Sinistea evolution is for one of the newest Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Sword and Shield. It is reminiscent of the cultural importance of tea in the United Kingdom, the region from which the Galar Region takes a lot of inspiration. How does Sinistea evolve, where is it located, and how do its stats compare in terms of competitive battling?
The real one has a mark of authenticity on the bottom of the teapot. The seal is small and blue and can be found on Polteageist as well as Sinistea.

Also, using Cracked Pots as the evolution gives you the fake version while Chipped Pots are for “real” Polteageist.
Sinistea Evolution
Sinistea, a ghost type, takes the form of a haunted coffee cup, similar to Chip from Beauty and the Beast. By using a Chipped Pot on Sinistea, similar to an evolution stone, the ghost inhabiting the tea cup will move to the pot and become Polteageist.
Sinistea Location
Sinistea can be found in the wild at the Glimwood Tangle, as well as in Max Raid Battles at Giant's Mirror, South Lake Miloch, Stony Wilderness, and Watchtower Ruins. At the Glimwood Tangle, Sinistea's rarity is pretty much in the middle, with a 10 percent spawn rate at level 34 to level 36 on most encounters.
Sinstea Stats
Given the fact that Sinistea is the first form in its evolutionary line, its stats are nothing special, even after evolving into Polteageist. Your best bet is to evolve it as soon as possible to complete the Pokedex and then toss it in the PC Box.
