Stats & Training
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
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.
