Strategy Overview

Gothitelle carves its niche in the Anything Goes metagame by being able to PP stall many prominent defensive Pokemon thanks to its access to Shadow Tag and helpful support moves such as Charm, Taunt, and Confide. Gothitelle also offers great support for some of the tier's most threatening sweepers, such as Mega Rayquaza and Zygarde-C. Aside from that, Gothitelle also traps different entry hazard removers across the tier, notably most Defog Arceus variants, as well as Choice-locked Pokemon like Choice Scarf Yveltal locked into Oblivion Wing and Choice Scarf Xerneas situationally. Despite all of this, Gothitelle offers nothing defensively to a team other than trapping a few Pokemon, often making it awkward to fit onto a build. Furthermore, Gothitelle has a much more useful matchup versus balanced or defensive teams, often serving as dead weight against offensive builds.
