Overview |
Whereas Gothita are sometimes seen as unsettling due to their piercing stares, Gothorita are feared in many rural communities due to the many urban legends surrounding their behavior. Gothorita are nocturnal and are said to derive their psychic powers from starlight and constellations. These Pokémon will arrange stones to match the positions of the stars overhead and then levitate them in the air for unknown reasons. Many legends say this practice is a ritual that grants Gothorita the power to hypnotize and control the minds of unwary people and Pokémon nearby. Gothorita are believed to lead people away from their homes and into forests in this manner, wiping their memories along the way. Some legends even tell stories of how lonely Gothorita will hypnotize young children while they lay asleep on starry nights, manipulating them to play with the Gothorita as “friends.” For this reason, Gothorita in some areas are known as "witches of the night." Despite these haunting tales, there is no scientific evidence that these Pokémon engage in such activities, and it is likely that these wild stories were simply spawned by their odd, inexplicable behaviors.
