Summary

Malamar is a unique dual-type Pokémon known for its Dark/Psychic attributes. Introduced in Generation VI, Malamar is distinctive not just for its abilities and type, but also for its intriguing appearance and peculiar evolution method.

Type: Dark/Psychic

Evolution: - Malamar evolves from Inkay when it reaches level 30 and the player turns their gaming device upside down.

Abilities: - Contrary: This is Malamar's signature ability that reverses all stat changes. For instance, a move that would normally decrease Malamar's stats will instead increase them, and vice versa. - Suction Cups: This ability prevents Malamar from being forced out of battle by moves like Roar or Whirlwind. - Hidden Ability (Infiltrator): This ability allows Malamar to bypass Substitute and Light Screen, Reflect, and Safeguard when attacking.
