The new Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces the Dark-type duo, Nickit and Thievul, to your Pokedex. Here's a detailed guide on how to capture these elusive Pokemon during the event, ensuring you don't miss out on adding them to your collection.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

One way to snag Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by encountering it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon sight. Keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot these sneaky critters and ensure you're ready to catch them as soon as they appear.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another avenue for obtaining Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs during the Deep Depths event. To make the process smoother, especially for those short on time, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is halved, giving you a better chance at hatching a Nickit.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

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

To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Boost your Candy collection by using Pinap Berries, which double the amount of Candy you receive per catch. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for nearby Nickit can also streamline your efforts during the Deep Depths event.

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. It starts on March 19 and concludes on March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend ahead, it's an ideal time to explore local hotspots and use Incense to increase your chances of encountering Nickit, paving the way to evolve it into Thievul.
