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, start by leveling it up to level 30. However, unlike most Pokémon evolutions, you won’t receive the usual notification that your Inkay is ready to evolve.
That’s because there’s a unique requirement you must fulfill. If you’re playing in docked mode on your Nintendo Switch or Switch 2, switch to handheld mode and then turn the console upside down.
Next, go into the Inkay in your team section. You will now see the **Evolve** option appear when you select it. Hit that option, and your Inkay will evolve into a Malamar.
This quirky evolution method adds an extra layer of fun to the game, so give it a try and enjoy your newly evolved Malamar!
