How Much Useful Is My Inkay?
For Inkay, Jolly/Adamant Nature is beneficial for most Generations of Pokémon games.
Inkay has a unique dual typing of Dark/Psychic that leaves it with only 2 weaknesses, 4x to Bug and 2x to Fairy. Furthermore, it is immune to Psychic type moves. This niche, combined with its good Ability of Contrary, makes it a formidable opponent once it evolves into Malamar at Level 30 when leveled up while the console is held upside-down. It is strong against Fighting, Psychic, Ghost, and Poison type Pokémons.
Well, do you think that the Inkay Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats, and more? If yes then you should run down to the Inkay Evolution!
But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats, and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Inkay, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
