Choice Specs Indeedee-M is a brutally powerful wallbreaker owing to the ludicrous power of Psychic Terrain-boosted Expanding Force. Virtually any Pokemon that doesn't resist the attack will be completely obliterated; on top of that, frailer Steel-types like Skarmory and Doublade will be cleanly 2HKOed, and even some bulky Pokemon like Calm Mind Hatterene and Celebi struggle to handle Indeedee-M's hits, as both are 2HKOed after Stealth Rock. The Psychic Terrain Indeedee-M summons has other benefits as well; it prevents priority revenge killing attempts from slower Pokemon like Bisharp and Lucario, and it also means that Indeedee-M cannot be crippled by Klefki's Thunder Wave. Hyper Voice acts as a strong secondary STAB move for breaking through Pokemon like Krookodile and Obstagoon; Dazzling Gleam can be used instead, as it does more damage to Dark-types, but it's quite weak otherwise and it means that Pokemon like Necrozma can set up on Indeedee-M. It should be noted, however, that it's Indeedee-M's only way to hit Tyranitar, 2HKOing Choice Band variants and 3HKOing specially defensive ones. Mystical Fire gives Indeedee-M coverage for the few Steel-types that can handle its onslaught like Jirachi and Escavalier while Trick allows it to cripple walls like Umbreon that it just can't get past.
Fighting-types like Terrakion, Cobalion, and Mienshao are excellent partners for Indeedee-M; not only can they pummel Dark-types like Tyranitar and Krookodile for it, the latter two can also bring it in safely on Pokemon like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing with their pivoting moves. Choice Scarf Mienshao can even revenge kill Pokemon that use Indeedee-M as a setup opportunity like Dragon Dance Tyranitar and Swords Dance Incineroar. Other pivots that can bring Indeedee-M in safely like Noivern and Heliolisk are very appreciated, as Indeedee-M's mediocre bulk and typing can make it difficult to actually get onto the field. Noivern in particular stands out as a great partner that can switch into Pokemon like Choice Scarf Mienshao and Cobalion that can revenge kill Indeedee-M. Both of these Pokemon are also capable of chipping Tyranitar with their pivoting moves, making it harder for Tyranitar to check Indeedee-M. Dark-types like Incineroar and Krookodile are helpful partners for Indeedee-M; the former can switch into and handle Jirachi for it, while the latter can revenge kill Jirachi, switch into Tyranitar, and set up Stealth Rock to aid Indeedee-M in picking up KOs on Pokemon like Kyurem. Entry hazard support in general from Pokemon like Rhyperior and Palossand is appreciated for this reason, too. Skarmory can provide Spikes support for Indeedee-M to break down Pokemon like Jirachi and Tyranitar, both of which Skarmory can also check for it. Finally, Bug-resistant Pokemon are important to pair with Indeedee-M because it struggles a lot with common U-turn users like Mienshao and Jirachi; Talonflame stands out as a great partner for this reason, though it must run Flame Body in order to avoid the priority-blocking effect of Psychic Terrain. Flame Body does allow it to potentially cripple threats to Indeedee like Mienshao, though.
