To say that stall is useless is absurd, you simply have to adapt to tier changes. You can't expect to use the same team for too long and expect to be successful. Using goth I can say without a doubt she's a fantastic pokemon, she's probably the reason HO might make a comeback in uu. TBH bulky offense is one of the most bland playstyles there is and goth is doing an excellent job in allowing more diversity to come through. What I've found is, given the right set/move she can effectively 2HKO every bulky water in the tier(excluding milotic). Most hazard setters and EVERY spinner fall to her. The game has become less spike/hazard stacking and more strategy. In essence, goth's presence is removing the reliance on entry hazards to win a match(which I really like). She ain't lacking flaws though. First off, she's set up bait for every single dark type in the tier. Scrafty being the most notable(and dangerous). Like everyone here mentioned, she has shitty stats so that's not helping her. She does trap walls/spinners easily, but a simple solution would be carrying a phasing move or u-turn/volt switch, which most walls have access to. If you can't do that, paralyze her or predict a goth switch in and switch out to a pursuit user. She's only been out for a day, so I think people just need time to adjust to her. Afterwords, I believe she'll be a welcomed addition to the tier.
