Collector Insights

Inkay is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Ink Spit, costs one Darkness energy to deal 10 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from attacking during the opponent's next turn by forcing a coin flip that may nullify the attack. The card resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves multiplied by two. Inkay’s design is attributed to artist Tomokazu Komiya, and it belongs to the XY series, released in the Ancient Origins set on August 12, 2015. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to use light-emitting spots to disrupt opponents before retreating. It has no additional abilities beyond its attack and resistance. Inkay is classified as a Common rarity card in the Pokémon TCG.

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.
