I would say no, as taking a young princess hostage for years to keep herself beautiful and stabbing the princess's love interest isn't enough to be classified as Pure Evil. Sure, she did lots of other things, such as conspiring with Stabbington Brothers to have Flynn hanged before she later betrayed them, but all of these acts are just standard villainy. If the film or series were to depict far more worse actions that Gothel did than those, maybe then she would've been considered as PE.
