• You can use 50 Poltchageist Candy to evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha.

Sinistea and Polteageist Shiny Debut

For the first time in Pokémon GO, Sinistea can be shiny! They are a fantastic pale pink shiny, so easy to spot! Sinistea has two forms, the phony form, and the authentic form, distinguishable only by a stamp on their base for the authentic form. Good luck shiny hunting for the shiny authentic form!
