Read more ↓Malamar, the Topsy-Turvy Pokémon, is a dual Dark/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It evolves from Inkay when leveled up while holding the Nintendo 3DS (or Switch) upside down, a unique and memorable evolution method that reflects its "topsy-turvy" nature. Malamar is known for its hypnotic powers, often using its luminescent body patterns and psychic abilities to control opponents or even humans, as depicted in the anime where a rogue Malamar attempted to conquer the world. Its design, resembling a squid or cuttlefish, is both elegant and menacing, fitting its Dark/Psychic typing perfectly. In the games, Malamar often features abilities like Contrary, which reverses stat changes, further emphasizing its unconventional and tricky combat style. Its presence in the anime, particularly as a recurring antagonist, cemented its reputation as a formidable and cunning Pokémon. Malamar's unique evolution and powerful psychic manipulation contribute to its distinct place within the Pokémon universe, making it a favorite among fans who appreciate strategic and visually striking Pokémon.
