How To Evolve Inkay in Pokemon Go

To evolve Inkay into Malamar in Pokémon GO, there’s a special twist! Unlike typical evolutions, Inkay requires a specific mechanic to evolve.

Here’s how you can evolve Inkay into Malamar:

Steps to Evolve Inkay into Malamar in Pokémon GO:

1. Catch Inkay:

   • Inkay can be found in the wild during certain events or through Field Research tasks.

   • You can also hatch Inkay from 7 km Eggs during some special events.

2. Earn 50 Inkay Candy:

   • You need 50 Inkay Candies to evolve it into Malamar. You can gather Inkay Candies by:

     • Catching Inkay (each catch gives you some candies).

     • Using Razz Berries to increase your catch rate.

     • Walking Inkay as your buddy to earn Candies.

     • Using Rare Candies or Pinap Berries.

     • Hatching eggs and catching more Inkay.

     • Transferring any extra Inkay or using Lucky Eggs to double your candy from catches.

3. Perform the Special Evolution Trick: The special condition for evolving Inkay into Malamar is that you need to flip your phone upside down while evolving it.

   • Once you’ve accumulated 50 Inkay Candies, go to your Inkay’s page in your Pokémon list.

   • Tap on Evolve.

   • As soon as you start the evolution, flip your phone upside down (the phone’s orientation needs to be inverted).

   • You’ll see the evolution animation, and Inkay will evolve into Malamar!

Why Do You Need to Flip Your Phone Upside Down?

This mechanic is inspired by how Inkay evolves in the main series of Pokémon games, where it requires the player to flip their device upside down. It’s a fun way to make the evolution process a bit more unique!

Tips:

• Be sure your phone’s orientation settings are on so the device can detect when it’s upside down.

• If you forget to flip your phone, you won’t be able to evolve Inkay, so remember to do it during the evolution process.
