Inkay (Japanese: マーイーカ, Hepburn: Maaiika) is a Dark/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Biology
Physiology
Inkay is a small amphibious Pokémon that resembles a squid or cuttlefish. Its body is round and blue in color, with a fringe of short tentacles forming its underside. Inkay has very large round black eyes and a small pink beak-like smiling mouth. It has a pinkish white-finned cap-like feature with four bioluminescent yellow spots atop its head. Two short white arm-like tentacles sprout from either side of its cap. When in battle, Inkay uses the luminescent yellow patches on its pink cap to hypnotize its foes.
Evolution
Inkay can be evolved to a Malamar at level 30 while having a Pokémon Battle while holding the 3DS or Switch (provided the game is being played in Handheld Mode) upside-down.

Appearances
Anime
Inkay appeared in "A Battle of Aerial Mobility!", when James caught him.
Trivia
- Despite its squid or cuttlefish-like appearance, it isn't a Water-type.
- Inkay's method of evolution is the most unusual of all evolution methods. Its method is the only evolution method that need the player to do something with the platform, rather than the program.
- In Super Smash Bros., Inkay is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Pokéballs. During this time, it uses the move Topsy-Turvy.
Etymology
Inkay's name is derived from the words "ink" or possibly "inky", and "ika", Japanese for "squid." It may also derive from "okay."
Maaiika derives from "まあ、いいか," (maa, ii ka, Japanese for "oh, okay"), 魔 (ma, devil or magic) and 真烏賊 (maika, Japanese flying squid)
