The Pokemon Company and developer Game Freak shared a new trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A showing off Mega Malamar.

Here’s a bio on the new version of the Pokemon, plus some new trailers:

Mega Malamar

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 are able to 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.

It appears that Mega Malamar has recently been spotted using its hypnotic abilities on citizens of Lumiose City, creating the boom in popularity for the Pokémon recently observed in a special video and across the Pokémon social media channels. For a special report investigating the truth behind Mega Malamar’s recent activities in Lumiose City, please visit the official Pokémon YouTube channel.
