Poltchageist is Pokédex #1012, generation 9 (Paldea). Poltchageist is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 30 HP.

Poltchageist sits at 5/84 in Pitch Black, position 5 of 120. Before it is 4 Lurantis ex, and after it is 6 Sinistcha. The set belongs to the Mega Evolution series. It was released on July 17, 2026. The printed size is 84. This checklist is longer, at 120 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

Hide 'n' Sneak is listed as Ability. Prevent all effects of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks and Abilities done to this Pokémon. (Damage is not an effect.) The attack Furtive Drop lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Place 1 damage counter on your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "Poltchageist looks like a regional form of Sinistea, but it was recently discovered that the two Pokémon are entirely unrelated." The regulation mark is J.

Poltchageist (#1012) has 3 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 1 set. The other dated printings are from 2024. The earliest other card is Poltchageist 20/167 in Twilight Masquerade (2024). Both list 30 HP. Both list the rarity Common. MINAMINAMI Take illustrated that card, and Mousho illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is H, and here it is J. 1 other cards of Poltchageist list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mousho. I count 12 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pitch Black set binder is where a full Pitch Black set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Poltchageist can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
