Build Notes
Mega Malamar uses Contrary to convert Superpower's Attack and Defense drops into boosts, becoming stronger and bulkier each time it uses the move. Max HP and max Attack Adamant investment maximizes both its durability and damage output. Grimmsnarl's Prankster Fake Tears and Scary Face at priority give it free SpD and Speed boosts through Contrary. Knock Off is one of the best moves in the format for removing items, and Psycho Cut provides Psychic STAB. Unlike Staraptor, Malamar gets access to Superpower for repeatable self-boosting.
