The arrival of a new event in the mobile game *Pokemon GO* brings with it the excitement of new Pokemon to catch, including Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. During the Deep Depths event, you have several ways to add these Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex. Let's dive into the details on how to secure Nickit and evolve it into Thievul.
Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO
The simplest method to get Nickit during the Deep Depths event is to catch it in the wild. As an uncommon encounter, you'll need to stay alert and keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen. This way, you won't miss the chance to encounter a wild Nickit.
Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO
Another avenue to obtain Nickit during the event is through hatching 7 km eggs. To make things more manageable for players, the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during the Deep Depths event is reduced by half, giving you a better chance to hatch a Nickit without endless walking.
Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO
For those willing to take on a challenge, the Deep Depths event's Field Research task requires you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" for a chance to encounter Nickit. If you're looking for a quicker route, you can purchase the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another after completing all missions.
How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO
Evolving Nickit into Thievul isn't as straightforward as catching one in the wild; you'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy. To speed up the process, use Pinap Berries to double the Candy you receive upon catching Nickit. Setting alerts in your Pokedex for wild Nickit appearances can also help ensure you don't miss any opportunities to gather the necessary Candy.
