The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces two exciting new additions to your Pokedex: Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
One of the primary ways to get Nickit in *Pokemon GO* during the Deep Depths event is by catching it in the wild. As an uncommon encounter, you’ll need to be vigilant. Keep an eye on your radar in the bottom right corner of the screen to spot Nickit before it disappears. This event is the perfect time to explore and increase your chances of encountering this sneaky Pokemon.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another method to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. During the Deep Depths event, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator is reduced by half, making it easier for you to hatch Nickit without spending all day walking. This is a great opportunity to hatch multiple eggs and potentially secure a Nickit.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
Field Research during the Deep Depths event offers a chance to encounter Nickit by completing the task of defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts. If you’re looking for a quicker way, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket ensures two guaranteed encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions. It’s a worthwhile investment for those eager to add Nickit to their collection.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Evolving Nickit into Thievul requires 50 Nickit Candy. Since Thievul isn’t available in the wild, your focus should be on collecting enough Candy to evolve your Nickit. Utilize Pinap Berries to double the Candy you receive from each catch. Additionally, setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit sightings can help you track them down more efficiently during the event.
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 a full weekend to participate, it's an ideal time to head out to your local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Pokemon. Make the most of this period to catch Nickit and gather enough Candy to evolve into Thievul.
By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your *Pokemon GO* Pokedex before the Deep Depths event concludes. And for more *Pokemon GO* tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
