Polteageist · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Polteageist card
Numbered 98 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Polteageist is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Sinistea, so Polteageist is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Polteageist carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The tea that composes Polteageist's body has a distinct and enjoyable flavor. Drinking too much, however, can be fatal."
