Additionally, due to the way it repairs broken objects, Poltchageist is also based on the process of 金継ぎ ''{{wp|kintsugi}}'',<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sv_dlc/ja/pokemon/230822_01/ チャデス|『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット ゼロの秘宝』公式サイト]</ref> in which cracked and broken pottery is mended using lacquer mixed with a metallic powder, usually gold.

Poltchageist's forms may be based on stoneware forgeries. One historical way to combat stoneware forgeries was to create a {{wp|Seal (emblem)|stamp of authenticity}} on products, hence the stamp under Artisan Form Poltchageist. It may also be a reference to the difference between unremarkable household objects and rare variants of them which are seen as antiques or masterpieces. Another origin for Poltchageist's forms may be the different grades of matcha, or matcha imitations.
