Sinistea

() is a -type introduced in Generation VIII. It evolves into Polteageist.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sinistea resembles a living teacup with a face-like pattern. Its body is purple with a yellow swirly pattern. Its hand grips a white glass piece, taking on the appearance of a cup handle. 
Both the phony and the antique forms are nearly identical; the only difference between the two is that the antique cup has a mark on the bottom, whereas the phony does not.
===Behavior===
Sineastea were said to be created when a lonely spirit possessed a cold cup of tea. The tea does not taste good, as it tries to make people drink it, only to be spat out almost immediately. Spinning the swirl on its head makes it dizzy.
===Evolution===
Phony Form Sinistea evolves into Phony Form Polteageist using a Cracked Pot, while Antique Form Sinistea evolves into Antique Form Polteageist using a Chipped Pot.

==Trivia==
*Despite its category, it is purple in appearance. This may be due to the fact that black tea isn't literally black.
===Origin===
Sinistea's design is based on a teacup filled with black tea. 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. It also may be based on a tsukumogami, objects in Japanese folklore that gain a spirit, with Sinistea being a cup literally "filled" with spirit.
===Etymology===
Sinistea is a combination of "sinister" and "tea".
Its Japanese name, Yabacha, comes from yabai (dangerous) and cha (tea).
