The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon, Nickit and Thievul, to your Pokedex. Here's a detailed guide on how to catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.
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, Nickit will be an uncommon encounter. Stay vigilant and regularly check your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot and catch a wild 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 Deep Depths event. To help those with limited time, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is reduced by half, making it easier to hatch Nickit.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event includes Field Research tasks that can lead to encounters with Nickit. You'll need to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to unlock this opportunity. If you're looking to speed up the process, consider purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to catch Nickit—one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Unlike Nickit, Thievul won't appear in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you earn per catch, helping you reach the required amount before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for nearby wild Nickit can also be beneficial.
How Long Is the Deep Depths Event in Pokemon GO?
The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* starts on March 19 and concludes on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend to explore, it's an ideal time to use Incense at your local hotspots and increase your chances of encountering Nickit. By the end of the event, you should have enough opportunities to add both Nickit and Thievul to your team.
That's how you can secure Nickit and Thievul in *Pokemon GO* during the Deep Depths event. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025 in the game.
