Shiny Inkay Pokédex Entries

  • X, Omega Ruby:Opponents who stare at the flashing of the light-emitting spots on its body become dazed and lose their will to fight.
  • Y, Alpha Sapphire:It flashes the light-emitting spots on its body, which drains its opponent’s will to fight. It takes the opportunity to scuttle away and hide.
  • Ultra Sun:It draws prey near with its blinking lights and then wraps them up in its long tentacles and holds them in place.
  • Ultra Moon:When exchanging information with others of its kind, it flashes the light-emitting spots on its body in a complex rhythm.
  • Sword:It spins while making its luminescent spots flash. These spots allow it to communicate with others by using different patterns of light.
