Yesterday, The Pokémon Company revealed that a new Mega Evolution form for Malamar, the Overturning Pokémon, another Generation VI Pokémon that will be included in Pokémon Legends: Z-A game.
This follows the recent reveals of Mega Dragonite, Mega Victreebell, and Hoenn’s Avian Luchadore, Hawlucha. The Pokémon Company has stepped up its advertising game with Legends Z-A, even revealing that Mega Malamar was recently spotted using its hypnotic abilities on citizens of Lumiose City, creating a boom in popularity for the Pokémon observed in a special video and across the Pokémon social media channels.
Mega Malamar
- Category: Overturning Pokémon
- 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 Pokémon’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 can 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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon to interact with.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be available on Oct. 16, 2025, on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems. A Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition bundle will also be available.
