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