Sinistea is a tea-cup-shaped ghost-type Paldean Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. It has received a new 9th Generation regional form in the game. You can further evolve this Pokemon into a Polteageist to further boost its abilities and stats. To do that, you must first catch a Sinistea in Pokemon SV and fill up your Pokedex.
If you are having trouble finding Sinistea during your adventures, keep reading to know where they normally roam in the games.
Sinistea location in Pokemon SV
Locating Sinistea can be a bit of a headache for you in Pokemon SV. It is a very small Pokemon in size and can be hard to spot. Moreover, it spawns very rarely. Lucky for you, we have found a location in Pokemon SV where this Pokemon can easily be located.
All you need to do is head to the bottom left side of the map. Once you go there, there will be a location known as Alfornada on your map. After reaching Alfornada, head towards the left side of it near some bushes. You’ll see Sinistea roaming around.
How to catch a Sinistea
Now, most of the time, Sinistea will put up a fight which makes it very difficult for you to capture it using a Pokeball. As you throw one at it, it will get aggressive and put up a fight. In this situation, take out your strongest fire-type, ghost-type, or dark-type Pokemon to fight it. It is weak against these Pokemon so you’ll have a decent chance against it.
Decrease its health first until it is close to being knocked out, and then throw a Pokeball toward it again to capture it. You should have no trouble catching Sinistea in Pokemon SV now.
