Gothorita
Gothorita is a Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO and is a part of the Verdant Wonders event, running from March 21st, 10AM – March 25th, 8 PM, 8PM (local time).
It’s an easy solo as a high-level Trainer, but almost every group of 1-3 Trainers should be able to take Gothorita down under any conditions.
It is a pure Psychic type and therefore, is weak to the Bug Dark and Ghost types.
Gothorita can be caught with the following CP values:
- 860- 916 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
- 1075- 1146 CP at Level 25 with Windy weather boost
