Inkay (マーイーカ, Maaiika) is a creature from the Pokémon universe.
Origin[edit]
Inkay is a Dark/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Pokémon X and Y, found in the wild in the grassy area of Route 8, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #686 as the "Revolving Pokémon". It evolves into Malamar starting at level 30 if it levels up while the game system is flipped upside-down.
Topsy-Turvy is a Dark-type move which reverses all stat changes of the targeted Pokémon.
In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Inkay appears in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a Poké Ball summon. It uses Topsy-Turvy, turning upside-down: every time it touches the ground, all grounded enemy players near it will trip.
Inkay has a spawn chance of 40/975. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):
Trophy[edit]
Inkay's trophy is randomly available in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it is part of the Pokémon X & Pokémon Y Trophy Box.
- Inkay
Inkay may look like a Water-type Pokémon, but it's actually a Dark/Psychic type! Once it has reached the proper level, Inkay can evolve into Malamar if you hold the Nintendo 3DS upside down. In Smash Bros., its Topsy-Turvy move will flip anyone who wanders too close upside down. Watch out!
: Pokémon X & Pokémon Y (10/2013)
A Pokémon that looks this much like a squid MUST be a Water-type, right? Wrong! It's a Dark- and Psychic-type. If you're struggling to get it to evolve, try holding your system upside down. In this game, Inkay's Topsy-Turvy move can knock you over, and you won't be much use like that, so watch out!- : Pokémon X/Y (10/2013)
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Inkay returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon.
Inkay has a spawn chance of 40/1463. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
Spirit[edit]
Inkay also appears as an Advanced-class support spirit.
Inkay's Spirit Battle uses a cyan Inkling puppet fighter and is fought on a hazardless Kalos Pokémon League. The stage will periodically be shaken by earthquakes, referencing Inkay's Topsy-Turvy move. Inkling also starts with a Poké Ball that contains Inkay.
