How to Get Sinistea Chips

Defeat Members of the Sinistea Family

The fastest way to collect Sinistea Chips is by clearing out the groups of Sinistea and their evolutions in the locations listed below. It is best to take them out using autobattles from the Let's Go mechanic to help speed up the process.

Best Sinistea Location

Sinistea Location

Southwest corner of the map

Although Sinistea is available right outside Zapapico, they are in small numbers, and even after eating a Sandwich which boosts Ghost-type Pokemon Encounters, you'll have a tough time finding them. The most reliable location is the Ruins in South Province (Area Six), which are difficult to reach, and requires the Jump Upgrade via defeating the Steel Titan, Orthworm, near Zapapico.

To get there, go south along the path from the West Province (Area One) - Central Pokemon Center, until you reach a cave with high level Pokemon – you'll find the town of Alfornado on the other end, where the Ruins are.

You dont need jump upgrade. If you start a battle with a pokemon on the ledge just inside the entrance you will get warped up on top, from there you can leave the battle and no other parts of the cave require jump upgrade. This does work, I have done it myself.
