Where it came from
Malamar 90/147 was released in the Burning Shadows expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2017. As a Darkness-type Pokémon, it draws inspiration from the creature's debut in the Generation VI video games, where it is known for its hypnotic abilities and inverted evolution mechanic. This card was designed to integrate into the competitive meta of the time, providing players with tactical options through its specific move set and type advantages typical of the Sun & Moon era.
The illustration for this card was rendered by artist Hitoshi Ariga, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon franchise known for his dynamic character work and clean, illustrative style. Ariga’s design emphasizes Malamar's eerie, cephalopod-inspired aesthetic, utilizing sharp lines and a color palette that reinforces its Dark-type classification. The card was well-received by collectors for its aesthetic consistency with the Burning Shadows set and its functional utility in deck building.
