Nihilego resembles a jellyfish with a semi-translucent bell ringed by star-shaped markings, its tentacles meshing together into a humanlike shape. Concept art shows that its body is built from different kinds of glass. It was among the first Ultra Beasts discovered by Professor Mohn for the Aether Foundation, drifting into Alola from the Ultra Deep Sea and attaching to hosts, causing abnormal behavior in them. Excluding Arceus holding a Stone Plate, Nihilego is the only white Rock-type Pokémon.
Faba summoned a Nihilego from an Ultra Wormhole in Faba's Revenge!, where it briefly battled Lusamine, Gladion, and Ash before taking Lusamine through the wormhole; it was given its proper name in The Professors' New Adventure!. A Shiny Nihilego nicknamed Lillie later rescued Mohn after he vanished into a wormhole, and once his memory was restored it was caught by Gladion in The Homecoming Crown!.
Nihilego's earliest printings are a trio of GX cards from Crimson Invasion, all illustrated by 5ban Graphics, including an Ultra Rare and a Secret Rare. Lost Thunder added a Rare Nihilego illustrated by Megumi Mizutani, and the Hidden Fates Shiny Vault gave it a Shiny rare GX card.
