Nihilego, a powerful Ultra Beast from Gen VII’s Pokémon Sun and Moon, invaded the Alola region. This jellyfish-like creature excels in Rock/Poison attacks and setting traps for its foes.
Now, Nihilego has made its way into Pokémon Go. Fans of Ultra Beasts and those hunting for Shiny Pokémon are eager to know if they can catch Nihilego’s Shiny form in the game.
Is Shiny Nihilego Available in Pokémon Go?
Starting June 16, during the Solstice Horizons event, Shiny Nihilego will be catchable in Pokémon Go. You can find this Rock/Poison Ultra Beast in five-star raids. You might get lucky and encounter its Shiny form.
Nihilego’s standard colors are light blue and white. But, its Shiny version boasts yellow and white hues. It’s a subtle yet eye-catching change.
Moreover, this Shiny version is special. It appeared in the Pokémon anime, something rare for Shinies. In the series, Gladion, Ash’s rival from Alola, catches a Shiny Nihilego. It looks a lot like his sister, Lillie, because of its pale yellow color, similar to her hair.
So, if you’re playing Pokémon Go, get ready. The Solstice Horizons event is your chance to catch Shiny Nihilego. Good luck, and happy hunting!
