Like its British tea counterparts, Poltchageist requires an item to evolve into Sinistcha in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask. The item you need is based on the form of Poltchageist. Here’s how to evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha.
How to Evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
If you’re trying to evolve the common Counterfeit Form, you’ll need to find an Unremarkable Teacup in a rather remarkable location. If you’re trying to evolve the rare Artisan Form, you’ll instead need a Masterpiece Teacup.

The Unremarkable Teacup can be found in a cave in the Paradise Barrens, right outside the story’s third signpost. The item is in a glowing Poké Ball, so it can be seen easily even from outside the cave.

To find the Masterpiece Teacup, you’ll need to enter the southernmost cave in the Timeless Woods. You’ll know you’re at the right cave because a Snorlax is sleeping at the entrance.

How to Use the Teacup Items to Evolve Poltchageist in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask
![A screenshot of the Unremarkable teacup item in the Other Items bag pocket in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask.](https://primagames.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Using-the-Unremarkable-Teacup-in-Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet-The-Teal-Mask.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Using the Unremarkable or Masterpiece Teacup is just like using any other item on your Pokémon: you can find it in your Other Items pocket of your Bag. Just by hovering over the item, you can see what Pokémon it’s compatible with. This is a quick way to check if your Poltchageist is Counterfeit (compatible with Unremarkable) or Artisan (compatible with Masterpiece).
Select the correct item and the Poltchageist to use it on, and you’ll have yourself a Sinistcha!
