Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-08)
Polteageist holds just 0.17% usage and ranks 139th in singles, sitting outside the standard metagame as a dedicated Baton Pass shell. It enjoys immunities to Normal and Fighting alongside resistances to Poison and Bug, but it takes double damage from Ghost and Dark, and its 60/65 HP/Defense bulk is thin.
Playstyle:The set revolves around setup and hand-offs. Shell Smash (25.0%) enables a one-shot boost, Baton Pass (23.5%) transfers that boost to a teammate, and Strength Sap (23.5%) patches up the HP drop from Shell Smash while still threatening neutral hits. White Herb at 89.3% exists purely to undo Shell Smash's Defense drops, letting the boost land cleanly on the next threat. Cursed Body at 92.9% adds a passive disruption layer.
Doubles usage sits at 0.01%, ranked 268th, putting Polteageist outside the playable conversation. Its 60/65/114 bulk is too soft for the format, and Trick Room setters already abound in the tier, leaving no niche.
Playstyle:In doubles it splits between a Trick Room nuker (Protect 21.1%, Shadow Ball 17.5%, Trick Room 10.6%) and a Shell Smash sweeper, with Spell Tag (29.4%) and Life Orb (27.2%) supplying the damage. Cursed Body and Weak Armor are nearly even at 56.6% and 43.4%, mapping onto those two roles.
