"Discovering Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO: A Guide"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 14,2025

The arrival of a new event in the mobile game *Pokemon GO* introduces exciting opportunities to catch Nickit and its evolution, Thievul, during the Deep Depths event. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you add these Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

One of the primary methods to obtain Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter. Stay vigilant and frequently check your radar located at the bottom right of the screen to ensure you don't miss any wild Nickit appearances.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another way to get Nickit during the Deep Depths event is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. To help trainers who can't spend all day walking, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during this event is reduced by half, making it easier to hatch your eggs and possibly find a Nickit.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event also offers Field Research tasks where you need to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to encounter Nickit. This can be challenging, but if you're willing to spend a bit, the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket at $1.99 guarantees two Nickit encounters. The first encounter comes after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the second after completing all missions.

Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive from each catch, speeding up the process. Also, setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit sightings can help you catch more and gather the necessary Candy before the event ends.

How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?

To ensure you add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex, it's crucial to know the duration of the Deep Depths event. Starting on March 19, 2025, the event concludes on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a weekend ahead, it's the perfect time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit. Soon, you'll have enough to evolve into Thievul and complete your team.
