Gothita jumps into the air and puts its arms out in front of it. It then forms a mass of thick light blue, blue and purple energy and fires it at the opponent. When it hits the opponent, it pushes it back and explodes. Sometimes, the black tuft of hair on its head twitches and glows light purple before using the attack. When this happens, its body flashes light blue, blue and purple before forming the mass of energy. | |||
