They might seem like adorable tea-themed ghosts, but they have very upsetting Pokedex entries, as drinking them can potentially kill you due to draining the life force of humans with their touch.

Poltchageist will feature a brand-new Ability that works in 2v2 battles. This Ability is called Hospitality, and when Polchageist is summoned in battle, it heals some of its ally’s hit points. According to the website,
