Polteageist

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Polteageist resembles a purple ghost living in a teapot. It has a pair of yellow swirly eyes and a purple body. Its feet dangles at the bottom of its body as well.
Both the phony and antique versions are nearly similar to each other; the antique version has a mark on the bottom, whereas the phony does not.
===Behavior===
If it gains its Trainer's trust, Polteageist may allow its tea to be sampled. However, anyone who consumes this type of tea in large amounts will have an upset stomach.
Polteageist seeks refuge within hotels and eating establishments, camouflaging itself amongst tableware. It is able to multiple itself via transferring its own powers inside leftover tea. Because of this, Polteageist is often considered to be a pest.
===Natural abilities===
Polteageist's body is made entirely out of black tea, which is believed to have a very distinct aroma and flavor.
However if drunk too much, it may also induce indigestion, stomach aches, and even could cause a fatal death.

==Trivia==
*Polteageist is the first pure -type Pokémon since Generation V.
*Polteageist is similar to Rotom and Honedge:
**All are based on the concept of a ghosts/specters living inside an inanimate object.
**Polteageist, Rotom, and Honedge are all types, with Polteageist having a single type as Rotom is part type and Honedge is part type.
*Despite being called the "Black Tea" Pokémon, the color of Polteageist's core body is purple, presumably to avoid the controversy incident relating to Jynx's future anime adaption appearances as of Advance Generation or possibly because black tea is not actually black in color.
*Polteageist and Ribombee tie for the shortest fully evolved Pokémon, both being 8 inches tall.
===Origin===
Polteageist is most likely based on a ghost inhabiting a teapot, while the ghost itself is based on black tea. More specifically, it may be inspired by the morinji-no-okama, a yōkai spirit from Japanese folklore that manifests as a possessed tea kettle. Another figure from Japanese folklore is may take inspiration from is the tsukumogami, objects in Japanese folklore that gain a spirit, with Polteageist being a teapot literally "filled" with spirit. It may also be based on the stereotypical action of ghosts lifting objects to make it seem as though they are floating. It may also be based on a poltergeist, a type of ghost that possesses objects.
===Etymology===
Polteageist is a combination of "poltergeist" and "tea".
Its Japanese name, Pottodesu, comes from "pot" and "death". It is also a pun on potto desu (it is a teapot).
