Sinistcha

Classification: Matcha Pokémon Type: Grass / Ghost Height: 8 Weight: 4.9 lbs. Ability: Hospitality  

While Poltchageist carries a bamboo tea spoon, Sinistcha wears a bamboo tea whisk on its head. When Sinistcha stirs itself with this whisk, that means it’s ready for battle. Anything that approaches it will be met with a merciless attack in the form of a life-force-draining splash of tea.

In the past, Sinistcha would sneak into people’s homes and pretend to be a teacup on their tables, sapping the life-force from anyone who unwittingly drank from it. In recent times, however, the old-fashioned teacups these Pokémon imitate no longer see much use—rendering this strategy ineffective. Sinistcha now roam towns and suburbs after the sun goes down in search of prey—be it Pokémon or human.
New Move: Matcha Gotcha | Sinistcha uses the whisk on its head to stir itself vigorously, then it attacks by firing hot tea. Sinistcha will absorb HP from opponents hit by this move—healing itself—and the target will sometimes be left with a burn. While all Poltchageist may look alike at first glance, the Pokémon actually has two distinct forms: Counterfeit Form and Artisan Form. Sinistcha also has two forms: Unremarkable Form and Masterpiece Form. Telling either of these Pokémon apart from their alternate form requires careful inspection.
