Nickit (Japanese: クスネ, Hepburn: Kusune) (NICK-it^[1]) is a dark-type introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Nickit is a fox-like Pokémon with a slender body and a large head relative to its body size. It has long, black ears, white spots on its head that resemble eyebrows, markings around its eyes that make it look like it's wearing a mask, and yellow eyes. It also has small white dots around its mask. Nickit has tuffs of fur on both sides of its head. It has a white belly and chest; the rest of the fur is an orange-maroon. Its feet are black and its tail is long, has a black tip, and resembles a sack of stolen items.

Behavior[]

Nickit are cautious Pokémon that steal food from others. They silently raid food stores and take off with their meals, erasing their tracks with their tails and leaving no sign of their presence. They diet on food stolen from other Pokémon and humans, sometimes including Pokémon Eggs.

Purrloin is their rival, while Boltund is their natural enemy.

Natural Abilities[]

Their foot pads are extremely soft and create very little sound when moving.

Evolution[]

Nickit evolves in Thievul at level 18

Trivia[]

• Nickit and its evolution share their category with Vulpix, Ninetales, Fennekin, Braixen and Delphox. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.
• It is the second dark type fox line after Zorua.

Origin[]

Nickit is based on a red fox kit. Its tail resembles a sack of stolen items. Its face resembles stereotypical depictions of burglars and may also draw inspiration from the Guy Fawkes mask. While walking, it dusts the ground behind, referencing the practice of burglars cleaning their steps behind them in order to not get caught.

Etymology[]

Nickit is a combination of nick (meaning to steal) and kit (a baby fox). It might also be a pun on "Nick it" meaning "to steal". The "nick" in its name may also allude to Nick Wilde, a fox character from the 2016 Disney movie Zootopia who starts off as a con artist.

Kusune comes from 葛練る (kusuneru, to steal) and 狐 (kitsune, fox).

Names in other languages[]

• Chinese: 狡小狐 (Jiǎoxiǎohú mainland) / 偷兒狐 (Tōuérhú HK & Taiwan)
• French: Goupilou
• German: Kleptifux
• Japanese: クスネ (Kusune)
