If you’re hoping to add Mega Malamar to your team in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you’re probably wondering how to evolve Inkay in this game. Inkay has one of the most unique methods of evolution in the Pokémon series. While the process remains mostly the same in this new RPG, there’s a small change to keep in mind.
Inkay evolves into Malamar, a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon. To get Mega Malamar — one of the new Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A — you need to own a Malamar first. But it’s not just about leveling Inkay up; there’s a specific way to do it.
Here’s how to evolve Inkay in Pokémon Legends: Z-A:
1. Reach at least level 30 with Inkay and make sure it’s in your party.
2. Switch your Nintendo Switch into handheld mode with the Joy-Con controllers attached.
3. Hold your console upside-down and select Inkay in your party. You’ll see the option to evolve it there.
Unlike previous games, you no longer need to level up Inkay while the console is upside-down. Also, the glowing arrow that normally appears next to Pokémon when they’re ready to evolve won’t show up here. This might make you think it’s not working, but don’t worry—just select Inkay, and as long as the console remains upside-down, the option to evolve will appear.
Remember, building a good friendship with Inkay can help, so try to increase your Pokémon’s friendship level quickly!
