Walking with Inkay as your buddy.

Prepare for Evolution
Navigate to your Inkay's profile in the Pokémon GO app. Ensure you have the required 50 candies. You'll notice that the "Evolve" button is grayed out.

Flip Your Device Upside Down
To trigger the evolution, physically turn your phone upside down. This action mirrors the method from the main series games, where players had to flip their Nintendo 3DS to evolve Inkay. -
Evolve Inkay
With your device inverted, the "Evolve" button should become active. Tap it to evolve Inkay into Malamar.
⚠️ Troubleshooting Tips
-
Orientation Lock: Ensure your device's orientation lock is disabled so it can detect the upside-down position.
-
Gyroscope Sensor: Some older devices may lack the necessary sensors to detect orientation changes. If flipping doesn't work, try restarting the app or your device.
-
App Permissions: Make sure Pokémon GO has the necessary permissions to access your device's sensors.Polygon+1TikTok+1
