Gazing at its luminescent spots will quickly induce a hypnotic state, putting the observer under Malamar’s control.
It’s said that Malamar’s hypnotic powers played a role in certain history-changing events.
When it comes to strong hypnosis, there’s an endless number of people who utilize Malamar for their nefarious deeds.
It flashes the pattern on its torso to control its prey and draw them in. The edges of its fins are supremely sharp.
It wields the most compelling hypnotic powers of any Pokémon, and it forces others to do whatever it wants.
It lures its prey close with hypnotic motions, then wraps its tentacles around it before finishing it off with digestive fluids.
