Where to find Poltchageist in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Poltchageist can only be found in the Kitakami region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet:

You may also find a Terastalized Poltchageist if you’re lucky!
If you’re having trouble finding a Poltchageist, we recommend eating a sandwich or Candy Rawst Berries from the Kitakami Festival, which will increase your encounter power with Ghost-type Pokémon. After doing so, we were able to find Poltchageist drops in several bamboo forests.
One thing you should keep in mind when catching a Poltchageist is its move, Memento. This attack will cause Poltchageist to faint and make it impossible for you to catch him! For this reason, you may want to save before the battle begins.

Poltchageist’s Crafted and Forged Forms in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Explained
Poltchageist has two forms in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Counterfeit and Artisan.
Like Gen 8’s Sinistea and Polteageist, you can tell what shape a Poltchageist is by a small mark on its underside. This mark, however, is incredibly difficult to see, so you may not be able to tell which form of Poltchageist you are trying to catch.

Fortunately, the Pokédex entry you’ll receive after catching a Poltchageist will tell you whether you’re a Counterfeit or Crafted Poltchageist.

While we managed to find an Artisan Poltchageist after capturing 22 of the small Ghost type, the odds of finding this form, according to Austin John plays on X (formally known as Twitter) 1 in 1000.
only 1/100 in the wild will have this marking. When caught, it will be marked as craft form. pic.twitter.com/dwIIhHduZZ

If you want to hunt down an Artisan Poltchageist, we recommend increasing your encounter power with Ghost-type Pokémon and saving before the battle begins in case Poltchageist decides to use Memento.
Although we have not been able to confirm if this method will work, you may also be able to see the Craftsman’s mark on a Poltchageist before or during battle. (That is if you can see it).

How to evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
To evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you must first find one of two teacups, and the exact cup will depend on which form of Poltchageist you want to evolve.
A counterfeit Poltchageist requires a cup of uncomplicated tea and will evolve into a uncomplicated Sinistcha.
An Artisan Poltchageist requires a Masterpiece Teacup and will evolve into a Masterpiece Sinsitcha.
No matter which form of Poltchageist you want to evolve, the method is always the same: find the correct teacup in the “Other Items” pocket of your bag and select “Use this item” followed by the Poltchageist you want to evolve.

After evolving, Sinsitcha will always be able to learn the Matcha Gotcha move. Unremarkable and Masterpiece Sinsitcha also have different entries in the Pokédex.

Inconspicuous location of the teacup in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
The Uncomplicated Teacup can be found in a cave within the Paradise Barrens, directly south of the second historical sign, in the Kitakami region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

If you haven’t found it, the easiest way to get the Cup of Tea without any hassle is to fast travel to the Paradise Barrens and then turn south, as you’ll be able to easily see the cave.

At the time of writing, we have only found one uncomplicated cup of tea.
Masterpiece Teacup Location in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
The Masterpiece Teacup can be found in a cave along the southern edge of the Timeless Woods in the Kitakami region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The entrance to the cave is along the western edge of Timeless Woods and there will most likely be a Snorlax sleeping at its entrance.

As of this writing, we have only found one Masterpiece teacup, so use it wisely.
Good luck finding a Poltchageist masterpiece!
