For many, Sneasel is the most common Pokémon in this featured group, but it is also a fantastic Pokémon to focus on and attempt to catch. Its final evolution, Weavile, is a favorite of ours for three and five-star raids and a great Pokémon to use against other players in the Battle League. An excuse to add this Pokémon to your collection is always a great idea, especially an event where you have additional chances to earn Candy for it.

The same goes for Murkrow, who has a great final evolution, Honchkrow. It might not be as powerful as our other favorite Dark and Flying-type Pokémon, Mandibuzz, but Honchkrow is a great choice if you need another raid partner choice to round out the rest of your team.

The other Pokémon, unfortunately, are not significant must-haves. Even though Nickit is a new Pokémon, it’s final evolution, Thievul, is not an impressive Pokémon. You mostly want to catch this Pokémon once to add it to your PokéDex, and then move on. We don’t expect to use this Pokémon in the Battle League or raids. It doesn’t have the best stats and has a subpar moveset that we don’t see being useful in Pokémon Go. Still, catching it at least once and evolving it is a good idea.

You have until the end of the Deep Depths event to complete this Collection Challenge. Similar to the Sea-volution Collection Challenge, you’ll add another badge to your profile for finishing it.
