Pokemon Scarlet And Violet’s first expansion, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask, is less than a month away. After the Pokemon Presents video earlier this month revealed new information about this new adventure, today The Pokemon Company spilled the tea on another new addition: Poltchageist, the Matcha Pokemon, will debut next month as well.
This new Pokemon, despite bearing a resemblance to the Galar region’s tea-based Sinistea, is billed as a completely separate species of Pokemon. Poltchageist’s reveal trailer featured a full backstory for the creature, which showed how it manifested through a tea master’s obsession over perfecting his tea ceremony.

Poltchageist boasts a unique ability, Hospitality, which heals a small amount of its ally’s HP when it enters a two-on-two battle. According to the game’s lore, the creature is said to “take up residence in old houses where it is sometimes known to patch up broken objects.”
