How do you get Sinistea in Pokémon GO?

The Just My Cup of Tea event in Pokémon GO will debut Sinistea into the game. Known as the 'Black Tea Pokémon', Sinistea will also be debuting alongside its Evolution, Polteageist when the event begins on Tuesday, December 3.

However, as is becoming more common in Pokémon GO, Sinistea will not be easy to find. We won't see this Teacup in the wild, and will have to resort to other methods in order to add this new Pokémon to our collection.

So, here is how you can get your hands on Sinistea.

Sinistea will be avaliable in Pokémon GO between Tuesday, December 3 at 10am and Saturday, December 7 at 8pm. There are two ways to get your hands on this brand new Pokémon.

You will not be able to encounter Sinistea in the wild, or in Eggs, during this event.

Thankfully, there are some bonuses that you can enjoy when battling Sinistea in Raids. During the event you will get 50% more Stardust from raids, and there is also 2x friendship bonus in Raids too.

Additionally, during the Dual Destiny season of Pokémon GO you will get two free Raid Passes each day instead of one. That will let you take on two Sinistea Raids daily without having to use any of your Premium Battle Passes.

Once you've caught Sinistea, you will be able to also get your hands on Polteageist. In order to get this Pokémon, you will need to evolve Sinistea. Doing this will require 50 Sinistea Candy. That means you will need to grind a few Raids, or use some Rare Candy in order to have the candy required.

Alternatively, you could set Sinistea as your buddy and get candy for walking. You will get one candy every 3km you walk with Sinistea.
