Description: A small and humanoid shaped Pokémon, Gothita has purple skin on its face, and black and white zigzags across its torso. Its stubby arms and legs are black with no discernable hands or feet, much less digits. A small bun of black hair sits atop its head and a pair of white, bow-shaped feelers peek up on either side. A third bow-shaped appendage protrude beneath its chin. Gothita have big blue eyes and small, red lipped mouths. The bows that adorn their body amplify their Psychic energies, powering their attacks.
Core Games
Gothita in the core games
- Sword Pokédex: Though they're still only babies, there's psychic power stored in their ribbonlike feelers, and sometimes they use that power to fight.
- Shield Pokédex: Even when nobody seems to be around, Gothita can still be heard making a muted cry. Many believe it's speaking to something only it can see.
