- This Gothitelle set aims to trap and PP stall weak walls so that its offensive teammates can take over mid- to late-game. This Gothitelle set can come in on weak walls like Clodsire, Ting-Lu, Alomomola, and defensive Great Tusk and beat them by PP stalling them.
- Charm and Calm Mind are use to boost Gothitelle's survivability while PP stalling its foe.
- Taunt is used to stop phazing attempts and make the trapped Pokemon use their attacking PP, thus depleting their PP faster. Stored Power is an alternative for teams that benefit from having more wallbreaking potential or that have a good matchup against the Dark-types of the tier like Chien-Pao and Kingambit.
- The 24 Speed EVs allow Gothitelle to be faster than uninvested Corviknight, trapping it if it's not running U-turn. The Defense investment is used to tank hits well for PP stalling purposes, with attacks such as Ting-Lu's Earthquake being only a 4HKO.
- Tera Fairy is used for its solid defensive typing and ability to trap Choice-locked Dragon-types like Miraidon and Koraidon, Tera Water is an option for its overall great defensive typing, granting resistances to Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash, Koraidon's Flare Blitz, and Iron Bundle's Hydro Pump or Ice Beam. Lastly, Tera Ground is used to allow Gothitelle to trap Miraidon locked into an Electric move or defeat Double Dance sets one-on-one.
- Gothitelle's favorite partners are powerful sweepers and cleaners, especially setup sweepers that take advantage of defensive Pokemon having their PP drained to set up easily and without risk. Common examples include Sword Dance Koriadon, Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Double Dance Miraidon, and Calm Mind Flutter Mane.
