Catchable during Dynamax Adventures in Crown Tundra (DLC), level 65.
Getting Malamar By Evolution
Evolves from Inkay at level 30. When Inkay gains the level, you have to hold the Nintendo Switch upside-down in handheld mode (it will not evolve while docked) while the battle ends and then it will evolve. (In earlier games, the Nintendo 3DS needs to be held upside-down instead.)
