Polteageist is a Ghost-type Pokémon (National Dex #855) with a middling stat total of 508. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 134, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Polteageist takes super-effective damage from Ghost, Dark. It is completely immune to Normal, Fighting. It resists Poison, Bug. Its ability options are Weak Armor, Cursed Body, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Polteageist evolves into Sinistea. You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Polteageist has 20 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (10), Sword & Shield (10) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Polteageist ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
