Read more ↓Polteageist, the Black Tea Pokémon, is a Ghost-type introduced in Generation VIII, hailing from the Galar region. It evolves from Sinistea, which itself has two forms: Phony Form and Antique Form, with Polteageist's form depending on its pre-evolution. Polteageist's unique biology centers around it inhabiting antique teapots, often being mistaken for a mere household item. Its Pokédex entries emphasize that most Polteageist are forgeries, residing in mass-produced teapots, while truly authentic ones, those that have inhabited genuine antique teapots, are exceedingly rare and highly prized. In the games, Polteageist is known for its special attack prowess and ability to learn a wide range of moves. In the anime, it has made appearances showcasing its mischievous nature and spectral abilities, often playing pranks or causing minor disturbances. Its design, a ghostly entity emerging from a teapot, draws heavily from British tea culture and folklore, particularly the idea of spirits inhabiting everyday objects. This cultural connection adds to its charm and distinctiveness within the Pokémon universe, making it a memorable addition to the Ghost-type roster.
