The excitement of a new event in *Pokemon GO* brings with it the chance to catch Nickit and its evolution, Thievul, during the Deep Depths event. Here's a detailed guide on how to add these elusive Dark-type Pokemon to your Pokedex before the event wraps up.

Catching Nickit in the Wild in Pokemon GO

The first method to snag Nickit is by catching it in the wild. During the Deep Depths event, Nickit becomes an uncommon encounter. Stay alert and keep an eye on your radar at the bottom right of the screen to not miss out on these fleeting opportunities to catch a wild Nickit.

Hatching Nickit From an Egg in Pokemon GO

Another way to obtain Nickit during the event is by hatching it from 7 km eggs. To aid players who can't spend all day walking, the event reduces the hatch distance for eggs placed in an Incubator by half, making it easier to hatch Nickit.

Getting Nickit From Field Research in Pokemon GO

The Deep Depths event includes Field Research tasks that require you to "defeat two Team Go Rocket Grunts" to earn an encounter with Nickit. If you find this task challenging, you can opt for the Deep Depths Premium Timed Research Ticket, available for $1.99. This ticket guarantees two encounters with Nickit: one after defeating a Team Go Rocket Grunt and another upon completing all missions.
