Gothita's powerful Shadow Tag ability makes it one of the best trappers in LC, with its access to a good movepool and decent typing allowing it to trap some of the best Pokemon in the tier such as Mienfoo, Foongus, Mareanie, and Glimmet. Thunderbolt allows it to hit Vullaby, while Energy Ball allows it to hit Trapinch, Mudbray, and Chinchou. Trick makes it able to lock common defensive Pokemon like Foongus and Mareanie into a single move, effectively shutting them down. Tera Psychic allows Gothita to OHKO Pokemon it normally needs chip to kill, like Mienfoo, Foongus, and Mareanie. Tera Fighting makes Gothita able to resist Sucker Punch, and hit Pawniard and common Steel-type teras.

Common teammates for Gothita include Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Timburr, as they appreciate its ability to trap Poison-types that wall them. Other common teammates include Pawniard and Hisuian Growlithe, as they like the removal of powerful Fighting-types that check them. Finally, Vullaby enjoys the presence of Gothita, as it can trap Glimmet, a Pokemon that beats it. Gothita likes having teammates that can switch into powerful Dark-types such as Vullaby, Stunky, and Pawniard as they can get a free turn when coming in on a Psychic. Teammates that can do this include Mudbray and Eviolite Hisuian Growlithe.

Gothita is one of the best trappers in LC with its decent typing, good movepool, and great ability. (This is an ok introduction but I think you could do a little better, should probably mention Gothita's Shadow Tag specifically rather than just calling it a "great ability" and how Gothita's use comes from using it to trap certain mons like Mienfoo or Foongus) Thunderbolt allows it to hit Vullaby, while Energy Ball allows it to hit Trapinch, Mudbray, and Chinchou. Tera Blast Fighting allows it to hit Pawniard. Trick allows it to trade its item for an Eviolite, allowing it to lock common setup sweepers into a single move if used correctly (this doesn't really happen, would talk about Gothita giving an undesirable item to mons like Foongus or Mareanie instead). Tera Psychic allows Gothita to power up Psychic, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon it normally needs chip to kill, like Mienfoo, Foongus, and Mareanie. Tera Fighting allows it to resist two of its three weaknesses as well as hitting Pawniard. (fix the order in which moves are mentioned, not sure why you split up the tera mentions with trick in between and gave tera fighting 2 mentions, should be thunderbolt -> eball -> blast -> trick and then you can mention what the teras do)

Gothita's powerful Shadow Tag ability makes it one of the best trappers in LC, with its access to a good movepool and decent typing allowing it to trap some of the best Pokemon in the tier. (Provide examples; this is where you can say what Psychic would trap.) Thunderbolt allows it to hit Vullaby, while Energy Ball allows it to hit Trapinch, Mudbray, and Chinchou. (AS) Trick allows it (don't use "allows it" in every single sentence, chang it up! It makes your analysis easier and more engaging to read.) to lock common defensive Pokemon like Foongus and Mareanie into a single move, effectively shutting them down. Tera Psychic allows Gothita to power up Psychic, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon it normally needs chip to kill, like Mienfoo, Foongus, and Mareanie. Tera Fighting allows it to resist two of its three weaknesses as well as hitting Pawniard with Tera Blast. (Tera Fight's only real defensive utility is a Sucker Punch resist so just say that. Also mention that it nails common teras like Steel.)

(add a sentence here on the point that Gothita is a support mon that exists to remove certain key threats and doesn't really form part of traditional cores as a result. You should also emphasize that it needs chip to get the kill on basically everything, so hazard support is essential before anything else in this paragraph.)
