Sinistea is a good option for a Pokemon player, who wants to catch pure Ghost-Type Pokémon.
What is Sinistea
Sinistea is a monotype creature and a pure Ghost-type Pokemon, who lives in a teacup.
Abilities of Sinistea
Sinistea Pokemon has two abilities:
- Weak Armor: When Sinistea hits by an attack, this ability helps to increase its speed by two stages.
- Cursed Body: When Sinistea hits by an attack, this ability helps to disable that attack with a 30% possibility.
Forms of Sinistea
There are two forms of Sinistea:
- Phony Form
- Antique Form
You can differentiate between these two forms with the help of the authenticity stamp, which will be found on the bottom of the teacup. If you found an authenticity stamp on the bottom of the teacup, then the Sinistea is an Antique Sinistea.
In this guide, we will discuss about how to find, catch and evolve a Sinistea. So, let’s get started with our guide!
How to find a Sinistea
Unlike other Pokémon, there is very rare to spawn Sinistea. There are 60% chance of spawning Sinistea in ruins and a 30% chance in town. You will spawn Sinistea only in two areas.
The first one is South Province (Area Six): This is located around the city of Alfornada and contains the underground Alfornada Cavern.
The second great place to look for Sinistea is the East Province (Area Three): It is located in the north of Levincia, and you will almost certainly go through the city to get here. It connects to a small section of East Province (Area Two) in the east, as well as Tagtree Thicket in the northwest. You will find the town of Zapapico on the region’s western edge.

How to catch Sinistea
You will be able to catch the Sinistea if the minimum level of at least one Pokemon is 40 because the starting level of Sinistea is 38 (38 to 45). It is recommended that you should eat a sandwich that will help you to increase the encounter rate against ghost-type Pokémon to catch Sinistea easily. Once you find the Sinistea, initiate the battle. Use the attacks that are harmful or effective on the ghost-type Pokémon. Once the HP of Sinistea will change to red, throw your Poke Ball to catch Sinistea.
How to evolve Sinistea
Phony Sinistea can be evolved into a Polteageist by obtaining Cracked Teapot from the vendor. But to evolve Antique Sinistea into a Polteageist, you will have to obtain Chipped Teapot from the vendor.
