ANYWAY
This one goes out to Inkay and Malamar. I've always been obsessed with cephalopods, my favorite being the cuttlefish. During the XY I saw that Inkay was a squid and I was already sold, it being adorable and having a unique typing/ability only sweetened the deal. Seeing it in game was even better because of the way its lights flash when it attacks or emotes (emulating the color changing chromatophores of the cuttlefish) My boyfriend went to Japan and surprised me with a big Inkay plush he got from the pokemon center there. I also love that it knows hypnosis because cuttlefish are known to flash their chromatophores dazzling displays that hypnotize or mesmerize their less intelligent prey. I consider Malamar to be my ace pokemon. Despite it not being the best I've been able to have a lot of success with it especially since SM introduced Z Crystals (Z-Hypnosis boosts speed even if the pokemon has contrary) Here is the set I use:
Malamar (M) @ Psychium Z
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Psycho Cut
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Hypnosis
After Z-Hypnosis its at 409 Speed and ready to start setting up and sweeping.
