The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon, Nickit and Thievul, to your Pokedex. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive creatures during the event.
The simplest way to add Nickit to your collection is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokemon becomes an uncommon encounter. Keep your eyes peeled and regularly check your radar in the bottom right corner of the game to spot Nickit before it slips away.
Another method to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. The Deep Depths event makes this easier by halving the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event, so you can hatch Nickit without spending all day walking.
The event's Field Research tasks you with defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to encounter Nickit. If you're not up for the challenge, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two chances to catch Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.
Unlike Nickit, Thievul won't be found roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the Candy you receive from each catch, helping you reach the required amount before the event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit appearances can also streamline your search.
The Deep Depths event starts on March 19 and concludes on March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend to explore, it's the perfect opportunity to visit local hotspots and use Incense to attract more Nickit. By the end of the event, you'll be well on your way to adding both Nickit and Thievul to your team.
That's your guide to catching Nickit and evolving it into Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*. For more tips, check out the full Ditto disguise list for March 2025.
