Latest revision as of 18:15, 5 April 2024

Polteageist (Japanese: ポットデス, Hepburn: Pottodesu) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology

Physiology

Polteageist resembles a purple ghost living in a teapot. It has a pair of yellow swirly eyes and a purple body. Its feet dangles at the bottom of its body as well.

Both the phony and antique versions are nearly similar to each other; the antique version has a mark on the bottom, whereas the phony does not.

Behavior

If it gains its Trainer's trust, Polteageist may allow its tea to be sampled. However, anyone who consumes this type of tea in large amounts will have an upset stomach.

Polteageist seeks refuge within hotels and eating establishments, camouflaging itself amongst tableware. It is able to multiple itself via transferring its own powers inside leftover tea. Because of this, Polteageist is often considered to be a pest.

Natural abilities

Polteageist's body is made entirely out of black tea, which is believed to have a very distinct aroma and flavor.

However if drunk too much, it may also induce indigestion, stomach aches, and even could cause a fatal death.
