What it does
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance.
It wields the most compelling hypnotic powers of any Pokémon, and it forces others to do whatever it wants.

Where it came from
The Malamar card, designated as number 77/146, was released in the XY expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which launched in early 2014. This set served as the inaugural release for the XY series, signaling the transition into the sixth generation of the franchise and introducing the fairy type alongside new gameplay mechanics. The card was designed to highlight the Overturning ability, a tactical feature that allowed players to attach a psychic energy card from their discard pile to one of their Pokémon, reflecting the strategic complexity typical of the era.
The illustration for this specific card was crafted by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon series since its inception. Sugimori’s artistic approach for this card emphasizes the creature's eerie, hypnotic nature, utilizing a dark color palette and fluid, bioluminescent imagery to convey its status as a dual dark and psychic type. Upon its release, the card was well-regarded among competitive players for its utility in energy acceleration, securing its place as a reliable staple in psychic-type deck archetypes during the 2014 competitive season.
