How To Get Nickit and Thievul in Pokemon GO

If you want to add both Nickit and Thievul to your Pokedex in Pokemon GO, here's how to catch them in the mobile game.

A new event in the mobile game Pokemon GO means the debut of some 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 to catch it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, the Dark-type Pokemon will be an uncommon encounter. You’ll need to keep your head on a swivel and consistently check your radar on 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. And 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 being 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. That’s no small feat, so if you’re not up for it, you can spend a few dollars to expedite the process.

The Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, which costs $1.99, guarantees two chances to catch Nickit. The first arrives after completing the “Defeat a Team Go Rocket Grunt” task, and the other comes after completing all of the missions.
