Have you gotta catch ’em all in Pokémon Go? Well, get ready to flip your phone for this one! Inkay, the adorable blue squid Pokémon, has a super unique evolution method that’s as quirky as its design. That’s right, trainers – gotta evolve ’em upside down!
This isn’t just some crazy mobile game glitch, though. Long-time Pokémon fans will remember this trick from Pokémon X and Y on the 3DS – you literally had to hold your console upside down to evolve Inkay! Niantic cleverly brought this fun detail to Pokémon Go, making evolution a part of the catching experience itself.
So, how does it work? First things first, you’ll need 50 Inkay Candy. Catch wild Inkay, walk with it as your buddy, or complete special research – whatever works for you! Once you have the candy, select the Inkay you want to evolve. Here’s the cool part: the evolve button will be faint at first. But flip your phone upside down – literally upside down – and watch the magic happen! The button will light up, ready for you to complete Inkay’s funky transformation into Malamar, the Dark/Psychic type squid everyone loves (well, maybe not everyone…).
Inkay Evolution Thoughts
This special evolution method adds a whole new layer of fun to Pokémon Go, don’t you think? It makes catching and evolving Inkay an interactive experience, just like the classic games. What other Pokémon do you think Niantic could give unique evolution methods to? Maybe holding your phone close to a flame for a fire-type evolution, or shaking it rapidly for a speedy Pokémon? Let’s hear your ideas in the comments!
