The excitement of new Pokemon debuting in *Pokemon GO* is palpable, especially with the arrival of Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to add these elusive Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
The most straightforward way to encounter Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by spotting it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, keep an eye on your radar located at the bottom right of your screen. Nickit may be an uncommon encounter, but staying vigilant will increase your chances of adding this Pokemon to your collection.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another avenue to obtain Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs during the event. To make this more accessible, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is halved, allowing you to hatch your eggs faster and with less walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
Engaging in the Deep Depths event's Field Research can also lead you to Nickit. By completing the task to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts," you'll unlock an encounter with this Dark-type Pokemon. If you're looking to expedite the process, consider purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to encounter Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Evolving Nickit into Thievul is the only way to obtain this Pokemon, as it won't appear in the wild. You'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy to evolve your caught Nickit. To accelerate your Candy collection, use Pinap Berries when catching Nickit to double the Candy you receive. Also, setting alerts in your Pokedex for nearby Nickit appearances can help you gather the necessary Candy before the event ends.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* runs from March 19 until March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend to explore, it's the perfect opportunity to use Incense at your local hotspots and increase your chances of encountering Nickit. By the end of the event, you'll be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your team.
That's everything you need to know about obtaining Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for the mobile game in March 2025.
