How To Get Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO

The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon, Nickit and Thievul, to your Pokedex. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive creatures during the event.

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 becomes an uncommon encounter. Keep your eyes peeled and regularly check your radar in the bottom right corner of the game to spot Nickit before it slips away.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another method to obtain Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs during the event. To help you hatch these eggs faster, the hatch distance is halved for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event, making it easier for those who can't spend all day walking.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event also offers Field Research tasks that can lead to Nickit encounters. Completing the task to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" will unlock a chance to meet Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker route, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two Nickit encounters—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 your only option, as Thievul won't appear in the wild. You'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy to evolve your Nickit. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive from each catch, speeding up your collection process. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit appearances can also help you stay on top of your hunt.

How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?

The Deep Depths event runs from March 19 to March 24, 2025, ending at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend to explore, it's the perfect opportunity to visit local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit. By the end of the event, you should have enough Nickit to evolve into Thievul and complete your Pokedex entries.

That's your guide to catching Nickit and evolving it into Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
