Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| X | Opponents who stare at the flashing of the light-emitting spots on its body become dazed and lose their will to fight. |
| Y | 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. |
| UltraSun | It draws prey near with its blinking lights and then wraps them up in its long tentacles and holds them in place. |
| UltraMoon | 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. |
| Shield | By exposing foes to the blinking of its luminescent spots, Inkay demoralizes them, and then it seizes the chance to flee. |
