The mobile game *Pokemon GO* introduces new Pokemon with each event, and the Deep Depths event is no exception, featuring the debut of Nickit and Thievul. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.
The simplest way to add Nickit to your Pokedex is by encountering it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, keep an eye on the radar located at the bottom right of your screen. Nickit will be an uncommon encounter, so staying vigilant will be key to not missing out on these sneaky creatures.
Another method to obtain Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs. During the event, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator is reduced by half, making it easier for those with limited time to walk. This is a great opportunity to hatch a Nickit without the usual effort.
The Deep Depths event includes Field Research tasks that reward you with a Nickit encounter upon defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts. If you're looking for a shortcut, the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, priced at $1.99, offers two guaranteed chances to catch Nickit. The first opportunity comes after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the second after completing all the missions.
Unlike Nickit, Thievul does not appear in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Utilize Pinap Berries to double your candy intake when catching Nickit. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit appearances can also help you gather enough candy before the event ends.
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 time to use Incense and visit local hotspots to catch plenty of Nickit and prepare for evolving them into Thievul.
Follow these steps, and you'll successfully add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
