Of course, this particular Pokemon has received another trailer as a treat for all the Pokemon Fans that are more than thrilled to see the upcoming release of The Teal Mask this September. With a new Grass and Ghost type Pokemon, will Poltchageist be a game-changer in the current meta of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet VGC? Or will this Pokemon be a great addition to a Pokemon Master's collection? Details of this new Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet are listed below:

Name: Poltchageist
Type: Grass/Ghost
Classification: Matcha Pokemon
Height: 0.1m
Weight: 2.4lbs
Ability: Hospitality
Pokemon Description:

Poltchageist has a swirl pattern similar to the one that’s known to be Sinistea’s weak point. However, one thing that sets these species apart is that Poltchageist’s swirl is not its weak point. 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.

Poltchageist has a liking for old houses and may make its home in them. By day it remains still in cool, dark places, but once the sun sets, it begins to prowl around towns and their outskirts.
It sometimes mends cracked or broken things. In homes where it’s taken up residence, Poltchageist may even take it upon itself to repair broken tableware and other objects.
