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. On this page: The reward for all of the tasks listed below is an Inkay encounter and, if you’re lucky, one could be shiny:

Thank you to Amiibofan101 from reddit for the help with this information. 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. The following Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild during the event:
Alolan Rattata Murkrow Houndour Poochyena Galarian Zigzagoon Nuzleaf Sableye Purrloin
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Good luck catching a shiny Inkay!
