The arrival of the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* brings exciting opportunities to catch new Pokemon like Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here's a detailed guide on how to add these Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex before the event concludes.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
Your first chance to snag Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by encountering it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokemon will appear as an uncommon encounter. Stay vigilant and keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot Nickit before it slips away.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit during the event is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. The good news is that for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event, the hatch distance is reduced by half, making it easier for everyone to get their hands on a Nickit.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event also features Field Research that requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to unlock an encounter with Nickit. If you find this challenging, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket offers two guaranteed encounters with Nickit—one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and another upon completing all the missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Thievul, the evolved form of Nickit, won't be found roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive per catch, helping you reach that number faster. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit can also ensure you don't miss out on any nearby appearances.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* runs from March 19 to March 24, 2025, ending at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend to play, it's an ideal time to explore your local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit. By the end of the event, you should be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your team.
That's the complete guide on how to catch Nickit and evolve it into Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for the mobile game in March 2025.
