Pokédex Entries[]

Phony Form[]

Title	Entry
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword	This Pokémon is said to have been born when a lonely spirit possessed a cold, leftover cup of tea.
Pokémon Shield	The teacup in which this Pokémon makes its home is a famous piece of antique tableware. Many forgeries are in circulation.
Ninth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Scarlet	The soul of someone who died alone possessed some leftover tea. This Pokémon appears in hotels and houses.
Pokémon Violet	Sinistea gets into your body when you drink it, and then it steals your vitality from within. It also tastes awful.

Antique Form[]

Title	Entry
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword	The swirl pattern in this Pokémon's body is its weakness. If it gets stirred, the swirl loses its shape, and Sinistea gets dizzy.
Pokémon Shield	It absorbs the life-force of those who drink it. It waits patiently, but opportunities are fleeting—it tastes so bad that it gets spat out immediately.
Ninth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Scarlet	Some fanatics will go to great pains to prepare the perfect tea and teacup, eagerly waiting for a Sinistea to come and possess their selections.
Pokémon Violet	This Sinistea lives in an antique teacup. As valuable as this Pokémon is, its awful taste remains unchanged.
