Nihilego Raid Guide (Ultra Beast)

Nihilego

Nihilego is a Rock and Poison type Ultra Beast Tier-5 Raid boss. Best Nihilego raid counters include powerful Ground, Psychic, Water, and Steel types, with a mixed range of different counters available to help you defeat it. Note that it is double-weak to Ground-type moves, so prioritize these counters.

It can also be shiny!

Nihilego Raid Boss CP is 48499, and you can catch it in the following CP Ranges:

• 2167 CP to 2256 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
• 2709 CP to 2829 CP at Level 25, with Partly Cloudy or Cloudy weather boost

Depending on your levels and counters, we would recommend 3-5 high-level Trainers, and more if you don’t have optimal teams. It can be duoed, but can also be soloed with a level 50 Primal Groudon!
