A new event in the mobile game *Pokemon GO* means the debut of some exciting new Pokemon. However, it's not always a walk in the park filling out the Pokedex. So, here's how to get your hands on Nickit and Thievul during the Deep Depths event in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Get Nickit in Pokemon GO
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
The first way to get Nickit in *Pokemon GO* is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, this Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon encounter. Keep your eyes peeled and consistently check your radar at the bottom right of the game to ensure you don't miss out on catching a wild Nickit.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
While the Deep Depths event is active, Nickit can hatch from 7 km eggs in *Pokemon GO*. To make life easier for those who can't spend all day walking, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the event is cut in half.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
The Deep Depths event Field Research asks you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to unlock an encounter with Nickit. If that sounds daunting, you can speed things up by spending a few dollars. The Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, which costs $1.99, guarantees two chances to catch Nickit. The first opportunity comes after completing the "Defeat a Team Go Rocket Grunt" task, and the second after finishing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Like most evolutions in *Pokemon GO*, Thievul won't be found in the wild. To evolve Nickit into Thievul, you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. Using Pinap Berries can double the amount of Candy you receive from each successful catch, helping you gather enough before the Deep Depths event ends. Setting alerts in your Pokedex can also help you spot wild Nickit nearby.

The event kicks off on March 19 and wraps up on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time. With a full weekend ahead, it's the perfect time to venture out to your local hotspots and use Incense.
