#21 Polteageist V - SWSH Black Star Promos (swshp)

Polteageist V is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 170 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features the ability Teapot of Surprises, which allows the player to select a random card from the opponent's hand when the Pokémon is damaged, forcing the opponent to reveal and discard it. The card's attack, Mind Bend, costs Psychic and two Colorless energies to deal 100 damage and induce Confusion on the opponent's Active Pokémon. Polteageist V resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Darkness-type attacks multiplied by two. Its unique rule states that if the Pokémon V is Knocked Out, the opponent loses two Prize cards. The card was released in the Sword & Shield series as part of the SWSH Black Star Promos set on November 15, 2019. Designed by artist PLANETA Igarashi, it holds thedex number 855 and is classified as a Promo rarity. This card emphasizes strategic disruption through its interaction with the opponent's deck and status effects.
