Nickit and Thievul: How to Catch Them in Pokemon GO

by Victoria Apr 16,2025

The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* brings the excitement of encountering new Pokemon, including Nickit and its evolved form, Thievul. Here’s a detailed guide on how to add these sneaky Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex before the event ends.

How to Catch Nickit in Pokemon GO

Catching Nickit in the Wild

During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter in the wild. To increase your chances of finding one, keep an eye on your radar located at the bottom right of the screen. Be vigilant and ready to pounce when Nickit appears!

Hatching Nickit from Eggs

Another way to get Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. With the event in full swing, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator is halved, making it easier to hatch Nickit without spending too much time on your feet.

Getting Nickit from Field Research

The Deep Depths event introduces Field Research that requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" for a chance to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a shortcut, consider purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket offers two guaranteed encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.

Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive from each catch, speeding up your collection process. Additionally, setting alerts in your Pokedex can notify you when a wild Nickit is nearby, helping you gather the necessary Candy before the event concludes.

Duration of the Deep Depths Event

The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and wraps up on March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With the entire weekend at your disposal, it's the perfect opportunity to explore local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit. By the end of the event, you should have plenty of Nickit Candy and be ready to welcome Thievul to your team.
