Close

Poltchageist has low stats and like any Pokémon at the base level of a multi-evolution line, it is just meant to help you collect Candy and evolve. Don't use it in Raids or Gyms.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Poltchageist is decent in the Little Cup, using the ever useful Ghost-type coverage as well as its Grass perks to beat strong opponents like Barboach, Wooper, Drifloon, Bulbasaur, Shadow Oddish, Wynaut, Chansey, and Vigoroth. Beyond these, Poltchageist can hardly muster any other wins, leaving it as an underwhelming option.

🔵 Great League

Poltchageist’s absolutely terrible DEF and poor stats in general put it in a huge disadvantage in the Great League. Besides, its max CP is only 1287.

Poltchageist is too weak for the Ultra and Master League.
