Hello there,
I wonder if you also see Gothorita viable for UU. At the moment it is completely missing an analysis.
So here a short input, so that you can decide, if you like it and want more or not. :)
How came I'm using Gothorita?
I was searching for a Special Wall in UU with additional powers. And after checking all of the existing UU to NU Pokémon with potential I finally discovered Gothorita as a missing link for some tasks.
This goth-punk-mon is amazing and I'm able to hunt some of UU's top threats with it. I have never found such an underestimated Pokémon since playing UU. (Also check out the UU stats for March, where I played some battles with it.)
[OVERVIEW]
• Trapper with massive special defense based on eviolite.
• Even defense is acceptable with eviolite.
• Counters lots of UU threats.
[SET]
Name: Goth ya!
Move 1: Calm Mind
Move 2: Psyshock
Move 3: Toxic
Move 4: Rest
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Shadow Tag
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
IVs: 0 Att
This gives Gothorita a whooping 590 SpD with 324 HP. Just to give you a quick impression:
252 SpA Choice Specs Raikou Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite (custom): 115-136 (35.49 - 41.97%)
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite (custom): 99-118 (30.55 - 36.41%)
0 SpA Roserade Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite (custom): 63-75 (19.44 - 23.14%)
0 SpA Froslass Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite (custom): 46-55 (14.19 - 16.97%)
The plan is as easy as useful. Switch-in, use Calm Mind and then Toxic or Rest. Wake-up Shock or more Calm Mind. A lot of opponents can't win even with a Crit in between.
Even more effective you are as revenge killer.
0 Attack is for Foulplay and Psyshock for Calm Mind duels.
Main-objective is to get rid of Spikers (Roserade, Froslass) and Spinners (Hitmontop, Blastoise). (Even when Blastoise will force you out you can still Toxic it and start it slowly going down.)
Sub-objective is hunting Non-super-effective Specialattackers.
And so you got lots of targets to switch in:
Roserade, Froslass, Blastoise, Hitmontop, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Slowbro, Porygon2, Togekiss,...
And even more in addition to revenge kill, if they feel to strong to switch in:
Raikou, Zapdos, Kingdra, Scarfed Chandelure (not using Shadowball), Scarfed Close-combat Heracross,...
Support from Wish and/or Healbell is very welcome to be able to do more switch-ins.
Revenge-kill via Pursuit is the biggest threat. But most strong physical attackers will win.
So that's the short version. If you like it and can see the potential, let me know and I will start an analysis thread for quality check.
Thx,
