Our Comprehensive Guide to Raiding Nihilego in Pokémon GO will assist players in their pursuit of the Shiny Nihilego after defeating Tier Five Raids in the game.
The Season of Hidden Gems has commenced in Pokémon GO. It initiated with a Raid Rotation featuring Mega Swampert in Mega Raids and the Lake Trio in Tier Five Raids. Now, there has been a shift as Mega Sceptile takes charge in Mega Raids while Nihilego infiltrates Tier Five raids with the introduction of its Shiny form. This guide is designed to aid Pokémon GO players in constructing a formidable team to defeat Nihilego and unlock the opportunity to encounter this newly Shiny-capable Ultra Beast. Let’s explore!
Top Nihilego Counters
Pokebattler, an advanced Pokémon and moves calculation tool, presents the following as the top ten counters to Nihilego:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, High Horsepower
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Drill Run
- Shadow Golurk: Mud-Slap, Earth Power
- Mega Swampert: Mud Shot, Earthquake
- Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, High Horsepower
- Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Golem: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
It is advisable to power up your counters as much as possible. However, attaining a team of high-level Shadow Pokémon with optimal moves can be challenging even for experienced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega Pokémon that can effectively aid in defeating Nihilego:
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Earthquake
- Incarnate Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Golurk: Mud-Slap, Earth Power
- Rhydon: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Krookodile: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Donphan: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Golem: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
- Flygon: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Swampert: Mud Shot, Earthquake
How Many Trainers Are Required?
Defeating Nihilego can be achieved with just two trainers. However, if you are unable to ensure that your team consists of the top counters with maximum CP and optimal moves, it is advisable to have three or more players.
To enhance your chances of capturing Pokémon, utilize the Circle Lock Technique to consistently perform Great or Excellent throws, and use Golden Razz Berries. In the event that you encounter a Shiny Pokémon, a Pinap Berry guarantees a successful capture.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The likelihood of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in Tier Five raids is approximately one in twenty.
If you are searching for a Pokémon with the best stats, a Nihilego with 100% IVs will have a CP of 2256 in normal weather conditions and 2821 in boosted conditions.
