Summary
Sinistea is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
Type: Ghost
Abilities:
- Weak Armor: Physical attacks lower Defense and raise Speed.
- Cursed Body (Hidden Ability): May disable a move used on the Pokémon.
Physical Characteristics:
- Sinistea appears as a small, spectral creature that inhabits a teacup.
- The teacup is ornate with a blue and white design, featuring a distinctive crack.
- Its body is a swirling, purple mist that forms a ghostly face within the cup.
Behavior and Habitat:
- Sinistea is commonly found in old, abandoned mansions, reflecting its ghostly nature.
- It is said to be a spirit that possesses leftover tea, leading to its eerie presence.
- Sinistea is known to be quite shy, often hiding when it senses humans nearby.
In Battle:
- Sinistea specializes in special attacks and has access to a variety of spectral moves.
- Notable moves include Poltergeist and Shadow Ball, which capitalize on its Ghost typing.
- Strong against Psychic and Ghost types, but weak against Dark types.
- Its Weak Armor ability can be strategically used to increase its Speed, making it a swift attacker after taking a hit.
Evolution:
- Sinistea evolves into Polteageist when exposed to a Cracked Pot.
- There are two forms of Sinistea: Phony Form and Antique Form, depending on the authenticity of its teacup. Only Antique Form Sinistea can evolve using a Chipped Pot.
Interesting Facts:
- Sinistea's concept is a nod to the British tradition of tea drinking, with its design inspired by antique teacups.
- Its evolution, Polteageist, continues the theme by inhabiting a teapot.
- Sinistea's Antique Form is rarer and is marked by a seal of authenticity on the bottom of the cup.
- It's said that drinking from a Sinistea teacup can curse the drinker, although this is likely just a myth tied to its ghostly nature.
