Gothitelle utilizes Shadow Tag to trap prevalent defensive Pokemon such as Quagsire, Ferrothorn, Hippowdon, Corviknight, and Toxapex, which opens up the door for its teammates to break through. Trick coupled with a Choice Scarf allows Gothitelle to trap most passive Pokemon more reliably, forcing them into a single move while Gothitelle boosts itself with Cosmic Power. Even Pokemon with phazing moves or U-Turn / Volt Switch, which would otherwise not get trapped, are also Tricked and thus nullified in their defensive abilities down the line. Stored Power is the choice of attacking move, transforming this support Pokemon into a very scary cleaner. Rest coupled with a fully defensive spread provides Gothitelle with the longevity necessary to beat the foes it traps one-on-one and set up on those same Pokemon while they are PP stalled.

Offensive threats that struggle to break through specific sturdy defensive backbones but otherwise deal incredible damage, such as Zacian-C or Dragon Dance Gyarados, benefit massively from Gothitelle's ability to get rid of their answers. Gothitelle can also be a valuable weapon on bulkier stall teams that appreciate the removal of certain problematic Pokemon such as Toxapex and Ditto as well as its ability to set up and win battles on its own. Gothitelle struggles against Ghost-types and Pokemon with Shed Shell, which are able to switch out at will and put the player in a problematic situation, with Gothitelle being locked into Trick. It can also be dead weight against more offensive teams with its lack of offensive and defensive presence.
