After a chilling new Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em> DLC trailer introduced us to Poltchageist, the convergent counterpart of Sinistea, the Grass\/Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon is looking to be an interesting meta pick in VGC when it becomes legal\u2014but something is holding it back.<\/p>
While Poltchageist might just look like the matcha form of Sinistea, who\u2019s nowhere to be seen in the VGC meta, the new DLC Pok\u00e9mon comes equipped with a brand new Ability, Hospitality, that works perfectly in VGC\u2019s double format. Whenever the matcha ghost switches into battle, Hospitality will heal its ally\u2019s HP. <\/p>
Depending on Poltchageist\u2019s stats and how much HP the Ability heals, this could have a place in the meta, according to pro VGC players Jeudy Azzarelli<\/a> and Neil Patel.<\/p>

But, unfortunately for Poltchageist, its typing may hold it back.<\/p>
On top of having Brambleghast with the same exact typing, we also already have a Grass Pok\u00e9mon that likes to heal its allies and switch in and out\u2014Amoonguss, the best support Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> right now. The little fungus has already won three World Championships<\/a>, the most recent being this year on Shohei Kimura\u2019s winning team, and it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s going to stop anytime soon.<\/p>
