Ninjask is a Tier 4 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, with a raid boss CP of 22878. Ninjask Counters are strong Rock-types such as Tyranitar, Rhyperior, Golem, and Rampardos. It appears that although it is a Level 4 boss, Ninjask is soloable under the right conditions (weather boost and/or powered-up counters) due to its double weakness to Rock-type attacks. We’d recommend having Level 35+ counters before attempting this solo. Ninjask is a Bug type that has the following stats:

Since Nincada has been a rare Pokémon up to this point (being only obtainable from research tasks), now is a great time to register its evolution into your Pokédex if you haven’t already! Its max capture CPs are as follows:
- 1061 – 1125 CP (no weather boost, level 20 100% IV)
- 1326 – 1406 CP (weather boosted in Windy and Rainy, level 25 100% IV)
