Pokemon GO: How to evolve Inkay into Malamar?

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Pokemon adventures under my belt, I must say, the Psychic Spectacular event in Pokemon GO has been quite intriguing! The increased spawn rate of Psychic Pokemon and the debut of Hatenna have certainly added a fresh twist to the game.

At present, there’s an exciting occasion happening in Pokemon GO called “Psychic Spectacular.” This special event runs from September 18 to September 22. During this period, you’ll notice that Psychic Pokémon appear more frequently than usual. Additionally, this event signifies the introduction of Hatenna into Pokemon GO for the first time.

You’ll come across the Pokemon Inkay more frequently. It’s a dual-type Dark/Psychic Pokemon that transforms into Malamar upon reaching 50 Inkay Candy. The interesting part is, when you try to evolve Inkay into Malamar, you’ll find out it needs a unique task for evolution. This task isn’t explicitly told to trainers; instead, they must figure it out independently.

How to evolve Inkay into Malamar?

As a gamer, I often find myself needing to complete a unique mission before my Pokémon can evolve, like with the elusive Inkay in Pokémon GO. If you’ve been catching plenty of Inkay recently, you might be curious about what specific task is necessary for it to transform into Malamar.

Clicking on the question mark symbol before evolving Inkay will display an inverted question mark as guidance, indicating that you must complete a specific task to evolve it successfully. This inverted question mark serves as a significant clue for the evolution process.

To trigger Malamar’s evolution, simply turn your device upside down. Once you do, the light pink “Evolve” button will change to dark pink, signaling that you can proceed with the evolution process. If you’re a newcomer to the Pokémon series, this method might feel a bit unusual or perplexing. However, it’s worth noting that Inkay’s upside-down evolution is not an entirely novel concept within the franchise.

During Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, instead of flipping your phone over like it was previously required, you needed to flip your Nintendo 3DS upside-down in order to evolve Inkay. If you were a player of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, you might have discovered this trick on your own. But for those who hadn’t encountered the process of evolving Inkay before, they may have spent quite some time looking for the solution to evolve Inkay.

From now on, since you’re familiar with Niantic’s methods for evolving Inkay, you won’t encounter any difficulties when it comes to this evolutionary process. Inkay can be found at any point in time, not just during the Psychic Spectacular Event. Yet, keep an eye out as encounters will be more common!
