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.

Special abilities

Gothorita use starlight as the source of their power; they also are able to use their psychic powers to arrange rocks the same way the stars are arranged.

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 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 "gothic" 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).
