Sinistea, a new black tea-themed species, arrives in Pokémon GO as Niantic introduces a new Season of gameplay: Dual Destiny.

Along with getting to get a Sinistea and Polteageist in Pokémon Go for the first time, Just My Cup of Tea has an assortment of event bonuses, Field Research tasks, Incense encounters and wild encounters - along with the various bosses in this month's Raid schedule for December.

To get Polteageist in Pokémon Go, you must evolve Sinistea with 50 candy. If you are in the need of extra candy to either evolve or level your Sinistea, consider trading a spare with a friend, as you’ll receive candy for the outgoing Pokémon when you do. Otherwise, using Rare Candy can help top you up with the candy you need to evolve.

Sinistea makes its Pokémon GO debut during the Just My Cup of Tea event, which runs from December 3, 2024, at 10:00 AM to December 7, 2024, at 8:00 PM local time.
