Pokemon #687 in the National PokéDex, a dual-type Dark/Psychic Pokémon.
It evolves from Inkay starting at level 30 when leveled up while the Nintendo 3DS system is held upside-down.
Malamar is a dark-purple squid-like Pokémon. It has a pair of fins 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. In battle, Malamar has a unique move in the form of topsy-turvy, which reverses all stat changes made by the pokemon it is used on, befitting its most notable traits.
The Touhou character Kijin Seija is commonly compared to Malamar due to their habits of reversing things, and as such Malamar is commonly viewed as her pokemon.
