Catching Nihilego in Cobblemon
Nihilego has a catch rate of 45, which is tricky by Cobblemon standards. Bring its HP as low as you can without knocking it out, ideally with False Swipe, then apply sleep or paralysis before throwing. HP, status and the ball's multiplier all affect catch odds.
Nihilego does not spawn naturally in Cobblemon. No amount of hunting will find one in the wild, so do not burn hours looking. Servers can still route it in through events, missions or monuments, so check the server's own rules and Discord. On TalonMC, legendaries arrive through Legendary Monuments and mission chains rather than random spawns.
Shiny odds are the same for every species, roughly 1 in 8,192 per spawn, so hunting a shiny Nihilego is purely a volume game. See shiny hunting.
