Pokemon GO has announced the Psychic Spectacular event, which will take place from September 8th through September 13th. Inkay and Malamar, an evolutionary line from Pokemon X and Y, will be introduced at the event. These psychic squids are well-known for the unusual way Inkay evolves; as the Pokemon levels up, the player must hold their 3DS upside down in order to activate the transformation into Malamar. The blog article announcing the addition of these animals to Pokemon GO notes that Inkay would only evolve under exceptional conditions, implying that a similar approach will be required in the mobile game. This validates a data mine from March revealing Malamar‘s presence in Pokemon GO. Along with these arrivals, psychic-type Pokemon will become increasingly frequent in the wild and raids. Furthermore, the second part in the Season of Mischief research storyline will be released, providing additional information about the mischievous Hoopa.

Pokemon GO is no stranger to such occurrences. Following a 2016 debut that was culturally significant but lacking in substance, the mobile game has maintained its player base through frequent upgrades, as well as less showy modifications such as bug fixes and patches. This live service technique can be observed in Niantic’s response to Pokemon GO users’ complaints about recent lockdown modifications, as well as new additions like the arrival of Inkay and Malamar.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which will be released in November 2021 and January 2022, respectively, are two significant releases in the Pokemon series. These titles will almost certainly create many more chances for fresh content updates to Pokemon GO, such as this month’s Psychic Spectacular, and will give fans plenty of reasons to return to the game.
