The three-hour Incense bonus excludes Daily Adventure Incense and the one-hour Lure bonus excludes Golden Lure Modules.

Features

Evolve Nickit during the event or up to four hours afterwards to get a Thievul that knows the Charged Attack Icy Wind.

Icy Wind (Ice-type)

  • Trainer Battles: 60 power and decreases the opposing Pokémon’s Attack by one stage
  • Gyms and raids: 60 power

Photobomb

Lure Module Bonus

From 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Nickit will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules.

Nickit attracted to regular Lure Modules will still have an increased chance to be Shiny and may have a Special Background. That’s more chances to encounter the featured Pokémon even after the event hours!

Spawns

Nickit will appear more frequently in the wild.

Nickit in the wild may also have a Special Background.
