Poltchageist

is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poltchageist is a Pokémon made of green matcha tea powder that inhabits a tea caddy; specifically a chaire, a kind used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The tea caddy is primarily black and white, with a white lid, a sealed crack near the top, and a painted pattern resembling a face. Poltchageist is always seen carrying a chashaku, the tea scoop used to transfer tea powder into the tea bowl in the aforementioned tea ceremony.
Poltchageist heavily resembles Sinistea, although they are not biologically related. On top of its matcha body, just below its lid, is a yellow swirl pattern similar to the one found on Sinistea. Despite having a yellow swirl pattern on its body similar to Sinistea, the swirl is not its weak spot.
According to an old tale, an old tea master, who was so obsessed with perfecting the art of the tea ceremony that he drove away everyone around him, and supposedly, the regrets of the tea ceremony master died before perfecting his craft lingered in some matcha and became Poltchageist. 
===Behavior===
Poltchageist prefers to inhabit worn down buildings. Poltchageist is more active at night than during the day, prowling around towns and their outskirts. By day, Poltchageist dwells in cool, dark places — usually in old houses, which is its favorite.
Poltchageist are also known for fixing broken items with their powder, sometimes even taking the liberty of using their craftsmanship to restore tableware and other items in houses.
===Natural Abilities===
Poltchageist’s body is made entirely of a matcha powder. Poltchageist tends to scatter its matcha powder on people and food. If someone touches or ingests the powder, they will notice their skin apparently glowing for a brief moment, before they fall unconscious as their life force is sapped away by the powder for Poltchageist to use as energy. It is capable of draining energy in this way from many people at once.

===Origin===
While its convergent counterpart is based on a more European tea set, Poltchageist appears to be based on a stone tea jar, holding a chashaku. Poltchageist is based on Japanese Matcha Green Tea. It may also be based on a tsukumogami, being an inanimate household object come to life. Additionally, due to the way it repairs broken objects, it may be based on the process of kintsugi. 
Its habit of scattering powder on people is a reference to the Sandman, a mythical being who scatters sand on people to make them fall asleep.
===Etymology===
Poltchageist may be a combination of poltergeist (a ghost responsible for levitating/possessing objects), Polteageist (a Pokémon very similar to it) and Matcha (Japanese green tea).
