The new Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces exciting new additions to your Pokedex with Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here's a detailed guide on how to catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.
How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
The simplest way to add Nickit to your collection is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, keep an eye on your radar located at the bottom right of the screen. Nickit is an uncommon encounter, so staying vigilant will increase your chances of spotting one.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another method to obtain Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs. The Deep Depths event makes this even more appealing by reducing the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator, making it easier for players to hatch them without extensive walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
Engaging in the event's Field Research by defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts will reward you with an encounter with Nickit. If this task seems daunting, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two Nickit encounters: one after defeating a Grunt and another upon completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Unlike Nickit, Thievul won't be found roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Utilize Pinap Berries to double your Candy rewards upon catching Nickit, and set alerts in your Pokedex to stay updated on nearby Nickit spawns.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event runs from March 19 to March 24, 2025, concluding at 8:00 PM local time. With a weekend included in the event duration, it's an ideal time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit. This timeframe gives you ample opportunity to gather enough resources to evolve Nickit into Thievul.
By following these strategies, you'll successfully add both Nickit and Thievul to your *Pokemon GO* Pokedex before the Deep Depths event ends. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025 in the game.
