The Dark/Psychic-type Inkay did it Pokemon Go debuted during the Psychic Spectacular event in 2021. More recently he returned in 2024 during the game's Halloween event, but evolving him into Malamar has become no clearer.
Fans who have played Generation VI will know that this species is a bit strange. Not only does it have a rare typing, but it also lives up to its title as a spinning Pokémon with its unique evolution method, which might confuse players who haven't yet met the Kalos native. If you caught an Inkay during its last week of increased spawn, you'll have to think a little outside the box to evolve it.
In the main line Pokemon games, players should level up Inkay to level 30 and then hold their Nintendo 3DS or Switch consoles upside down at the end of the battle to have the creature evolve into Malamar. As strange as it may seem, this fits perfectly with the design of the two Pokémon as Malamar is the larger, upside-down version of the squid-like creature, something you may not realize until you learn their evolution.
And just like with many other mechanics, Niantic has replicated this to some extent Pokemon Go.
