Pokemon Day 2025 may have passed, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight its fans with new events. In *Pokemon GO*, a fresh event known as the Might and Mastery event is now live, introducing the beloved Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Since its debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC, players have eagerly awaited Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, to make their appearance in *Pokemon GO*. Now, they have their chance to add this powerful yet adorable Pokemon to their collection.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO

The Might and Mastery event brings exciting new features to *Pokemon GO*, but the highlight is undoubtedly the introduction of Kubfu. To catch this sought-after Pokemon, players should navigate to the Special Research tab and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, they'll find a series of challenges to complete. For those who want to get a head start, here's a rundown of the tasks and rewards:
**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 |
Completing these three quests will summon Kubfu, along with a reward of 891 XP. It's crucial to note that this Special Research opportunity ends on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss your chance to add Kubfu to your roster.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
For players who desire more than one Kubfu, *Pokemon GO* offers a solution with the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass. For $8, players can access additional tasks and have the chance to encounter a second Kubfu. The pass also provides:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes
- One Star Piece
- Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
- A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu
However, the Fuzzy Fighter pass is only available for purchase until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Once purchased, the tasks remain, allowing players to complete them at their leisure.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
While Kubfu is undeniably adorable, competitive players are keen to know if they can evolve it into Urshifu. Currently, it seems that evolution isn't possible, but given that Kubfu's evolution is featured on the Might and Mastery event's loading screen, there's a good chance this could change in the future.
