Poltchageist, the Matcha Pokémon, is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX as part of the Kitakami region. This peculiar Pokémon is known for its eerie resemblance to a traditional matcha bowl, often found haunting old, abandoned homes and teahouses. Its body is composed of powdered matcha, which it uses to absorb the life force of unsuspecting victims. Poltchageist is believed to be a distant relative of Sinistea, though recent research has revealed they are entirely unrelated, sharing only a superficial resemblance and a penchant for possessing teaware. It evolves into Sinistcha after being exposed to a specific item, either a Chipped Pot or a Masterpiece Teapot, depending on its form. In the games, Poltchageist adds a unique flavor to the regional Pokémon, often appearing in areas rich in historical or cultural significance. Its Grass/Ghost typing gives it interesting matchups, being weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, Ghost, and Dark types, while resisting Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Poison, and being immune to Normal and Fighting attacks. Its presence in the anime often involves comedic or spooky interactions, highlighting its mischievous nature.
