Description
The Mega Evolution of Malamar, which debuted in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Mega Malamar's body grows to be thinner and taller, and its brain has become larger thanks to the power of Mega Evolution. The tentacles on its head all wrap around themselves, forming a brain-like shape. It has large shoulders that form the appearance of a popped collar, and under these shoulders are its two longer tentacles that function as arms. Mega Malamar moves around by levitating — the fins that functioned as its "legs" are now joined together.
Mega Malamar exhibits luminescence in many parts of its body: the tentacles on its head have a bright blue glow, while its body emits a shifting rainbow as a result of its overflowing psychic power. The light on Mega Malamar's body further amplifies its hypnotic abilities. The tips of its arms also glow when Mega Malamar uses its hypnotic powers: the tip on its right arm glows teal-green, while the tip on its left arm glows purple. Mega Malamar's tentacle arms allow it to sense the feelings of those around it.
Mega Malamar possesses greatly enhanced psychic powers, allowing it to go beyond simple hypnosis and overwrite the personalities and memories of its targets, making them act entirely different. Mega Malamar can further boost its psychic powers by sticking its arms into its head, stimulating its brain. Highly intelligent, this Pokémon prefers to battle with efficiency, and uses its powerful intellect to calmly analyze the situation during battles. Mega Malamar's haughty personality makes it see others, including Pokémon Trainers, as pawns, and it may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their commands.
Mega Malamar was revealed in a special titled SPECIAL REPORT: The Truth About Malamar | Pokémon Legends: Z-A on September 10th, 2025.
