Summary

Poltchageist is a Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

Type: Grass/Ghost

Abilities:

  • Hospitality: When Poltchageist enters the battle, it restores a small amount of HP to an ally.
  • Heatproof (Hidden Ability): Reduces damage from Fire-type moves and effects of burn.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Poltchageist resembles a traditional tea-set with a ghostly twist.
  • Its body is a swirling, spectral green liquid contained within a cracked, ornate teapot.
  • The teapot has floral designs and a spout that appears chipped and worn, giving it an antique appearance.
  • Its eyes glow from the liquid inside, giving it a mischievous and lively expression.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Poltchageist is often found in ancient ruins and abandoned houses, places where it can bask in the remnants of past human activity.
  • It is known to be playful and enjoys sharing its tea with unsuspecting guests as a form of hospitality.
  • Despite its ghostly nature, Poltchageist is not inherently malevolent and often seeks companionship.

In Battle:

  • Poltchageist is known for its tricky battle strategies, often using its abilities to support teammates.
  • Signature moves include Spiteful Tea, which not only damages opponents but can also heal allies.
  • It excels against Psychic and Water types, exploiting its dual typing.
  • However, it is vulnerable to Flying, Ghost, Fire, Ice, and Dark-type moves.

Evolution:

  • Poltchageist evolves from Sinistea when exposed to a Cracked Pot.
  • There are two forms of Sinistea: Phony Form and Antique Form, and Poltchageist retains the form of its pre-evolution.

Interesting Facts:

  • Poltchageist is inspired by traditional tea culture and ghost stories, blending the two into a spectral yet charming Pokémon.
  • The design reflects elements of haunted tea sets, a nod to the poltergeist folklore.
  • Its unique ability, Hospitality, showcases its friendly demeanor despite its spooky appearance.
  • Poltchageist's name is a play on "poltergeist" and "cha," the latter being a word for tea in several languages.

Flavor Text Entries

  • Scarlet: Supposedly, the regrets of a tea ceremony master who died before perfecting his craft lingered in some matcha and became a Pokémon.
  • Violet: Poltchageist looks like a regional form of Sinistea, but it was recently discovered that the two Pokémon are entirely unrelated.
