Phony FormAntique Form
Sinistea has a unique special form only available rarely in the wild. The standard forms are considered forgeries but very rarely a real one can be found. The form has no stat or level differences but changes evolution method. The only visible difference can only really be seen when Dynamaxing as it has an authenticity stamp on the underside. The Antique Form does not breed down, any Antique Form parents produce Forgery Form offspring

Flavor Text
Sinistea SpriteSwordThis Pokémon is said to have been born when a lonely spirit possessed a cold, leftover cup of tea.
ShieldThe teacup in which this Pokémon makes its home is a famous piece of antique tableware. Many forgeries are in circulation.
Sinistea SpriteSwordThe swirl pattern in this Pokémon's body is its weakness. If it gets stirred, the swirl loses its shape, and Sinistea gets dizzy.
ShieldIt absorbs the life-force of those who drink it. It waits patiently, but opportunities are fleeting— it tastes so bad that it gets spat out immediately.
