| Flavor Text |
 | Scarlet | The tea that composes Polteageist's body has a distinct and enjoyable flavor. Drinking too much, however, can be fatal. |
Violet | These Pokémon multiply by creeping into teapots and pouring themselves into leftover tea. | | Scarlet | Apparently a Polteageist's disposition is affected by the type of tea the Pokémon came from. What teapot it inhabits makes no difference. |
Violet | Though risky to drink, this Pokémon's tea tastes delicious. Gourmets who have no fear of danger drink Polteageist tea day after day. |
