| Mystical Fire | Trick/Dazzling Gleam |
Female Support Set: While female Indeedee is slightly less offensive than its male counterpart, it finds success in a different niche. Mainly in double battles where it is used to set up terrain as well as bringing back hurt team members with Healing Wish once its bulk was broken through.

| Hyper Voice/Dazzling Gleam | Healing Wish |

FAQs
Is male or female Indeedee better?
While both forms of Indeedee are effective, the male form is a more offensive version and the female form is more defensive. Male Indeedee definitely sees more use but both forms are somewhat comparable.
Why is Indeedee so hard to catch?
Both forms of Indeedee can be difficult to capture due to their hard hitting psychic type moves. The best option is to use a dark type Pokemon that is immune to their strongest moves and it takes the pressure off your Pokemon’s health while you try to capture Indeedee.
What is Indeedee’s hidden ability?
Indeedee’s hidden ability is Psychic Surge, which is definitely its best ability. It activates Psychic Terrain upon Indeedee entering the field which boosts psychic type moves by 1.3 times. That buffs the move Expanding Force and changes the move Terrain Pulse to a powerful psychic type move.
Conclusion
Indeedee doesn’t look it at first but upon its release both forms were used heavily in high levels of play and really did hold their own. These little maid and butler Pokemon really want to make their trainers proud and they were doing it in battle instead of in their living room. Especially in its male form its speed and power made it popular and powerful.
