On November 19 the Raid hour featuring Nihilego will be live during 6 – 7 pm Local Time. Pokemon GO Nihilego Raids are the trickiest ones to win as compared to others. 
Pokemon GO organizes a Raid Hour global event every month. During this specific hour, one specific Pokemon or a group of Pokemon appears more often in Raids. Different Mythical, Mega, and Legendary monsters can be featured as the raid bosses. The capabilities of these monsters are multiplied even further as raid bosses.
Players can win such raids for the Shiny Encounters reward. Although Nihilego Raids aren’t for the players with randomness in their strategy. In PvP and PvE rounds, this iconic creature is a true dynamo with immense power and strength. Therefore to counter it successfully, players must play strategically.
The jellyfish-like monster in the Alola region (Gen 7) hunts other Pokemon and people. The violence this creature leashes showcases its exceptional skill in the game. As a 5-star raid boss, his level of damage gets a boost, requiring meta-knowledge for players to win over it.

It is nearly impossible to defeat Nihiloego as a solo trainer as it’s one of the most powerful monsters in the game. This goes especially for the 5 Star Raid which required a bunch of trainers with strategic power counters.
To win the dual Rock and Poison kind Nihilego, players should use Ground, Steel, Water, and Psychic-type attacks since they count as the monster’s weaknesses. These attacks will leash the maximum level of damage to the Nihilego.
It is to be noted that this creature can easily resist Poison, Fairy, Normal, Fire, Bug, and Flying-type moves. Therefore players should choose the attacks that have potential against the monster rather than the useless ones.
<h3 id="pokemon-go-pro-players-use-stab-for-extra-damage">Pokemon GO pro players use STAB for extra damage</h3>
Moreover, STAB (Same Type of Attack Damage) can be used to inflict extra damage. The mechanic of the STAB move allows the Pokemon to use the type of move same as the its innate type. For example, a Fire-type Pokemon will use a Fire-type move.
This move helps with dealing additional damage to the opponent, in this case, the all-powerful Nihilego. Pro players always opt for STAB in tricky battles.
For countering Nihilego in the Pokemon GO legendary raid, players should focus on the Pokemon that can contain Ground, Steel, and Psychic-type moves to exploit its weaknesses.
For this, the top choices are Primal Groudon with its Mud Shot and Precipice Blades and Mega Garchomp with its Mud Shot and Earth Power. Shadow Excadrill can be a great option as well with its Mud Slap and Scorching Sands.
Several other choices include Shadow Groudon, Shadow Rhyperior, and Therian Forme Landorus.&nbsp;These Pokemon are the ideal picks to defeat Nihilego with a chance to encounter a Shiny Nihilego after winning the raid.
