The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon, Nickit and Thievul, to the game. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive creatures and 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 the wild, keep your eyes peeled during the Deep Depths event. This Dark-type Pokemon is an uncommon encounter, so stay vigilant and regularly check your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot any wild Nickit nearby.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Nickit can also hatch from 7 km eggs during the event. To help you hatch these eggs faster, the distance required for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is halved, making it easier to hatch Nickit without spending all day on your feet.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
Engage in the Deep Depths event Field Research, which challenges you to “defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts” to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker path, consider purchasing 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 after 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'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Use Pinap Berries to double the candy you receive from each catch, ensuring you gather enough before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit appearances can also boost your chances.
