Pokémon games are all about catching your little pocket monsters, leveling them up, and evolving them. *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* is no different, continuing the series’ tradition of featuring some very funny and strange evolution methods. If you’re struggling to get your Inkay to turn into a Malamar, here’s what you need to do.
### How to Evolve Inkay in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
To evolve your Inkay, the first step is to level it up to level 30. However, unlike typical Pokémon evolutions, you won’t receive the usual notification that your Inkay is ready to evolve at this point. That’s because there’s a unique requirement you need to fulfill.
If you are playing in docked mode on your Nintendo Switch or Switch 2, switch to handheld mode and then turn the console upside down. Once you’ve done this, go to the Inkay in your team section. You should now see the **Evolve** option appear when you select Inkay.
Simply choose the **Evolve** option, and your Inkay will evolve into a Malamar!
This quirky evolution method is a fun twist that fits perfectly with Inkay and Malamar’s unique characteristics. Happy evolving!
