The Pokemon Firm has launched a model new Pokemon within the type of Poltchageist.
The Grass/Ghost-type, which is able to make its debut within the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC, is seemingly both a variant or an evolution of the Era 8 Pokemon Polteageist.
It was launched through a somewhat neat trailer that mixes live-action performing with beautiful animation. The trailer takes the type of a narrative known as “The Haunting Story of Poltchageist”.
Within the trailer, we meet a tea grasp who has devoted his life to “perfecting the artwork of the tea ceremony”. The tea grasp is strict and troublesome, and through one ceremony, his teapot is cracked. He shortly repairs it, however shortly afterwards, he faints from exhaustion, and it is implied that he passes away.
After that, his tea caddy passes between completely different homeowners, till lastly, “after a few years of neglect”, the caddy seemingly develops a spirit of its personal. Shock horror, it is Poltchageist! You’ll be able to see the trailer proper right here; we will not embed it, however it’s price a watch.
Newly suffused with Poltchageist’s mischievous spirit, the tea caddy covers a girl with matcha mud, which “sap[s] a few of her power” because it returns to the caddy.
Poltchageist then flies all through the world, searching for cracks to heal with its matcha. These embody headlights, telephone display cracks, and even Tinkaton’s hammer.
It isn’t at the moment clear whether or not Polteageist evolves into Poltchageist or whether or not a Sinistea have to be developed to get it, however it may be a convergent species alongside the identical traces as Pokemon like Wiglett or Toedscool.
Both manner, the ghostly little critter is sort of cute, and it appears you’ll meet it within the upcoming The Teal Masks DLC, which launches for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on September thirteenth.
Different new Pokemon that shall be launched within the two-part DLC embody the Paradox ‘mons Raging Bolt and Iron Crown, in addition to Duraludon evolution Archaludon and legendary trickster Ogerpon.
Keep tuned for extra on all issues Pokemon. Hopefully we’ll get to fulfill a number of extra new critters earlier than the DLC arrives.
