The arrival of a new event in *Pokemon GO* brings exciting opportunities to catch new Pokemon, including Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to snag these elusive Pokemon and complete your Pokedex before the event ends.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
Your first chance to encounter Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon sight. Keep your eyes peeled and frequently check your radar at the bottom right of the game to spot Nickit before it slips away.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs during the Deep Depths event. To help you out, the hatch distance for Eggs placed in an Incubator during this period is halved, making it easier for you to hatch those eggs without endless walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event offers Field Research tasks that reward you with Nickit encounters. You'll need to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to unlock this encounter. If that seems daunting, consider the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to catch Nickit. The first chance comes after completing the "Defeat a Team Go Rocket Grunt" task, and the second after finishing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Unlike most Pokemon, you won't find Thievul roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Use Pinap Berries to double the Candy you receive with each catch, speeding up your collection process. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also notify you when a Nickit is nearby, making your hunt more efficient.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
To ensure you add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex before the event concludes, mark your calendar. The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and ends on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend ahead, it's an ideal time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit. Soon, you'll have enough to evolve into Thievul and strengthen your team.
That's everything you need to know about capturing Nickit and evolving it into Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
