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. 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.

James Inkay

James' Inkay.

Main article: James' Inkay

Inkay appeared in "A Battle of Aerial Mobility!" when James caught him.

Trivia

  • Despite its squid-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.

Origin

Inkay is based on a squid. Its flashing ability may have been inspired by a combination of bioluminescence (found in several squid species) and squids' ability to change their skin color at will.

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)
