Inkay was first introduced in Pokémon GO nearly a year ago during the fifth-anniversary event<\/a> for the game. Along with Inkay, Trainers were able to get a hold of Malamar in the same way that he’s obtained through the mainline franchise.<\/p>\n

Even after almost a year, Inkay is still an elusive Pokémon that comes and goes depending on the current event or season. The dual Dark and Psychic-type is a fan favorite because of the cute first-stage design and imposing evolution. This guide will outline exactly how to get your own Inkay and evolve it into Malamar along the way.<\/p>\n

Before you try any evolutions, you’re going to need an Inkay of your own. Of course, getting a good one before you attempt the evolution is the best scenario, but work with what you have. Psychic-type events will usually bring the Generation VI squid back into the wild, or if you’re lucky, it’ll be spawning regardless.<\/p>\n

Catch any Inkay that you find when you’re playing Pokémon GO. To evolve the Revolving Pokémon, you’re going to need 50 Candies in total. That translates to about 17 catches without any other boosts. Transferring extra catches or using Pinap Berries can also speed up that process.<\/p>\n
