Pokemon GO: Methods to Get Poltchageist and Sinistcha
Halloween Occasion Half 1

There would not appear to be any elevated wild spawns for the Matcha Pokemon (or its evolution), so you may must be on the lookout for Raids should you actually need to add one to your staff.
To evolve Poltchageist into Sinistcha in Pokemon GO, you simply have to feed it 50 Poltchageist Sweet. Nonetheless, that is true provided that the Poltchageist you catch is in its Counterfeit Type. If the Poltchageist you catch is in its Artisan Type, it will take a whopping 400 Sweet to evolve it into Sinistcha’s Masterpiece type (let me clarify!).
