How to get the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy
Not only is it cool, but the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy is part of an important habitat, so you need to know how to get one
Finding the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy will take you into the deepest depths of the Bubbly Basin - perhaps for the first time. This dark underwater area might look scary, but it's not that hard to explore, and at least when it comes to finding Windup Inkay, I'll tell you exactly where you're headed.
Once you've found it, you can head back up towards the light of day and place the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy as part of the Muddy Playtime habitat, where another sealife Pokemon will join you and friends.
Where to find the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy
To find the Pokopia Windup Inkay toy, follow these instructions:
- Head to the broken bridge in the Imperial area of Bubbly Basin.
- Locate the large, Imperial, descending staircase to the east of the bridge, and go down. Then spin your left stick at the bottom until you drop to the depths.
- Turn back towards the stairs and walk below them, hugging the wall to the north until you see a small cave entrance illuminated by a purple coral (with an orange one inside).
- Follow this tunnel until you reach breakable rocks on your right. Break them to reveal a cave with a Pokeball inside.
- The Windup Inkay is inside the Pokeball, so interact with it, and claim your new toy!
To check you're in the right place, take a look at the map shown on the image above, which also indicates the location of the Windup Inkay. Keep your eyes peeled while you're down here, and you'll also find loads of other important resources and items, including Pokopia Grubby Pearls.
Now you've got the toy, you can build the Muddy Playtime habitat by combining the toy with a Towel Rack and a Floating Log next to some muddy water. I won't tell you which Pokemon might turn up here, though you might be able to guess at least one.

She then honed her guides writing skills at PCGamesN between 2022 and 2026, when she took those skills to GamesRadar as a Guides Writer. Danielle's guides are a safe space - she definitely got stuck before you did, which is why she's perfect for the job.
