Just in time to warm you up during these cold winter days, Pokémon Go’s Just My Cup of Tea event introduces Galar’s two ghostly tea creatures to the mobile game for the first time. Alongside Sinistea and Polteageist’s arrival, you can encounter a range of themed Pokémon in the wild and during raids throughout the event.
Two of the best gen 8 Pokémon are finally joining Pokémon Go in the Just My Cup of Tea event – the spooky Sinistea and paranormal Polteageist. Of course, in a region themed around the British Isles, The Pokémon Company had to introduce a tea-themed ‘mon for us to collect, and we all fell in love with it. Unlike in the Switch game, you don’t have to worry about whether your Sinistea is genuine or not, as you can evolve any teacup you find into a haunted teapot with just 50 Sinistea candies.
While you’re out hunting for Sinistea in the wild, you’ll also be more likely to find a range of themed Pokémon on your travels, like Oddish, Duskull, and Gothita, so make sure you stock up on Pokéballs before heading out. You’ll also get 50% more stardust and double the friendship bonus damage in raids during the event, so take the opportunity to challenge Genesect (Chill Drive) in five-star raids and Mega Banette in mega raids. You could even catch a shiny one!
