The excitement is palpable with the launch of the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*, bringing with it the opportunity to catch the elusive Nickit and its evolved form, Thievul. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to add these Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex during this thrilling event.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

Your first shot at catching Nickit is out in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter, so you'll need to stay vigilant. Keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen to spot these sneaky critters as they pop up in your vicinity.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

If you prefer a bit of surprise, you can hatch Nickit from 7 km eggs during the event. To help you hatch them faster, 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 hours walking around.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

Another avenue to secure a Nickit is through the event's Field Research. Complete the task of defeating two Team Go Rocket Grunts to earn a chance to encounter this Pokemon. If you're looking for a shortcut, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and another upon completing all missions.

How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO

Unlike Nickit, you won't find Thievul roaming in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Make the most of your catches by using Pinap Berries to double your Candy haul. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for Nickit sightings can also give you a heads-up when one is nearby, helping you gather the necessary Candy before the event wraps up.
