Pokemon Trainer
Even
Easily the most annoying to deal with. Hard to punish oos. Use splattershot and bair to stuff out approaches
Can steal stocks early and force options with razor leaf, but mostly loses in neutral and vine whip recovery can be gimped
Also steals stocks early but mostly only with rage. Also mostly loses in neutral but watch out for fast and strong oos and massive kill moves
Can pokemon switch out of confirms, but leaves them vulnerable afterwards

Foresights out of strings and out frame datas in neutral; hard to punish oos
Both suffer from gimping hard, but Mythra less so. Can switch out of confirms without the PT vulnerability issues

R.O.B.
Even
The hardest even Inkling has. Hard to punish spaced pressure out of shield, hard to get off ledge safely, can have stocks stolen by touch of deaths, hard to get stocks off edgeguarding due to multitude of stalling options, great amount of fuel, and heaviness. However, Inkling also has some strengths in the mu. R.O.B. is combo food and also struggles to deal with spaced pressure from bair and dash attack crossups out of shield. You can also use his gyro against him as an out of shield option or for ledgetrapping. Lastly TODs are still possible but harder to land thanks to inkling's small size

Sheik
Even
One of the few mus where Inkling does the stock stealing. She's hard to punish out of shield, has super fast frame data, and really far reaching recovery with wall cling, but she's also super light and lacks disjoints to challenge inkling air to air. Sheik can also struggle to land her combos on Inkling because of their small size

Shulk
Unfavorable
The epidemy of everything Inkling hates: Frame 1 kill confirm escaping with arts, stealing stocks with smash, safe pressure from massive disjoints, hard to edgeguard and ledgetrap unless you trade. It's still doable since Shulk is a difficult character to play at his peak.

Top MK Player Opinion: Has the benefits of fgc characters (high damage output and kill potential per interaction win) but without the weaknesses. Has spammable pressure that's hard to deal with and comeback mechanic that never runs out on a heavy, but gets mostly stuffed out by bair and gimped very early
