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.

Indeedee is weak to Bug and Dark. 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.
