Lvl 30 (Hold the console upside down) → |
Malamar | ||
In order for you to evolve Inkay into Malamar you must level up your Inkay to Level 30. When leveling up during a battle, or when you give Inkay an Exp. Candy, and while in handheld mode, turn your Nintendo Switch upside down to evolve your Inkay into a Malamar after the battle.
Take note that this will only work during handheld mode, and will not work when in docked mode.
Make sure that the Gyroscope option is turned on in the Settings menu. Evolving Inkay into Malamar will only work when the Gyroscope Setting is turned on.
During battle, when you receive the Exp. Points, and just before hitting the A button, turn your Nintendo Switch upside down when in handheld mode. Then, press the A button and Inkay will evolve in to Malamar.
When giving the Inkay Exp. Candy, you need to turn your Nintendo Switch upside after using the Exp. Candy and before hitting the A button. After you've turn your Nintendo Switch upside-down, hit the A button and your Inkay will evolve into Malamar.
