60 HP, 65 Def, 95 SpDef — physically fragile but special bulk is respectable; recovery tools extend its longevity.
Ability: Psychic Surge
▸
Sets Psychic Terrain on entry
Blocks priority moves (Quick Attack, Fake Out, Extreme Speed, Sucker Punch) targeting grounded Pokémon for 5 turns. Critical for protecting slow restricted Pokémon.
▸
Boosts Psychic-type moves by 30%
Indeedee’s own Psychic and Expanding Force both benefit, making it a potent mixed attacker despite its support role.
▸
Expanding Force doubles in Psychic Terrain
80 BP → 160 BP spread move that hits both opponents. In Psychic Terrain, this one-shots most common VGC Pokémon at +0.
Signature Move: Follow Me
▸
Redirects all single-target moves to Indeedee-F
Protects your partner (usually a restricted legendary) from targeted attacks for one turn.
▸
Priority +2 within its priority bracket
Faster than Protect (priority +4) in terms of "turn-order decision", but resolves after moves of the same priority. Indeedee at 95 Speed usually moves before opponents.
▸
Does NOT redirect spread moves (Earthquake, Heat Wave)
Position your team to avoid spread-move matchups, or use Indeedee as the front Shield Pokémon.
▸
Synergizes with Psychic Terrain
Fake Out fails in Psychic Terrain so opponents cannot stop Indeedee from using Follow Me on turn 1.

Best Partners
👻
Calyrex-Shadow
Follow Me protects Calyrex turn 1 while Psychic Terrain blocks Fake Out. Expanding Force + Astral Barrage = massive pressure.
❄️
Calyrex-Ice
Trick Room setter. Follow Me redirects attacks while Calyrex sets TR; both benefit from Psychic Terrain’s priority block.
⚡
Miraidon
Electric terrain from Miraidon overwrites Psychic Terrain — use carefully. Indeedee Follow Me buys Miraidon setup time.
🐉
Koraidon / Kyogre
Any slow restricted legendary benefits from Follow Me + Psychic Terrain combo on turn 1.
How to Counter
Taunt
Prevents Follow Me, Helping Hand, and any non-damaging moves. Tornadus and Grimmsnarl are common Taunt users in VGC.
Spread moves (Earthquake, Heat Wave)
Bypass Follow Me entirely. Position Indeedee away from spread-move abusers or accept chip damage.
Physical attackers
Indeedee-F’s 65 Def makes it extremely vulnerable to physical hits not redirected by Follow Me.
Imprison / Magic Coat
Imprison with Follow Me in set blocks Indeedee’s redirect. Magic Coat reflects Taunt back.
Misty Terrain / Electric Terrain
Overwriting Psychic Terrain removes both Psychic-type boost and priority block. Key counterplay on terrain-dependent teams.
