It's The Final Nihilego Raid Hour In Pokémon GO For Hidden Gems

The final Nihilego Raid Hour of the Season of Hidden Gems takes place tonight in Pokémon GO. After that, July will introduce new content.


Tonight is the second and final Nihilego Raid Hour in Pokémon GO since this Ultra Beast was released in its Shiny form. Starting at 6 PM and running until 7 PM tonight, June 27th, most Gyms in the game will feature these Tier Five wormholes that will lead to the arrival of the Ultra Beast Nihilego. If you haven't yet caught your golden Shiny Nihilego, now may be your last chance for some time! Let's take a look at what's next for raids in the game.
