Indeedee are navy and white bipedal Pokémon that differ in appearance depending on their gender. Both forms have white faces, rounded heads and pear-shaped bodies and white hands and feet with three digits on each of them. The males have upward turned spiral horns, blue markings in-between its eyes, a generally more navy body and more white around the legs. Females have downward turned spiral horns, pink markings above its eyes, a more white body and darker legs. These markings all give them the appearances of butlers and maids.
These Pokémon willingly serve people and other Pokémon, as they derive energy from feelings of gratitude. They use their horns to sense emotions to determine other's needs and serve them better. Males are skilled at being valets while the females are supposed to be excellent babysitters. Stat-wise, the males have better offensive stats while the females have better defensive stats.
- Indeedee's genders are version-exclusive: in Pokémon Sword only males appear in the wild, while in Pokémon Shield only females are encountered. Either one may be hatched from an Egg.
- Indeedee shares its category with Kirlia and Mesprit. They are all known as the Emotion Pokémon.
Origin
Indeedee may be based on Lares, the household deities in ancient Roman religion, said to protect the house in exchange for worship and gratitude. Lares is commonly depicted in pairs and holding rhyta, horn-like containers that often depict Satyrs, half-goat creatures from Greek Mythology. It may also draw inspiration from brownies, the household spirits from British folklore said to come out at night to perform domestic and farming tasks. Their gender-specific motifs may also be based on housekeepers, with its male form having traits of a butler while its female form has traits of a maid.
