Pokémon GO has exciting news for trainers: the Deep Depths event will showcase the first appearances of Nickit and Thievul. This new phase follows the onset of the Might and Mastery season, which began on March 4 and will continue until June 3.
The Might and Mastery season ushers in a highly anticipated era within the game, featuring the release of new Dynamax Legendaries like Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, alongside some Gigantamax debuts. Aside from legendary additions, Niantic has recently announced the introduction of additional Gen 8 Pokémon to keep the community engaged.
Deep Depths Event: Introduction of Nickit and Thievul
The upcoming Deep Depths event is scheduled to run from March 19 to March 24. During this time, players can expect to see Nickit in wild encounters and hatching from 7 km eggs. Thievul, the evolved form of Nickit, will require 50 Nickit candies for evolution. However, it’s noteworthy that shiny variants of Nickit will not be introduced during this occurrence. In an exciting twist, players will have enhanced odds of hatching shiny Clauncher, with decreased egg hatch distance during this event window.
The Deep Depths event follows the recent introduction of Kubfu, another eagerly awaited Gen 8 Pokémon. Fans are eager to explore exciting content that Niantic continues to bring to the game.
