The new Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* brings exciting opportunities to catch Nickit and evolve it into Thievul. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to add these elusive Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex before the event wraps up.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter in the wild. To increase your chances of spotting this sneaky Pokemon, keep an eye on your radar in the bottom right corner of the screen. Regularly checking this will help you not miss out on any wild Nickit appearances.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching 7 km eggs. The Deep Depths event makes this even more appealing by halving the hatch distance for eggs placed in Incubators during the event. This is a fantastic opportunity for players who can’t spend hours walking to still participate and hatch a Nickit.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The event introduces a Field Research task that requires you to defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If this challenge seems daunting, you can opt for the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the other after completing all the missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Unlike Nickit, Thievul isn't found in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries during catches can double the candy you receive, speeding up your collection process. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit can also help you stay on top of potential candy sources.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event runs from March 19 to March 24, 2025, ending at 8:00 PM local time. With the event spanning a full weekend, it's the perfect time to explore your local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Pokemon. This will give you ample opportunities to catch Nickit and prepare for evolving it into Thievul.
By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to completing your Pokedex with both Nickit and Thievul before the Deep Depths event concludes. And if you're interested in other Pokemon encounters, don't miss out on the full Ditto disguise list for *Pokemon GO* in March 2025.
