Strategy Overview
At first glance, Gothita really does look useless. Unlike its evolutions in the grown-up tiers, it doesn't have access to Shadow Tag due to the generation's breeding mechanics. Its offensive typing is horrid and its stats are subpar. When one takes a deeper look at Gothita, however, one will find that it does have some appealing traits. Its Psychic typing is quite useful in this metagame full of Fighting-types, and having only one common weakness is something to be thankful for. Gothita's special movepool is also very good when compared to common special attackers such as Chinchou. While Shadow Tag isn't obtainable, having Frisk as an ability is a lot better than nothing, as it will allow Gothita to scout the opponent by revealing their item. All-in-all, Gothita may not be an excellent powerhouse, but it has a lot of things going for it.
