Gothitelle is a black and purple bipedal Pokémon. Its head is black with a point on top with a white ribbon-like piece on either side of the point. Its "hair" resembles four disc like projections from each side of the head, imitating the curled ponytails often sported by girls in the gothic lolita fashion. Its face is coloured purple and has pink lips and blue eyes. Gothitelle have a black, segmented outer layer, resembling a dress or stacked cones, with white ribbon bows on each segment. Inside its black outer layer are a pair of white, cylindrical legs resembling pantyhose or tights. It also has white "cuffs" or "bangles" on each of its arms, protruding from which are its tiny hands which are the same colour as its face.
