The Dark/Psychic-type Inkay made its Pokémon Go debut during the Psychic Spectacular event in 2021. It most recently returned in 2024 during the game’s Halloween event, but evolving it into Malamar hasn’t become any more clear.
Fans who’ve played Gen VI will know this species is a bit odd. It not only has a rare typing, but also lives up to its title of the Revolving Pokémon with its unique evolution method, which might confuse players who haven’t yet encountered the Kalos native. If you’ve caught an Inkay during its most recent increased-spawn week, you’ll need to think a bit outside the box in order to evolve it.
