Haunted Teapots are Coming to "Pokémon Sword & Shield"

If you've ever sat back and thought, "you know what we need? A haunted teapot Pokémon!" then the latest Nintendo Direct was absolutely the stream for you. Nintendo released a ton of new details for Pokémon Sword & Shield, which included a look at two new Pokémon, a look at some cosmetics, and even a log of how many curry and rice dishes you've tried.

Polteageist is one of the of the new characters shown during the Direct stream, and is the kind of Ghost-type creature that hides among dishes in hotels and restaurants. Because its body is made of tea. Hell, you can even drink Polteageit's tea. So naturally, this guy hides in teapots. No, we're not kidding.

Meanwhile, the flying and water-type hybrid Cramorant will swallow just about anything, because it is a giant gaping maw.

Lastly, the company showed off a number of new cosmetic options, a bit of the new Wild Area, and the new cooking feature that lets you create a number of different Curry and Rice dishes.

The full details from Nintendo read:

• Polteageist is a ghost-type Pokémon, and makes a home for itself by hiding among dishes at hotels and restaurants. Its body is made of tea, and it may even let a trusting Trainer have a taste of its tea. The flying- and water-type Pokémon Cramorant will swallow absolutely anything that looks hearty enough. It has an exclusive ability called Gulp Missile. While using Surf or Dive in battle, it will counter when attacked.
• Players will be able to travel through the new Galar region in style. In this game, players can outfit their main Trainer in tops, bottoms, outerwear, gloves, new hairstyles and even a little makeup. During their journey, players can camp any time at Pokémon Camp. While there, players can play with Pokémon and get to know them better. In the new Wild Area, players can visit other players' camps as well. Up to four players and their Pokémon can hang out at a camp together. Pokémon Camp is also a great place to cook up some Curry on Rice. In Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, there are many types of delicious Curry on Rice that can be registered to the Curry Dex.
