The Pokémon Company has announced the debut of Mega Malamar, a new Mega Evolution form for the Overturning Pokémon, set to appear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The game launches worldwide on October 16, 2025 for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
Mega Malamar: Powers and Abilities
Mega Evolution has dramatically altered Malamar’s form:
- Its enlarged brain grants vastly amplified psychic power, glowing with a radiant light.
- This light amplifies hypnotic abilities, allowing Mega Malamar to rewrite personalities and memories at will.
- Its glowing tendrils sense emotions and provide an edge in battle.
- Known for its cold intellect, Mega Malamar often sees others—even Trainers—as mere pawns.
In rare cases, Mega Malamar may even hypnotize its own Trainer if it disagrees with their orders, making it one of the most dangerous Pokémon to handle.
