Pokemon Scarlet/Violet Polteageist Guide: Pokedex, location, moveset, evolution

Last Updated on: 23rd November 2022, 01:53 pm

Polteageist is a returning Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, first introduced in the generation 8 games Pokemon Sword/Shield.

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet takes players to the Paldea region, which is based on Spain and the iconic architecture of its towns and cities.

Here is everything you need to know about Polteageist in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, including Pokedex, where to find and evolve, and moveset.

Pokedex Data

• Type: Ghost
• Resistances: Normal, Fighting, Poison, Bug
• Weaknesses: Ghost, Dark
• Scarlet Entry: Apparently a Polteageist’s disposition is affected by the type of tea the Pokémon came from. What teapot it inhabits makes no difference.
• Violet Entry: Though risky to drink, this Pokémon’s tea tastes delicious. Gourmets who have no fear of danger drink Polteageist tea day after day.
• Scarlet Entry (Phony Form): The tea that composes Polteageist’s body has a distinct and enjoyable flavor. Drinking too much, however, can be fatal.
• Violet Entry (Phony Form): These Pokémon multiply by creeping into teapots and pouring themselves into leftover tea.

Where to find Polteageist

Polteagiest cannot be found in the wild, and instead must be evolved from Sinistea.

How to evolve Polteageist

Sinistea evolves into Polteageist using an item. If the Sinistea is a Phony form, it requires a Cracked pot. If the Sinistea is an antique form, it needs a Chipped pot to evolve instead.
