Author:Kristen Update:May 04,2025

Pokemon Day 2025 may have come and gone, but The Pokemon Company is still rolling out exciting events for its dedicated fanbase. The latest addition to *Pokemon GO* introduces a beloved and powerful Pokemon, Kubfu, to the game through the Might and Mastery event. This event has been eagerly awaited by players since the introduction of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC. Now, the opportunity to catch this adorable yet formidable Wushu Pokemon is finally here.

The Might and Mastery event is now live in *Pokemon GO*, bringing a host of new features and, most importantly, the chance to add Kubfu to your collection. To catch Kubfu, players need to navigate to the Special Research tab and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Here's a breakdown of the tasks you need to complete:

**Research Task****Reward**

Once you've completed these three quests, Kubfu will appear for you to catch, along with a reward of 891 XP. Keep in mind that the Special Research for Kubfu is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so make sure to complete the tasks before this deadline.

Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?

For those looking to add more than one Kubfu to their collection, *Pokemon GO* offers the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass for $8. This pass unlocks additional Research tasks, giving players the chance to catch a second Kubfu. The rewards for purchasing this pass include:

  • One Incense
  • Two Premium Battle Passes
  • One Star Piece
  • Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
  • A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu

The Fuzzy Fighter pass is available for purchase until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Once purchased, the tasks remain available, so there's no rush to complete them immediately.

Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?

While Kubfu is undoubtedly charming, many competitive players are curious about evolving it into Urshifu. As of now, evolving Kubfu into Urshifu isn't possible in *Pokemon GO*. However, given that Urshifu appears in the loading screen for the Might and Mastery event, there's a strong possibility that this feature will be added in future updates.

That's everything you need to know about catching Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*. For more, check out all the free item promo codes available for the game in March 2025.
