Evolution

Methods are the current official ones. A ROM hack may change them — trade evolutions especially; the guide table below says which do.

In the ROM hacks it evolves differently

Each guide's own line, in the words its creator published.

Moves

Poltchageist is not in any of the 16 official games this site covers (Red & Blue through Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon), so there is no learnset here yet.

Where to find it in the official games

Not obtainable in the wild in any of the 16 official games this site covers. In those games it has to be evolved, traded or bred — or it belongs to a game whose data is not here yet.

Where to find it in the ROM hacks

7 guides on this site put it somewhere you can catch it. Areas link to that guide's own route page, with its own rates and levels.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
