| Flavor Text | ||
 | Sword | This species lives in antique teapots. Most pots are forgeries, but on rare occasions, an authentic work is found. |
| Shield | Leaving leftover black tea unattended is asking for this Pokémon to come along and pour itself into it, turning the tea into a new Polteageist. | |
| Sword | Trainers Polteageist trusts will be allowed to experience its distinctive flavor and aroma firsthand by sampling just a tiny bit of its tea. |
| Shield | When angered, it launches tea from its body at the offender's mouth. The tea causes strong chills if swallowed. | |
