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.
