The latest event in *Pokemon GO*, known as the Deep Depths event, introduces new Pokemon to catch: Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here's your guide on how to add these elusive Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex during this exciting event.
How to Catch Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild
The first method to obtain Nickit in *Pokemon GO* during the Deep Depths event is by encountering it in the wild. As an uncommon spawn, you'll need to stay vigilant. Keep your radar on the bottom right of your screen active to spot Nickit and ensure you don't miss out on adding this Dark-type Pokemon to your collection.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg
During the event, Nickit can also be hatched from 7 km eggs. To help those who can't walk all day, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is halved, making it easier to hatch Nickit and add it to your team.
Getting Nickit Through Field Research
Another way to encounter Nickit is through the Deep Depths event Field Research. Completing the task of defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts will unlock a Nickit encounter. If you're looking for a quicker route, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two Nickit encounters: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.
How to Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Evolving Nickit into Thievul is the only way to obtain this Pokemon in *Pokemon GO*. You'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy to evolve one of your caught Nickits. To maximize your candy collection, use Pinap Berries to double the candy received from each successful catch. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you stay updated on nearby Nickit spawns.
