Looking for a Pokemon GO Inkay evolution guide? With literally hundreds of lovable monsters to collect, Pokemon GO has been a mobile juggernaut since its release. New regions have added dozens of pokemon each, so there’s plenty to keep players busy. One such way developer Niantic accomplishes this is by making the evolutions of certain Pokemon more unique. Kalos region squid, Inkay, is one such example. Here’s how to evolve that adorable little guy into the intimidating Malamar.
