Nickit and Thievul: Catching Tips for Pokemon GO

A new event in the mobile game *Pokemon GO* brings the exciting debut of Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event. While expanding your Pokedex can be challenging, here's your guide to catching these elusive Pokémon.

How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

The most straightforward way to get Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokémon becomes an uncommon encounter. Stay vigilant and keep an eye on your radar in the bottom right corner of the screen to spot Nickit before it slips away.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another method to obtain Nickit during the Deep Depths event is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. To make this process more manageable, especially for those with limited time, the hatch distance for Eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is halved.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event introduces Field Research that requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to encounter Nickit. If this task seems daunting, you can opt for the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, priced at $1.99, which guarantees two 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 Pokémon, Thievul won't be found roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive from each successful catch, helping you reach the required amount before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit appearances can also streamline your search.

How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?

To ensure you add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex, it's crucial to know the duration of the Deep Depths event. Starting on March 19, the event concludes 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 attract more Nickit. Soon, you'll have enough to evolve into Thievul and strengthen your team.
