The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon, Nickit and Thievul, to your Pokedex. Here's a 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 by hatching it from 7 km eggs. The Deep Depths event makes this easier by halving the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event, so you can hatch Nickit without spending all day walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The event's Field Research tasks you with defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If you're not up for the challenge, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two chances to catch Nickit. The first opportunity comes after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the second after completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Unlike Nickit, 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 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?
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'll be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your team.
That's your guide to catching Nickit and evolving it into Thievul during the *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
