The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event brings exciting opportunities to catch new Pokemon, including Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. Here’s your comprehensive guide to snagging these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.
The simplest way to add Nickit to your Pokedex is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen. Nickit is an uncommon encounter, so stay vigilant to not miss your chance to capture this sneaky Pokemon.
Another method to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from a 7 km egg. The Deep Depths event makes this even more appealing by halving the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator. This is a great option for those who can't spend all day walking.
For a more challenging approach, the Deep Depths event's Field Research requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" for a chance to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker way, consider purchasing the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two encounters with Nickit. The first comes after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the second after completing all missions.
Unlike Nickit, Thievul won't appear in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Boost your Candy collection by using Pinap Berries, which double the Candy you receive from each catch. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you spot nearby Nickit more easily, ensuring you gather enough Candy before the event ends.
