Read more ↓Inkay, the Revolving Pokémon, is a unique Dark/Psychic-type creature introduced in Generation VI. It is known for its distinctive appearance, resembling a squid or cuttlefish with a cap-like head. Inkay evolves into Malamar when leveled up to 30 while holding the Nintendo 3DS (or Switch) upside down, a unique evolution method that reflects its "Revolving" designation. Inkay's diet primarily consists of prey that it lures with the blinking lights on its body, then incapacitates with its tentacles. In the games, Inkay often appears in forested or coastal areas, showcasing its adaptability to different environments. Its role in the anime frequently highlights its mischievous yet endearing personality, often seen alongside Team Rocket's James. Inkay's design and evolution method contribute to its cultural significance, making it a memorable and somewhat quirky Pokémon in the franchise. Its dual typing also gives it interesting matchups, being weak to Bug and Fairy, resistant to Psychic, and immune to Psychic-type moves in the games.
