Malamar (Japanese: カラマネロ Calamanero) is a dual-type Dark/Psychic Pokémon.
It evolves from Inkay starting at level 30 while the 3DS is held upside-down.
Biology
Malamar is a dark-purple squid-like Pokémon. It has a pair of tentacles on the bottom of its body that function as its legs. Malamar's main body has six light-yellow spots on the front and back and a light-yellow stripe nearly wrapping around its body above the spots. Its arm-like tendrils have grown scythe-like in appearance. Malamar has a red beak, half closed eyes with black sclera, yellow irises and wavy "hair" made of eight tentacles. It possesses strong hypnotic powers, which it uses to force others to do its bidding. It can lure prey with hypnotic motions before it wraps its tentacles around the prey, then it finishes off with digestive fluids. Malamar and its pre-evolution Inkay are the only known Pokémon that can learn Topsy-Turvy.

Trivia
- Inkay and Malamar have several unique attributes:
- In addition to Inkay's method of evolution into Malamar being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous core series Pokémon games since only the Nintendo 3DS has an internal gyroscope.
- They are the only Pokémon in the Water 2 Egg Group that are not Water-type.
- They are the only Pokémon that can have the ability Contrary without it being their Hidden Ability.
- They are the only non-Normal-type Pokémon with no resistances.
- Malamar and its pre-evolution were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[1]
Origin
Malamar is based on an upside-down squid. Its body orientation and hypnosis ability may have been inspired by the vampire squid's abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light.
Name origin
Malamar may be a combination of mal- (Latin for bad), calamari, and mare (Latin for sea).
Calamanero may be from 絡ます karamasu (to entangle), calamari, 魔 ma (demon), and possibly nero di seppia (Italian for cephalopod ink).
