Nihilego, the Parasite Pokemon, is coming to Pokemon GO in time for Pokemon GO Fest 2022. What Pokemon should players bring to be able to take down this Ultra Beast?

Nihilego, the jellyfish-like Ultra Beast from Generation VII, has arrived in Pokemon GO in honor of Pokemon GO Fest 2022. It will be available in 5-Star Raids, and it will also appear as an encounter for completing a Special Research task. So how can players expect to take down this other-worldly Ultra Beast? We're here to help you out.

Nihilego Counters and Weaknesses

Nihilego is a dual rock/poison type, meaning it will be hit hard by Ground-type moves. When you're going to face Nihilego in a Raid Battle, your best bet is to bring a Pokemon who knows strong Ground-type moves such as Earthquake or Earth Power. Consider Landorous (Therian form or Incarnate form), Excadrill, Garchomp, or Rhyperior. These heavy-hitting Pokemon are sure to help you succeed in your Nihilego raids.

If you don't have access to Ground-type Pokemon, however, don't worry. While Nihilego is especially weak to Ground, it has a few other weaknesses too. Steel, Water, and Psychic-type moves are also effective against Nihilego. Try bringing a Mega Blastoise, Mega Gyarados, Steelix, Slowbro, or Metagross to the Nihilego raid. Many of these Pokemon have access to Ground-type moves even if they are not Ground-types themselves.

Nihilego is resistant to Normal, Flying, Poison, Bug, Fire, and Fairy-type moves, so be cautious bringing these kinds of Pokemon to a Nihilego raid.

Players can purchase Pokemon GO Fest tickets for $14.99, which will grant them access to exclusive content, and a final event that will take place on Saturday, Aug. 27.
