Malamar

Malamar, the evolved form of Inkay, is a Dark/Psychic Pokémon debuting in the sixth generation.
Continuing the "topsy-turvy" theme of Inkay, it resembles an upside-down squid. It's alleged to be extremely good at hypnosis. Its evolution method is also impossible in Generation 5 and before (as the systems for those games didn't have a method to detect if they were upside down or not), likely making it unpopular with ROM hackers. If Malamar ever shows up in a ROM hack of an older Pokémon game, expect its evolution method to be changed in some way, usually to just flat-out making it a straight level-up evolver. Also, in the Generation 8 games, you can't have your Switch plugged in to the TV cradle to play it using a TV.
