Pretend to be sick

Malamar made his floating a bit more woozy-looking, emulating when he'd been sick a while ago.

He instinctively began to swirl his tentacles too, so when Flannery saw him, he could start the hypnosis.

"Oh!" Flannery said, approaching the 'sick' Malamar. "Are you sick, Pokemon?"

"Malaaa..." Malamar moaned.

"I was going to head to the Pokemon Center," said Flannery. "I don't have Revives, but I do have some potions."

As she went through her backpack, her eyes felt drawn to the swirling tentacles. She didn't know much about Malamar, so she assumed those tentacles swirling were a sign of sickness.
