Summary
APokemon Scarlet and Violetfan has just created a design concept for an evolutionary form of Poltchageist, the latest pocket creature announced for the game’s upcoming DLC. With the first part ofScarlet and Violet’s The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLCcoming in a few weeks, it seems like the right time for the developers to unveil the new Pokemon that players will encounter in the update.
The reveal ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Poltchageistseems to have already garnered a lot of interest from the online community. This is not surprising, given how the fan base looks primed and ready for more reveals after the Paradox forms of Raikou and Cobalion and evolution form for Applin were recently unveiled. With the addition of Poltchageist into theScarlet and VioletPokedex, it is likely that the Pokemon will be the subject of many creative fans' pieces, whether its an evolution concept or designs for a possible Paradox or Tera form.

On Reddit, user HertzBurst shared a design concept for an evolutionary form ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Poltchageist. Calling it “Sinischa,” the design seems to take inspiration fromSword and Shield’s Ghost-type Polteageist. However, instead of having an English-looking teapot body, the Pokemon uses a Japanese-looking teapot that is traditionally used for brewing and pouring the country’s famous green tea. The evolved form also holds a matcha green tea whisk in one of its hands, tying the whole theme together.
HertzBurst’s design seems very apt, given that Poltchageist is heavily-inspired by Japanese green tea, and will be found in theJapanese-themed Kitakami Village in The Teal Mask DLC. On the forums, fellowPokemon Scarlet and Violetfans seemed to enjoy the design concept, with one stating that they feel like the developers will actually reveal an evolved form that is similar to the artist’s work. Some also discussed the naming convention for the current roster of tea-inspired Pokemon, namely Polteageist and Sinistea, arguing what differentiates the pocket creatures from each other and whether the Pokemon is actually the tea or the pot.
Nevertheless, thePokemon Scarlet and Violetcommunitycan probably expect more design concepts from HertzBurst in the future. They have already contributed a lot of Paradox form fan art for fellow fans to enjoy, and this evolved form for Poltchageist will likely not be the last. Hopefully they also share their pieces when more new Pokemon are announced for the second part ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s DLC.
