This dark/psychic originally appeared on the Nintendo 3DS in Pokemon X and Y with a special method of evolution.

Inkay does not need to do the battling though.

No external controllers can be powered on, only the Joy-Cons attached to the Nintendo Switch.

Inkay can be found near beaches and water in the Coastal Biome.

If you miss your shot, you will need to level Inkay up again while repeating the method.
