Inkay's egg groups: Water 1, Water 2

The egg moves for Inkay are listed below, alongside compatible parent Pokémon it can breed with.

You will need to breed a female Inkay with a compatible male Pokémon, with either parent (from Gen 6+) knowing the egg move in question. Alternatively, if you already have a Inkay with the egg move it can breed with Ditto.
