Nickit and Thievul: How to Catch Them in Pokemon GO

The latest event in *Pokemon GO*, the Deep Depths event, introduces exciting new additions to your Pokedex: Nickit and its evolved form, Thievul. Here's how you can catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

One of the most straightforward ways to add Nickit to your collection is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter, so keep a close eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen. Make sure you're constantly scanning your surroundings to spot this sneaky Pokemon.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another exciting opportunity during the Deep Depths event is hatching Nickit from 7 km eggs. To make this more accessible for everyone, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is reduced by half. This means you won’t need to walk as much to hatch your eggs and potentially get a Nickit.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

Field Research during the Deep Depths event offers another chance to encounter Nickit. By completing the task to “defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts,” you can unlock an encounter with this Dark-type Pokemon. If you're looking for a quicker route, consider purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two opportunities to catch Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.

How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO

Evolving Nickit into Thievul is the only way to obtain this Pokemon. You'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy to evolve your Nickit. To speed up this process, use Pinap Berries when catching Nickit to double the Candy you receive. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you stay updated on nearby Nickit spawns, ensuring you don't miss any opportunities to catch them during the event.

How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?

The Deep Depths event begins on March 19 and ends on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With the event spanning a full weekend, it's the perfect time to explore 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 Pokedex.

And that's how you can secure Nickit and Thievul in *Pokemon GO* during the Deep Depths event. If you're looking for more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
