Indeedee's Psychic/Normal typing gives it an immunity to Ghost. Only 2 weaknesses on top of that — it has plenty of safe switch-in opportunities. One of the newer additions from Gen 8. It sits at a decent but contested Speed tier.
Indeedee's built around special offense. Sp. Atk leads the charge, Defense pays for it. Tough to catch, worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
It dislikes conflict. If a fight occurs in its territory, it uses psychic power to throw things at the combatants in an effort to drive them away.
In search of happy feelings—such as joy and gratitude—Indeedee bustles around, taking diligent care of people and other Pokémon.
Indeedee Weakness
GoodIndeedee is weak to Bug and Dark-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Indeedee's special bulk (base 95 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
No evolution chain to worry about here. Indeedee is a standalone Pokemon with plenty of partners for breeding through one egg group. Eggs come out takes forever to hatch.
How to Evolve
Breed Indeedee (with patience) with 66 breeding partners from the Fairy egg group.
Focus Sash guarantees Indeedee survives one hit from full HP. That's enough to deal early damage and fire off Expandingforce before going down. Psychic Surge and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs maximize first-turn impact.
