The arrival of a new event in *Pokemon GO* brings exciting opportunities to expand your Pokedex, including the debut of Nickit and its evolution, Thievul, during the Deep Depths event. Here's your guide on how to catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
To snag a Nickit during the Deep Depths event, keep your eyes peeled as you explore the wild. This Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon sight, so stay vigilant and regularly check your radar at the bottom right of the screen to ensure you don't miss out on any wild Nickit encounters.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs during the event. To make your journey easier, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is reduced by half, giving you a better chance to hatch a Nickit without having to walk as much.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event includes a Field Research task where you need to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to encounter Nickit. If that seems too challenging, you can expedite the process by purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket 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
Unlike Nickit, Thievul won't be found wandering in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Boost your candy collection by using Pinap Berries, which double the candy you receive from each catch. Set alerts in your Pokedex to stay updated on nearby Nickit spawns and maximize your candy gathering before the event ends.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and concludes on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a weekend ahead, it's the perfect time to visit local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit. By the event's end, you'll have ample opportunities to gather Nickit and evolve it into Thievul for your team.
That's your complete guide to capturing Nickit and evolving it into Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. If you're eager for more, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025 in the game.
