What it does
During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.
By exposing foes to the blinking of its luminescent spots, Inkay demoralizes them, and then it seizes the chance to flee.

Where it came from
Inkay first appeared in the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Obsidian Flames, which was released internationally in August 2023. As a common card numbered 137/197, this iteration of the Revolving Pokémon is part of the Scarlet & Violet Series. The set focused on the introduction of Tera Pokémon ex with shifted elemental types, though Inkay itself serves as a standard foundational card within the darkness-type roster.
The illustration for this card was created by artist Kagemaru Himeno, a long-standing contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for a soft, expressive style. Himeno captures Inkay in a typically whimsical pose, emphasizing its cephalopod-inspired design and bioluminescent features. The card was designed to function as a basic-level entry for players building darkness-themed decks, and it was received as a standard, accessible addition to the broader Obsidian Flames set.
