Character Sheet: The Inkay Line

INKAY/MALAMAR


Next up, let's cover Inkay and Malamar, primarily based on squids and cuttlefish, but also on Lovecraftian and Eldritch lore, such as the elder god Cthulhu, their Dark/Psychic typing heavily based on this. They have a general malicious mind-control vibe going on, which you may have noticed heavily emphasized in the build-up to the reveal of their Mega form.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Psybeam > Superpower


Side B: Night Slash > Psycho Cut


Up B: Hypnosis


Down B: Payback


Final Smash: Topsy-Turvy > Mega Malamar


Entrance: Poke Ball


Taunts: Swirling its tentacles and making eye contacts, jetting around like squids do, things like that.


Kirby Hat: Their hat/squid body thing and two tentacles


Kart: The Poke Ball car

Special Move: Hypnosis


Spirit Battle: On Kalos Pokemon League


Victory Screen: Their opponents dancing around, Inkay or Malamar making eye contact with the player and starting their hypnosis.

Losing Screen: Fainted


Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors


Thanks for reading! Next up, Binacle clings to victory!
