In Pokémon GO the new event “Waiting and Drinking Tea” is coming, along with the suitable Pokémon debut: The spooky cup Fatalitee makes its first appearance in the game.
When does the event take place? “Waiting and Drinking Tea” starts on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 10:00 AM. It ends on December 7, 2024, at 8:00 PM.
What is the highlight? That is definitely the new Pokémon “Fatalitee”. It is known as the Black Tea Pokémon. It can evolve into Mortipot, which will cost you 50 Fatalitee candies.
How do I get Fatalitee? As of now, you can get Fatalitee from level 1 raids. You can challenge it directly as soon as the event starts. Here’s something particularly exciting: Once the new season “Dual Destiny” starts, you will have two free raid passes available each day, which you can pick up from gyms.
So, starting from the season, you can theoretically plunge into battle with Fatalitee twice a day. But what kind of Pokémon is it, actually?
Fatalitee and Mortipot in Pokémon GO are quite spooky
What makes Fatalitee special? Fatalitee has two forms: the counterfeit and the original form. However, they primarily differ in visual aspects. It evolves into Mortipot, which also comes with two forms.
How the Pokémon look can be seen here:
It is clear: The Pokémon would also fit well in the Halloween event when you look at the Pokédex entry of the monster. In Pokémon Violet, for example, it says that Fatalitee enters the body of those who drink it as tea. It drains their life energy and tastes awful.
This could, however, also be its salvation, as Pokémon Shield points out that while it hopes to be drunk, it is often immediately spit out due to its terrible taste.
By the way, it also has a weakness: if stirred, Fatalitee gets dizzy.
What makes Mortipot special? Mortipot also enjoys attacking black tea that has not been finished. It seems to taste significantly better than Fatalitee, and some apparently even like to drink it, as mentioned in Pokémon Violet. But: Mortipot tea can also lead to chills and, when consumed excessively, to death, as stated in Pokémon Shield.
