The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces new Pokemon, Nickit and its evolution Thievul, offering players a thrilling chance to expand their Pokedex. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive Pokemon during the event.
How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
During the Deep Depths event, you can encounter Nickit in the wild. As a Dark-type Pokemon, it will be an uncommon find, so keep a keen eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen. Regular checks will help you spot and catch a wild Nickit before it slips away.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to secure Nickit during the event is by hatching it from a 7 km egg. The event makes this easier by reducing the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator to half the normal distance, giving you more chances to hatch Nickit without excessive walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event's Field Research tasks you with defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If this challenge feels daunting, you can opt for the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, costing $1.99, which offers two guaranteed Nickit encounters. One after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another upon completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Thievul, unlike Nickit, doesn't appear in the wild. To evolve your Nickit into Thievul, you need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Utilize Pinap Berries to double your candy haul from each successful catch. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for nearby Nickit appearances can also streamline your collection process.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event runs from March 19 to March 24, 2025, concluding at 8:00 PM local time. With a weekend at your disposal, it's an ideal time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to boost your chances of encountering Nickit. This window provides ample opportunity to catch Nickit and evolve it into Thievul, ensuring both make it into your Pokedex.
By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your *Pokemon GO* collection. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
