Poltchageist is a Grass/Ghost type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9.

Available in The Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.

Poltchageist has a swirl pattern not unlike Sinistea's - but unlike Sinistea, its swirl is not a weakness. 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.​
