The Inkay Limited Research event is a short Pokémon Go event all themed around the cute squid Pokémon.

During the Inkay Limited Research, a selection of Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild and there’s a couple of event bonuses for you to enjoy in Pokémon Go.

Not to forget about the event-exclusive field research tasks for the Inkay Limited Research event, which are very useful if you want to evolve Inkay into Malamar.

Inkay Limited Research bonuses and wild encounters in Pokémon Go explained

The main draw of the Inkay Limited Research event is not just the chance to easily catch Inkay, but the release of its shiny form in Pokémon Go. Every player has an increased chance of catching a shiny Inkay during the event, so, if you want one, make sure you take part.

If you do catch a shiny Inkay, you’ll be able to evolve it into a shiny Malamar - as long as you fulfil Inkay’s special evolution requirement, of course!

You’ll also receive double catch candy from any Pokémon during the event hours.
