Poltchageist Evolution: How to Evolve

Poltchageist will evolve into Sinistcha with the use of a Teacup item. Which kind of Teacup to use depends on the Sinistcha's form; whether it is Counterfeit or Artisan.

Is Your Poltchageist Counterfeit or Artisan?

Evolving your Poltchageist to a Sinistcha depends on if you got its Counterfeit form or Artisan form. A Counterfeit Sinistea would need an Unremarkable Teacup to evolve, while the Artisan one needs a Masterpiece Teacup.

To know what form you have, an Artisan Poltchageist will have a Stamp of Authenticity found on the underside of the cup. You can check this by rotating the overworld camera.

Confirming with a Pokedex is Faster

The Pokedex also indicates the form you got right after catching it as shown above. We recommend the best method to get an Artisan form Poltchageist is to keep catching as much as you can until the Pokedex confirms you caught an Artisan one, as checking each one with the camera may take longer.

I found a mass outbreak in katakimi with a question mark but it was strange because i had already completed the Katakimi Dex. I went to it and found it was a Poltchageist mass out break but every Poltchageist was the Artisan form! (I didn’t have an artisan Poltchageist so that explains why the mass outbreak showed a question mark). I assume this means that most Poltchageist mass outbreaks are only the counterfeit form which would be good to know if your shiny hunting it.
