Read details on Mega Malamar below:

Mega Malamar

• Category: Overturning Pokemon​
• Type: Dark / Psychic
• Height: 9’6″ (2.9 m)
• Weight: 153.9 lbs. (69.8 kg)

Malamar’s brain has become enlarged as a result of Mega Evolution. Greatly enhanced psychic power overflows from its body, emitting a bright glow. This vividly colored light further amplifies the Pokemon’s hypnotic abilities, allowing it to freely overwrite the personalities or even memories of others—a terrifying power that can make someone seem like an entirely different person.

Its glowing, undulating tendrils are able to pick up on the feelings of those around it. It prefers battling with efficiency, using its powerful intellect to analyze the situation with levelheadedness as it fights. Mega Malamar views others—even Pokemon Trainers—as its pawns. If it disagrees with an order given to it by a Trainer, it will sometimes respond by hypnotizing them, making this an incredibly difficult Pokemon to interact with.

It appears that Mega Malamar has recently been spotted using its hypnotic abilities on citizens of Lumiose City, creating the boom in popularity for the Pokemon recently observed in a special video and across the Pokemon social media channels.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch on October 16.
