Mega Pokémon that boost Gothita

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Gothita if they are Mega/Primal evolved:

A Note on Mega Catch Bonus

While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Is it worth evolving Gothita?

PVP

🔵 Great League

Gothitelle does not perform particularly well in any of the three main leagues. This is because Gothitelle has middle-of-the-road stats, not favoring either high attack or high defense to rely on. It has heavy damage-dealing but low energy-generating fast attacks with long animation times, yet no spammy charged attacks to go along with them.

PVE

⚔️ Raids

Gothitelle is a Psychic-type Pokémon and the final stage of a three-stage evolutionary line. Despite this, Gothitelle does not perform particularly well when compared to many other Psychic-type alternatives. As such, it is difficult to recommend Gothitelle as a raid attacker.
