How to Evolve an Inkay in Pokemon GO
Last updated
Ever wondered how to transform your cute Inkay into a formidable Malamar in Pokemon GO? You’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive straight into how you can evolve your Inkay into Malamar in the world of Pokemon GO.
The Short and Sweet on Evolving Inkay
To evolve an Inkay into Malamar, you need to flip your phone upside down! Yes, you read that right. Along with collecting 50 Inkay candies, turning your device upside down is a unique requirement for this evolution.
This quirky method mimics Inkay’s evolution method in the main series games. It’s one of Pokemon GO’s fun nods to the broader Pokemon universe. Make sure your phone’s screen rotates automatically, or this trick won’t work.
Why Flip Your Phone for Inkay?
The upside-down evolution trick has its roots in the Pokemon series. It’s a cool way that Niantic, the game developers, bring a piece of Pokemon lore into our real world through augmented reality (AR). This method makes evolving Inkay not just a task but an experience.
Remember, besides flipping your phone, you also need 50 Inkay candies. You can gather these candies by catching more Inkays, transferring them to the Professor, or walking with an Inkay as your buddy to earn candies as you move.
