It evolves into Gothorita starting at level 32, which evolves into Gothitelle starting at level 41.

Biology

Gothita is a small, humanoid Pokémon. A small tuft of hair sticks up from the top of its head, and it has two white, bow-shaped feelers on each side of its purple head and a third bow-shaped feeler on its neck. These ribbon-like feelers are used to amplify Gothita's psychic power. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Gothita intently observes those around it, becoming so focused, it is unaware of attacks. Its torso is black with a white zigzagging line running horizontally through the middle. Its arms and legs are short and stubby with no visible digits.

They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels and have base stat totals of 290.

Origin

Gothita seems to be based on a child dressed in Gothic lolita fashion.

Name origin

Gothita may be a combination of gothic and lolita.

Gothimu may be a combination of gothic and 予知夢 yochimu (precognitive dream) or 見る miru (to observe).
