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.
