Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| X / Omega Ruby | It wields the most compelling hypnotic powers of any Pokémon, and it forces others to do whatever it wants. |
| Y / Alpha Sapphire | It lures its prey close with hypnotic motions, then wraps its tentacles around it before finishing it off with digestive fluids. |
| Ultra Sun | When it comes to strong hypnosis, there’s an endless number of people who utilize Malamar for their nefarious deeds. |
| Ultra Moon | It flashes the pattern on its torso to control its prey and draw them in. The edges of its fins are supremely sharp. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
