Pokemon Go Nihilego Solo Raid Using Primal Groudon, Shiny Nihilego Caught

Trainers, Nihilego takes over five-star Raids, and our job is to battle and catch this Ultra Beast. Defeating Nihilego can also lead you to a shiny encounter.

Nihilego, the Parasite Pokemon made its Pokemon Go debut in five-star Raids on June 5, 2022, and now the Ultra Beast is back, available to battle and catch in five-star Raids. Shiny Nihilego is also available, but the chances of getting a Shiny Nihilego are very low. But that’s not the case with one dedicated Pokemon Go player, who successfully defeated Nihilego using only one Pokemon as a counter, and was lucky enough to get a Shiny Nihilego.

Cmillan1 is the Pokemon Go player who beat Nihilego in five-star Raids, using only Primal Groudon. At the end of the battle, the game rewarded him with a Shiny Nihilego encounter, which ended up in his PokeDex.

Soloing an Ultra Beast and getting its shiny form is very hard and rare, so well done for the great Raid. That shiny was much deserved.
