Poltergeist Effect

Has the user create a zone of mysterious power, as well as mirages of floating furniture - such as tables and chairs - inside it. Any opposing Pokemon that comes in contact with a mirage takes damage and has its movement speed decreased. Opposing Pokemon that step on the zone's border will also have their movement speed decreased.

How to Use Poltergeist

Place at Tight Spots

Place Poltergeist at tight spots like entrances. Doing so ensures enemies are slowed and have a higher chance of colliding with the floating furnitures.

Place Inside Grass

Grass areas are also spots that Poltergeist can be extremely effective. It can force enemies that might be hiding inside to reveal themselves.

Zone Out Enemies

Use Poltergeist to zone out enemies and discourage them from approaching. This tactic is useful when attempting to secure objectives like Regieleki and Rayquaza.
