The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces new Pokemon like Nickit and Thievul, and here's how you can add them to your Pokedex before the event wraps up.
How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
To catch Nickit in *Pokemon GO*, you'll need to keep an eye out during the Deep Depths event. This Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon encounter, so make sure to regularly check your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot Nickit in the wild.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs during the event. To help you out, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is reduced by half, making it easier to hatch Nickit without extensive walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event includes Field Research that requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker route, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to catch Nickit. The first chance comes after completing the "Defeat a Team Go Rocket Grunt" task, and the second after finishing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
To evolve Nickit into Thievul in *Pokemon GO*, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Use Pinap Berries to double the Candy you receive from each catch, helping you gather enough before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you stay informed about nearby wild Nickit appearances.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and ends on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend ahead, it's the perfect opportunity to explore local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit. By the end of the event, you should have enough Nickit to evolve into Thievul and complete your Pokedex entries.
That's how you can 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 March 2025.
