Physical Characteristics: - Nihilego is notable for its jellyfish-like appearance with a translucent, gelatinous body. - It has a large, bell-shaped head that echoes the shape of a dress, with tentacle-like appendages beneath. - Its coloration is predominantly light blue with a deep blue dome in the center of its head.

Behavior and Habitat: - Nihilego is known for its parasitic nature, with a tendency to latch onto and take over the behavior of its host. - It typically resides in Ultra Space, a place beyond the Pokémon world.

In Battle: - Nihilego is highly effective at Special Attacks thanks to its high Special Attack stat. - It also has a good Speed stat, which allows it to outspeed many opponents.

Interesting Facts: - Nihilego is the only known Pokémon with the Rock/Poison type combination. - Its name is a combination of the Latin words "nihil" meaning nothing and "lego" meaning I choose, referencing its parasitic nature and its ability to take over its host. - Nihilego's design was inspired by the "jellyfish princess" character trope in anime, which often depicts female characters as ethereal, fragile, and slightly alien.
