Pokemon Day 2025 may have come and gone, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with new events and surprises in *Pokemon GO*. The latest event, the Might and Mastery event, introduces the adorable yet formidable Kubfu to the mobile game. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to secure Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
The Might and Mastery event is currently live in *Pokemon GO*, bringing a host of exciting features, but the spotlight shines on the introduction of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, in the game ever since their debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC. Now, the wait is over, and players can embark on a series of tasks to catch Kubfu.
To catch Kubfu, navigate to the Special Research tab in *Pokemon GO* and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Completing the following tasks will lead you to an encounter with Kubfu:
Research Task | Reward |
Explore 3 km | 15 Poke Balls |
Defeat 3 Team GO Rocket members | 5 Revives |
Use a super effective Charged Attack | Use a super effective Charged Attack |
Upon completing these tasks, Kubfu will appear, and players will earn 891 XP upon adding it to their collection. Remember, the Special Research for Kubfu is available only until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss your chance to catch this unique Pokemon.
For those who crave more than one Kubfu, *Pokemon GO* offers a solution with the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass. Available for $8, this pass unlocks additional tasks and the opportunity to encounter a second Kubfu. The pass also includes the following rewards:
The Fuzzy Fighter pass is available for purchase until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. While the pass itself has a limited availability window, the tasks within it remain accessible after purchase, allowing players more time to complete them.
While Kubfu's cuteness is undeniable, competitive players are eager to know if they can evolve it into Urshifu. As of now, it appears that evolving Kubfu into Urshifu is not possible within *Pokemon GO*. However, given that Kubfu's evolution is featured on the loading screen for the Might and Mastery event, there's a strong likelihood that this feature will be introduced in future updates.
