It has a pale, purple face with cyan irises and red lips, possibly "lipstick," as well as two slender, handless arms. It has two white ribbon bows on its skirt with squat legs beneath.

Trivia

• Gothorita's Black Pokédex entry mentions its apparent behavior of hypnotizing people and "stealing them away", which is a trait shared with Hypno.
  • Despite this, it cannot learn Hypnosis.
• Despite its White Pokédex entry saying that starlight is the source of its power, it can't learn Cosmic Power.

Origin

Gothorita is based on a young girl dressed in the gothic lolita fashion. Considering its connection to stars, it slightly resembles the constellation of Scorpio.

Name origin

Gothorita may be a combination of "goth" and "señorita", the Spanish word for "miss". Gochimiru may be a combination of the English word "gothic" and 見る miru (to observe), or perhaps 見る目 mirume (discerning eye).

In other languages
