"How to Obtain Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO"

The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event introduces exciting new Pokemon like Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. But, let's be real—completing your Pokedex is no easy task. So, here's your comprehensive guide to snagging these elusive creatures during the event.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

The thrill of the hunt begins with catching Nickit in the wild. As a Dark-type Pokemon, Nickit will be an uncommon sight during the Deep Depths event. Keep your eyes peeled and your radar active on the bottom right of your screen to spot these sneaky critters. It's all about staying vigilant and ready to pounce when you see one.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

For those who prefer a bit of mystery, hatching Nickit from a 7 km egg is another option. And here’s a bonus: during the event, the hatch distance for eggs in Incubators is halved, making your journey a lot smoother. So, keep those eggs rolling and your fingers crossed for a Nickit hatch.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

If you're up for a challenge, the Deep Depths event's Field Research task requires you to “defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts” to encounter Nickit. Not everyone's cup of tea? No worries. The Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, available for $1.99, offers two guaranteed Nickit encounters. The first comes after defeating a single Grunt, and the second after completing all missions. It’s a handy shortcut if you’re short on time or energy.

How To Get Thievul in Pokemon GO

Evolving Nickit into Thievul is your next goal, but don't expect to find Thievul roaming freely in the wild. You'll need to collect 50 Nickit Candy to evolve one of your caught Nickits. To speed up the process, use Pinap Berries to double your Candy haul with each successful catch. Don’t forget to set alerts in your Pokedex for nearby Nickit sightings to ensure you don’t miss any opportunities.
