How To Get Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO

The arrival of a new event in the mobile game *Pokemon GO* brings the exciting debut of Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event. But completing your Pokedex isn't always a breeze. Here’s your 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

The simplest way to add Nickit to your collection is by catching 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 ensure you don't miss out on a wild Nickit.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another method to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from a 7 km egg while the Deep Depths event is ongoing. To ease the process for those short on time, the hatch distance for Eggs placed in an Incubator during the event will be halved, making it more feasible to hatch a Nickit.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event includes Field Research tasks that require you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to unlock an encounter with Nickit. This challenge can be tough, but for those looking to speed things up, the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, priced at $1.99, offers two guaranteed chances to catch Nickit. The first opportunity 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

Unlike most Pokemon, Thievul won't be found roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Utilize Pinap Berries to double your Candy yield each time you catch a Nickit, ensuring you have enough by the event's end. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for nearby Nickit appearances can also be a smart move.

To successfully add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex before the Deep Depths event concludes, mark your calendar. The event starts on March 19 and wraps up on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time.
