Summary

Polteageist is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Type: Ghost

Abilities:

Weak Armor: When hit by a physical move, this ability lowers the user's Defense by one stage but increases its Speed by two stages.
Cursed Body (Hidden Ability): Has a 30% chance of disabling any move that hits the Pokémon.

Physical Characteristics:

Polteageist resembles a small, ghostly creature that resides in a classic British-style teapot.
Its body is purple, with a swirl pattern on its chest and arms.
The lid of the teapot serves as a cap for its head, and it has large, expressive eyes.
It emerges from the spout and can retract into the teapot for protection.

Behavior and Habitat:

Polteageist is often found in old, quiet places and is said to inhabit hotels and restaurants.
It is known for its mischievous nature, often playing tricks on unsuspecting guests.
This Pokémon enjoys serving itself to those who drink tea; however, trainers should be cautious as drinking too much from the pot can cause stomachaches.

In Battle:

Polteageist is known for its special attacking capabilities and speed.
Signature move: Teatime, which forces all Pokémon in battle to eat their held Berries.
Other notable moves include Shell Smash, which drastically boosts its stats, and Shadow Ball, a strong Ghost-type attack.
It is strong against Psychic and Ghost types, but weak to Dark-type moves.

Evolution:

Polteageist evolves from Sinistea when exposed to a Cracked Pot or a Chipped Pot, depending on whether it is the Phony or Antique form.

Interesting Facts:

Polteageist's appearance and concept are inspired by the classic British tradition of afternoon tea.
It has two forms: the Phony Form, which is more common, and the Antique Form, which is rarer and can be identified by a mark of authenticity on the bottom of the teapot.
The idea of a ghost inhabiting a teapot may stem from tales of haunted objects and poltergeists, which are spirits known for their playful and sometimes troublesome behavior.

Sword: This species lives in antique teapots. Most pots are forgeries, but on rare occasions, an authentic work is found.
Shield: Leaving leftover black tea unattended is asking for this Pokémon to come along and pour itself into it, turning the tea into a new Polteageist.
