Polteageist moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Polteageist starts every run with Shadow Ball: a shadowy orb that pierces several foes.
The level-up cards can then offer 11 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 3 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Ghost moves: Lick, Shadow Ball, Hex
Weaknesses and resistances
Polteageist takes extra damage from Ghost (1.6x) and Dark (1.6x). It resists Normal (0.3x), Fighting (0.3x), Poison (0.6x), and Bug (0.6x). The remaining 12 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Polteageist are the ones whose first type is Ghost or Dark. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Ghost moves do not hit harder just because Polteageist shares the type.
How to get Polteageist
Polteageist is part of the Galar banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 25 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Polteageist a 0.26% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 385 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Polteageist exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Polteageist as an enemy
Polteageist can show up as a regular enemy from 4:20 into the run (enemy tier 4 and 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is chaser: it walks straight at you and hurts you on contact.
It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, a ring of shots, and falling danger zones.
