[OVERVIEW]
Once the bane of ORAS OU, the Shadow Tag ban doomed Gothitelle to being unviable in even PU. Now that it is unable to trap its foe, it is unlikely to get a good opportunity to set up, which means it has trouble getting past the tier's Dark-types like Skuntank. In addition, its only decent bulk paired up with its subpar Special Attack make it outclassed by a multitude of other Psychic-types, like Mesprit and Musharna.
[SET]
name: Calm Mind
move 1: Psychic / Psyshock
move 2: Thunderbolt
move 3: Hidden Power Ground
move 4: Calm Mind
item: Colbur Berry
ability: Competitive
nature: Modest / Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Gothitelle attempts to be a Calm Mind wallbreaker with decent coverage, but it fails to carve out a niche due to its poor stats. The only reason to use Gothitelle over Mesprit or even Musharna would be its Competitive ability, but it's not enough to make Gothitelle viable, and the aforementioned duo are objectively better choices for Psychic-types.
