#855 Polteageist

Polteageist (Japaneseポットデス Potdeath) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves from Sinistea when exposed to a Cracked Pot or a Chipped Pot, depending on Sinistea’s form. Polteageist’s form will be the same as it was as a Sinistea.

  • The Phony Form (if it lacks a stamp of authenticity) requires a Cracked Pot to evolve.
  • The Antique Form] (if it has a stamp of authenticity) requires a Chipped Pot to evolve.

It is ecologically similar to Sinistcha; however, the two are separate species.

Polteageist is a Pokémon made of black tea. Its body is purple with yellow accents, as well as yellow eyes and mouth. Its arms are thin and its hands have three digits, and it has two small legs. Polteageist inhabits a large, white teapot with cracks and holes on it, exposing parts of its body. The teapot has a yellow handle, as well as yellow accents on its cover and bottom. There are light blue swirly patterns surrounding the teapot. Most of the teapots that Polteageist inhabit are forgeries, but occasionally an authentic one is found.

The black tea that composes Polteageist’s body has a distinctly delicious flavor, but can cause strong chills when swallowed, and may also induce indigestion, stomach aches, and even death if drunk in excess. Only a Trainer it trusts is allowed to drink its tea. There are gourmets who drink Polteageist’s tea everyday, showing no fear of the side effects. Polteageist attacks by shooting the tea at its enemy’s mouth.

Polteageist live in hotels and restaurants, disguising themselves as tableware and infecting leftover tea to create more of their own kind. As such, Polteageist is a gender-unknown species. A Polteageist’s personality is dependent on the type of tea it possesses; the teapot it lives in doesn’t affect it. Despite their similar appearances, Polteageist is not related to Sinistcha.

Polteageist is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Teatime.“-Bulbapedia.
