Indeedee will want to use its STAB Psychic-type moves most of the time, having a teammate to offensively pressure and beat Dark-types such as Silvally-Fairy, Slurpuff, and Hitmonlee help it out greatly. Hitmonlee, in particular, can also nail Steel-types that also wall Psychic-type moves. (Shortening this and moving it to earlier in the paragraph.)

There's a lot to do here, but overall, it looks good. Well done cutting down on the more verbose writing, even if it's still prevalent, it isn't anywhere near as glaring as it used to be. Keep refining your work, it's coming along quite well. Tag me for a second check and I'll look over it later tonight. Keep up the good work :)

Thanks to its great Speed stat, coverage movepool, and ability in Psychic Surge, Indeedee-M solidifies itself as one of the best Choice Scarf users in the RU metagame. Indeedee-M can use its great Speed tier to revenge kill many or of RU's best offensive threats such as Salazzle, Ninetales, and Boltund. Dazzling Gleam allows Indeedee-M to hit Dark-type switch-ins like Sableye, Silvally-Dark, and Scrafty. Mystical Fire grants it the ability to nail Steel-types such as Steelix, Escavalier, and Silvally-Steel that wall resist (when I think of using "wall" as a verb, it has to do with your interaction with another Pokemon, not its moves) its other moves. Lastly, Trick allows Indeedee-M to cripple special walls such as Snorlax, Aromatisse, and Gastrodon. Alternatively, Psyshock can be used over Trick to hit specially defensive threats such as Snorlax and opposing Indeedee-M (I'm assuming you're only talking about the male forme here).

Having an answer to Steel-types is crucial despite Indeedee being able to hit them super effectively. Therefore, teammates Pokemon like Passimian, Charizard, and Mudsdale make short work of them, the latter also being able to set Stealth Rock to chip away at Indeedee-M's switch-ins(AH). Teammates such as Rillaboom, Slurpuff, Silvally-Dark, and Copperajah that appreciate Indeedee-M's ability to threaten Poison- and Fighting-types make for great partners.(keep this period) Finally, physical Physical wallbreakers such as Bewear and Scrafty can weaken Indeedee-M's checks like Snorlax, Steelix, and Copperajah also and lessen the workload for it,(AC) making it easier for Indeedee-M to do its job (idk, the original wording was very awkward and I think this alternative phrasing makes the relationship clearer). Teammates Finally, teammates that can absorb switch into (not 100% if "absorb Knock Off" is accepted vernacular) Knock Off hits such as Silvally-Dark, Silvally-Fairy, Mudsdale, and Vileplume also work well as partners so that Indeedee maintains its Speed tier.(wouldn't the main reason you want to avoid Knock Off be to avoid death? looking at the VR it seems most of the Knock Off users would absolutely push Indeedee-M's shit in)

Dazzling Gleam punishes Dark-types such as Sableye, Morpeko, and Scrafty.

Due to Indeedee-M's ability to threaten Poison-types, Fighting- and Fairy-type teammates Pokemon ("teammates make for great partners" is a bit redundant) such as Bewear, Passimian, and Silvally-Fairy make for great partners.

The same can be said for teammates such as Steelix, Snorlax, and Silvally-Steel that appreciate Fighting-types being disposed of. Faster threats such as Choice Scarf Passimian and Boltund and Choice Scarf Passimian (unless you mean to attribute Choice Scarf to both list components) outspeed and OHKO Indeedee-M, so having a partner that can outspeed them all such as the aforementioned Choice Scarf Passimian or Choice Scarf Rillaboom puts less pressure on takes pressure off of (meh, probably not needed but conveys the benefits of these teammates more effectively?) Indeedee-M. Indeedee-M pairs well with VoltTurn teammates such as the aforementioned Passimian and Alolan Raichu to give Indeedee-M free switch-ins switches. Alolan Raichu also serves as a Snorlax lure and is able to take advantage of Psychic Terrain that Indeedee-M sets up.
