Contest Hypno vs Malamar

[Steel_Justice]

I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been done yet.

Both pokemon are psychic types known for their strong hypnotic powers. Who has the better design? Who would win in a battle? Who is more useful? And who can spawn more NSFW jokes?

 

[Norzan]

Defintely Malamar, better design, better stats, better everything.

 

[Peaceful Giraffe]

Malamar for the awesome typing. It could use more moves, but its still better then Hypno. It has a cool and creative method of evolution, too.

 

[Supreme Leader Palpitoad]

Malamar is my preferred. I always hated Hypnos design while Malamars is okay. Malamar would also have the upper hand in battle thanks to being a Dark type.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Malamar has an amazing design and better typing, plus it isn't often compared to pedophiles, like Hypno. So, Malamar.

 

[Rainami]

Malamar, hands down. Its design could be better, but it's still cool, wheras Hypno's design is weird. In a bad way, imo. Plus Malamar is a squid. I like squids. <3

Malamar would obviously outspeed and kill any Hypno will Night Slash. Wouldn't be surprised if it didn't 1-shot considering Malamar's unimpressive offense, but what's Hypno going to do back?

Malamar, as Hypno is just creepy (especially its Dex entries), slow and can't hit hard.
