Strategy Overview
-
Gothitelle is one of the most dangerous Trick Room setters you can face in VGC 2018 thanks to its above-average bulk and access to the very intimidating Shadow Tag.
-
Shadow Tag allows Gothitelle to not only set up Trick Room but also become one half of the well-known Perish Trap combination alongside Mega Gengar.
-
Gothitelle synergizes well with some of the top Trick Room attackers in the game like Mega Mawile, Azumarill, and Snorlax.
-
A decent movepool gives Gothitelle access to support moves such as Heal Pulse, Taunt, Tickle, Skill Swap, Recycle, and Ally Switch.
-
Its Psychic typing leaves Gothitelle weak to Ghost-, Dark-, and Bug-type attacks. While Gothitelle's bulk is above average, it isn't enough to survive some of the bigger hits Trick Room setters like Cresselia and Porygon2 can take.
-
Gothitelle typically only run one attacking move, which leaves it extremely weak to Taunt and being ignored. Gothitelle will not do much damage to Pokemon that aren't weak to Psychic-type attacks.
