More Details And Trailer Shared About New Pokemon Poltchageist

The Pokemon Company has released more information about the newly revealed Pokemon Poltchageist.

Aside from re-confirming that it is a Grass/Ghost Type, the new details also reveal that it has an exclusive ability called Hospitality, which allows it to heal it’s ally Pokemon when sent out. Strangely, the Pokemon is described as bearing resemblance to Sinistea as opposed to its namesame Polteageist, suggesting that there may be a lot more to this new Pokemon than meets the eye.

You can check out a summary of the details below, along with a gameplay trailer showing off its characteristics in battle:

Category: Matcha Pokémon

Type: Grass/Ghost

Height: 4″

Weight: 2.4 lbs.

Ability: Hospitality

Though Ecologically Similar to Sinistea, It’s a Completely Different Pokémon

Poltchageist has a swirl pattern similar to the one that’s known to be Sinistea’s weak point. However, one thing that sets these species apart is that Poltchageist’s swirl is not its weak point.

After a target is sprinkled with some of Poltchageist’s powdery body or eats food dusted with it, Poltchageist drains their life-force and absorbs it as energy.

It Lives in Old Houses and May Even Patch Up Broken Tableware

Poltchageist has a liking for old houses and may make its home in them. By day it remains still in cool, dark places, but once the sun sets, it begins to prowl around towns and their outskirts.

It sometimes mends cracked or broken things. In homes where it’s taken up residence, Poltchageist may even take it upon itself to repair broken tableware and other objects.

New Ability: Hospitality

Poltchageist’s Ability, Hospitality, is being introduced in the DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. When a Pokémon with this Ability enters a battle, it showers its ally with hospitality, restoring a small amount of the ally’s HP.
