The new Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces Nickit and Thievul, exciting additions to your Pokedex. Here's how you can catch these elusive Pokemon during the event.
One of the ways to get Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokemon will appear as an uncommon encounter. Keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot Nickit and ensure you don't miss out on this opportunity.
Another method to obtain Nickit during the Deep Depths event is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. To help players who can't spend all day walking, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is reduced by half, making it easier to hatch your Nickit.
The Deep Depths event's Field Research tasks you with defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker route, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to catch Nickit—one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all the missions.
Unlike most Pokemon, Thievul cannot be found in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you earn from each successful catch, helping you reach the required amount before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex will notify you when a wild Nickit appears nearby, aiding your quest to evolve one into Thievul.
To add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex by the end of the Deep Depths event, you need to know the event duration. The event starts on March 19 and concludes on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend ahead, it's the perfect time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit to your screen, setting the stage for evolving them into Thievul.
