Features

Pokémon Debuts

Sinistea, the Black Tea Pokémon, and its Evolution, Polteageist, make their Pokémon GO debuts!

You can use 50 Sinistea Candy to evolve Sinistea into Polteageist.

Sinistea also has a Antique form that costs 400 Sinistea Candy to evolve. You can appraise Sinistea and your Team Leader tell you if it’s the Phony or Antique Form. Normally there is a stamped emblem under the cup but currently there is no visual difference between the two. (It’s possible it’s viewable in AR).
