Nihilego is a Rock/Poison-type Pokémon (National Dex #793) with a high stat total of 570. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Def at 131, which makes it a fast, hard-hitting sweeper. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Nihilego takes super-effective damage from Ground at 4×, and Water, Psychic, Steel at 2×. It resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Bug, Fairy. Its ability options are Beast Boost.
In-game, Nihilego has 5 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Nihilego ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
