The *Pokemon GO* Deep Depths event brings with it the exciting debut of Nickit and its evolution, Thievul. For those eager to complete their Pokedex, here's your guide on how to capture these elusive Dark-type Pokemon during the event.

How to Get Nickit in Pokemon GO

Catching Nickit in the Wild

During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter in the wild. To increase your chances of catching one, keep a close eye on your radar located at the bottom right of the screen. This will help you spot Nickit before it disappears.

Hatching Nickit from an Egg

Another way to obtain Nickit is by hatching it from a 7 km egg. The event makes it easier for players by halving the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator during this period, making it more feasible to hatch Nickit without extensive walking.

Getting Nickit from Field Research

The Deep Depths event includes Field Research tasks that require you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to encounter Nickit. If this task seems daunting, you can opt for the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket for $1.99, which guarantees two encounters with Nickit. The first encounter is unlocked after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt, and the second after completing all missions.
