How to Obtain Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO* introduces exciting new Pokemon like Nickit and Thievul, but snagging them for your Pokedex isn't always straightforward. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to catch these elusive critters during the event.

How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

To encounter Nickit in *Pokemon GO*, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for this Dark-type Pokemon in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon find, so make sure to regularly check your radar in the bottom right corner of the game to spot one before it slips away.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another way to get your hands on Nickit is through hatching 7 km eggs. With the Deep Depths event in full swing, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator is halved, making it easier to hatch Nickit even if you're short on time for walking.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

For those up for a challenge, the Deep Depths event's Field Research task requires you to defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts, rewarding you with a chance to encounter Nickit. If you're looking to bypass the battle, 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 its pre-evolution, Thievul won't be roaming the wild in *Pokemon GO*. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to gather 50 Nickit Candy. Boost your Candy collection by using Pinap Berries to double the Candy yield from each successful catch. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you stay updated on nearby Nickit spawns, ensuring you don't miss out on any opportunities to gather more Candy before the event ends.
