The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces exciting new Pokemon, including Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here's your guide to adding these elusive creatures to your Pokedex during the event.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
To catch Nickit in the wild, you'll need to be on the lookout during the Deep Depths event. This Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon encounter, so keep your eyes peeled and frequently check your radar in the bottom right corner of the game screen. This way, you won’t miss out on any opportunities to capture a wild Nickit.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs during the event. Fortunately, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is halved, making it easier for those who can't spend all day walking to still get their hands on Nickit.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The event's Field Research offers a task to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts," which, upon completion, rewards you with an encounter with Nickit. This task can be challenging, but if you're willing to invest, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket ensures two chances to catch Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all the missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Evolving Nickit into Thievul is your only option, as Thievul won't appear in the wild. To evolve Nickit, you need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Use Pinap Berries to double the Candy you receive from each successful catch, helping you reach the required amount by the end of the event. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit sightings can also be beneficial.
