Poltchageist revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on August 22, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have just unveiled a new Pokemon, with Poltchageist being added to the games. It’s both a Grass and Ghost type.
Poltchageist will be introduced in the first DLC wave for the titles, The Teal Mask. News about the Pokemon was shared in a video just published by The Pokemon Company. Other information is likely to follow soon as often we’ll see an initial reveal followed by a more formal announcement with an in-game trailer (update: see overview below).
Here’s what’s been shared thus fair, straight from The Pokemon Company:
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.
