Pokemon Day 2025 may have come and gone, but The Pokemon Company still has plenty of surprises in store for its dedicated playerbase. One of the latest thrills is the introduction of a new event in *Pokemon GO* that brings the adorable yet powerful Kubfu into the game. Here's your complete guide on how to get Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How to Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO
The "Might and Mastery" event is currently live in *Pokemon GO*, introducing a host of exciting new features to the mobile game. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Fans have been eager to see Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, in *Pokemon GO* ever since their debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC. The wait is finally over, and all you need to do to get your hands on Kubfu is complete a few tasks.
To catch Kubfu, head over to the Special Research tab in *Pokemon GO* and navigate to the "Might and Mastery" section. Here's a rundown of the tasks you'll need to complete:
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 |
Once you've completed all three tasks, Kubfu will appear, ready for you to catch. You'll also earn 891 XP for adding this formidable Pokemon to your collection. Keep in mind that the Special Research is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss your chance to grab Kubfu.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
For those who crave more than one Kubfu, *Pokemon GO* has you covered with the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass. For just $8, you can unlock additional research tasks and the chance to catch a second Kubfu. Here's what the pass includes:
- 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 you've bought it, you'll have plenty of time to complete the tasks, but be sure to grab it before it disappears.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
While Kubfu is undeniably adorable, competitive players might be wondering about evolving it into Urshifu. At the time of writing, it seems that evolving Kubfu isn't an option in *Pokemon GO*. However, given that Kubfu's evolution is featured in the loading screen for the Mighty and Mastery event, it's likely that this feature will be added in the future.
And that's everything you need to know about getting Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*. For more *Pokemon GO* goodies, check out all the free item promo codes for March 2025.
