The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* brings the exciting opportunity to catch Nickit and evolve it into Thievul. Here's how you can add these new Pokemon to your Pokedex during this event.
How to Catch Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild
During the Deep Depths event, Nickit, a Dark-type Pokemon, becomes an uncommon wild encounter. To increase your chances of catching one, keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen. This will help you spot Nickit as soon as it appears in your vicinity.
Hatching Nickit From Eggs
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. During the event, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator is halved, making it easier to hatch Nickit without extensive walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research
The event's Field Research tasks you with defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a more straightforward approach, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two chances to catch Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another upon completing all missions.
How to Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Thievul, unlike Nickit, won't appear 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 when catching Nickit, and consider setting alerts in your Pokedex to be notified when a Nickit is nearby. This will help you gather enough candy before the event ends.
Duration of the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and concludes on March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With the event spanning a full weekend, it's an ideal time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit. This gives you ample opportunity to catch enough Nickit to evolve into Thievul.
That's everything you need to know about obtaining Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
