(tested with
gamer boy and got some pretty funny results using non-serious teams. Spread was different though: 4 HP / 252 Spatk / Spdef)
Despite losing Storm Drain, Sticky Hold Gastrodon provides a great way of luring in and taking out Gothitelle on stall teams, by trapping it with Infestation and then wearing it down with Toxic. Since Sticky Hold negates Trick, the only Gothitelle set this loses to is Specs (not to problematic though really lol).
Earthquake + 64 investment guarantees the 3HKO on 128 HP Gothitelle if they attempt to spam Rest to PP stall you (I also recommend using Infestation before this to guarantee the KO). In most situations, however, this is unlikely to happen as it's rather difficult to predict, and only happened in the replay because my opponent had 6 chances to adjust to the set. Recover, rather obviously, gives you recovery if you get low, but Psychic isn't even going to score a 4HKO with the given investment, so if you do get a SDef drop from Psychic or a crit, it shouldn't matter
too much.
Scald or Toxic can be used depending on what else you want to do with Gastrodon - either score burns on physical attackers or try and wear down stall teams with Toxic.
128 SpA Gothitelle Psychic vs. 188 HP / 88+ SpD Gastrodon: 102-121 (24.8 - 29.5%) -- guaranteed 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
64 Atk Gastrodon Earthquake vs. 128 HP / 0 Def Gothitelle: 105-124 (33.5 - 39.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
