The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces new Pokemon, including Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here’s your guide to catching these elusive critters during the event.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
The simplest way to encounter Nickit during the Deep Depths event is by spotting it in the wild. As a Dark-type Pokemon, Nickit will be an uncommon sight, so keep your eyes peeled and regularly check your radar in the bottom right corner of the screen to ensure you don't miss any wild Nickit appearances.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from a 7 km egg during the event. To help you out, the distance required to hatch Eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event has been halved, making it easier for those with busy schedules to participate.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event includes Field Research that requires you to defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts, rewarding you with an encounter with Nickit. If you're looking to speed up the process, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two opportunities to catch Nickit: once after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and again after completing all the missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you’ll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. To boost your candy count, use Pinap Berries when catching Nickit, as they double the amount of candy received. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit can also help you stay on top of wild encounters, ensuring you gather enough candy before the event ends.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and runs until March 24, 2025, ending at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend included, it's the perfect opportunity to explore local hotspots, use Incense, and catch as many Nickit as possible to prepare for evolving Thievul.
