Gothita (Japanese: ゴチム Gothimu) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
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 its psychic power. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Gothita intently observes those around it, and can become 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.
