CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

A story says Sinistea supposedly arose when a lonely soul entered leftover cold black tea. The Pokémon then inhabits a reputedly antique cup, but the vessel's elegance can deceive. Many counterfeits of this tableware circulate. Its portrait therefore combines an origin reported as rumor with life inside a collectible object whose apparent age does not guarantee authenticity.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Shield specifies that many counterfeits circulate among the antique cups Sinistea inhabits. This detail concerns the tableware housing it. Sword separately presents its supposed origin, linked to a lonely soul and tea that had gone cold.
