Poltchageist (Japanese: チャデス Chadesu) is a Grass/Ghost Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, in The Teal Mask.
Biology
Poltchageist is a Pokémon that is similar to a tea caddy, specifically from the Japanese traditional tea ceremony. Their nature is to fill up any crevasses using a similar technique of Kintsugi, but instead of gold, it will use matcha powder within it's body.
Poltchageist are said to be created from the regrets of an old tea master. Additionally, it also tends to scatter its powder on people and food. If it lands on people, they will see their skin to glow, but not until it takes their life force, taking the strength leaving them unconscious. It has a strong desire to fix anything that breaks. It will drain the life force out of anyone who breaks anything it sees. It is strong enough to drain many humans at once.
Trivia
- Poltchageist was first teased during the 2023 World Championships, where attendees were given a tea ceremony set with the date of the reveal. Another tease was from the Official Pokémon website having a matcha powder theme background. Finally, a Kitakami poster foreshadows the ghost tale.
Origin

Name origin
Poltchageist may be a combination of poltergeist or Polteageist and 抹茶 matcha.
