Nihil Light (Japanese:無(む)に帰(き)す光(ひかり)Light That Returns to Nothing) is a damage-dealingDragon-typemove introduced duringGeneration IX, inPokémon Legends: Z-A. It is thesignature move ofMegaZygarde and an upgraded version of its other signature move,Core Enforcer.

Effect

Generation IX

Nihil Light deals damage and ignores anystat changes affecting its targets. It also bypassesFairy-typePokémon's immunity toDragon-typemoves, dealing neutral damage; if used on a dual-type Pokémon that has Fairy as one of its types, the damage calculation will take into account only the other type (e.g., a dual-type Fairy/Dragon Pokémon will be treated only as Dragon-type, and Nihil Light will be super effective).
