In Pokemon Sword and Shield, you’ll find a cute little spirit in a teacup named Sinistea. Its design has the same appealing qualities Chip from Beauty and the Beast has, but everything about its description betrays its adorable design. See, Sinistea has two forms based on the teacup it possesses: a forgery version and a genuine version.
If you have the genuine article, you have nothing to worry about. The teacup is a fine piece of tableware, after all. If you have a forged version of Sinistea, don’t drink out of it — ever. It literally absorbs your life force, but it also tastes absolutely horrible. It gets worse when a forged Sinistea evolves into Polteageist, taking the form of a teapot. Once evolved, it uses its disgusting tea as a weapon, launching the vile liquid directly into the mouths of its enemies. This tea, according to the Pokedex, “causes strong chills if swallowed.” So whatever you do, do not carry around forged versions of these two Pokemon.
