"The live-action trailer reveals that all this excitement is due to a Malamar, which has gone into overdrive after it mega-evolved, using its hypnosis on the citizens of the world. Once the 'mon changes forms, it can hypnotize people to the point of completely changing their personalities. Its appearance is a bit more slender than in its base form, and its body becomes luminescent, emitting a rainbow light that seems to be the source of its hypnotic abilities."
"It's nice that more obscure Pokémon are getting Mega Evolutions in . Dragonite and Victreebel are cool additions, but we can always use more non-Generation I representation when giving old Pokémon new forms. I do wonder, though, if the game will find some way to implement Malamar's signature odd evolution style into the Mega Evolution. Maybe you'll have to hold your Switch or Switch 2 upside down to acquire its Mega Stone when the game launches on October 16."
Game Freak and The Pokémon Company amplified attention on Malamar through videos and care packages that emphasize the squid-like creature. Malamar debuts a Mega Evolution in a live-action trailer where it goes into overdrive and uses hypnosis on citizens, driving dramatic personality changes. The mega-evolved form appears slimmer and luminescent, with a rainbow light that seems to power its hypnotic abilities. Other older Pokémon like Dragonite and Victreebel also receive Mega Evolutions. Speculation suggests the Mega Evolution acquisition might echo Inkay's upside-down evolution mechanic on Switch hardware.
