He saw the error of his ways. People can change, chud.

Is Malamar the evilest pokemon?
>>
>>58232226
Yes. That's literally its shtick. It's one of the few Pokemon that is out and out evil.
>>
>>58232226
Eviltal-Z will top her
>>
>>58232226
If you believe the pokedex entry, then there's probably not a lot that can beat drifloon dragging children off to the afterlife
>>
>>58232241
Drifloon is a psychopomp. It's not killing children, it's taking them to where they need to go.
>>
>>58232226
What about Genesect in-game?
>>
>>58232215
Nine times out of ten, Mega Evolution is a bad thing. It makes Pokemon crazy and violent or somehow hurts them.
Why the fuck would you do that to Malamar? The thing already fucking hates you.
>>
>>58232247
He's just autistic
>>
>>58232226
Hydreigon is worse
>>
>>58232258
That's like comparing Hitler to a hungry piranha. One's lashing out at everything because it can't help being destructive, the other is literally Hitler and actively chooses to be evil
>>
>>58232241
A wild animal killing a child is not a good or evil act.
>>
So what is gonna be mega Malamar’s ability? All the hypnosis stuff is fun and all, but its main gimmick is supposed to be reversing things, which is why it gets contrary. Will its mega keep contrary or get something else? Are they really going for the hypno thing and giving it an ability related to hypnosis?
>>
>>58232313
Isn't Contrary its HA? It'll probably become Megamalamar's normal ability.
>>
>>58232313
It was always an evil super villain hypnotist. The anime had an episode for this alone
>>
>>58232313
Auto Topsy Turvy would be sick. Let your teammate throw out a Draco Meteor or something then mega for a +2 boost
>>
>>58232318
No, it’s actually the only one that gets contrary as one of its regular abilities. It and topsy-turvy are its main gimmicks, as well as the fact that it evolves by turning your console upside down
>>
>>58232313
More accurate psychic moves to boost hypnosis's accuracy. Also give it zen headbutt.
>>
>>58232340
>ability makes Hypnosis 100%
Banned so fast your fucking head will spin.
>>
>>58232321
>new room move that reverses all stat changes for all battlers for its duration
>mega malamar gets an ability that sets it on switch in
Kino?
>>
>>58232340
>Also give it zen headbutt
Unless its mega is a special attacker. That would make sense with the whole hypnosis thing.
>>
>>58232313
It's supposed to have enhanced psychic power. So maybe an ability that boosts it's psychic type moves or psychic surge.
>>
>>58232346
Nah. Spore users exist too.
>>
>>58232367
Palastine is not a real place. Am Yisrael Chai.
>>
Fuck it
Give it special huge power
>>
>>58232359
>or psychic surge.
might be an easy slap-on ability
>>
>>58232355
Malamar has always been about hypnosis and was always physical.

Speed boost but it raises special attack at the end of each turn with a brain stab.
>>
>>58232313
Everyone on the Field basically gets Contrary maybe?

>>58232313
It makes your opponent click different moves than what they actually selected.

No typedo is

Drifloon's entry is based off of an event where it tried to hug a child in PLA, it doesn't actually kidnap people

Probably, It is in the Club but i feel like it isn't an empty table anymore in spite of the "There are no bad Mons, only bad trainers!" thing. Pic not related, they did NOTHING wrong and are simply Karma for the Paldean Empire being a tyrannical shit hold with human sacrifice practices. They gud mons who deserve pets and snacks!
>>
>>58233197
>based off of something that came out decades later
esl
>>
>>58232241
Funny you say this and yet omit that entry that says Drifloon has all the lifting power of a balloon and can't actually carry kids away, so it ends up dragged around by them instead.
>>
>>58233232
That's "Doing in the wizard" for you, Sometimes things would been better not being "Explained" at all, but that won't stop modern writers from doing it and ruin setting mystique in the process with a shitty "Explanation". See: FFXIV Endwalker.

>Pokemon is known because it turns upside down

>>
>>58232313
I have a feeling we will be getting a lot of new unique abilities for ZA megas despite old megas rarely getting one. Most the ZA megas are based around a specific theme or gimmick while old ones mostly just get edgier.
>>
>>58233258
Inkay is the one known for turning upside down
>>
>>58233346
I'm not talking about the animation, Inkay goes upside down when it evolves into Malamar, that's its method of evolving
>>
>>58233258
it should just slowly rotate like a watch in it's idle animation
>>
NOT ALL DARK TYPES ARE EVIL
NOT ALL EVIL IS DARK

>>58233197
holy retard
>>
>>58232215
There are no evil pokemon
>>
>>58233732
There are absolutely evil pokemon. But there are not species of Pokemon where every one of them is evil.
>>
>>58232313
>Every other Mega Evo is all about Pokemon being mentally or physically messed up.
>In contrary, the usually evil and manipulative Malamar turns into paragon of niceness and friendliness, albeit it's methods still involve gaslighting and brainwashing everyone to love Malamar.

It will be contrary. The lore behind it is just all about Malamar flip floping between being straight evil or kinda good but still lacking sense of morality.
>>
>>58233732
Evil type exists. Sure, not of them are evil by default but some like Hydreigon are. Any Pokemon that actively works with an evil team is evil. Giratina was exiled to the Distortion World and is implied to be the pokedevil. Mystery Dungeon has you fight evil Pokemon.
>>
>>58232226
Fabulously.
You have no idea how I want that arc from XY resolved.
>>
>>58232313
Contrary but for the opposing pokemon.
