The excitement of Pokemon Day 2025 may have faded, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight its fans with fresh content. Currently, *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts can participate in a thrilling new event to add the adorable yet formidable Kubfu to their collection. Here's a detailed guide on how to catch Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO

The Might and Mastery event is now live in *Pokemon GO*, introducing a range of exciting new features. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Since its debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC, fans have eagerly awaited its arrival in *Pokemon GO*. Now, with the Might and Mastery event, you can finally add Kubfu—and potentially its evolution, Urshifu—to your team.
To catch Kubfu, navigate to your Special Research tab and find the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, you'll encounter a series of challenges designed to earn you the chance to meet Kubfu. For those eager to prepare, here's a complete list of the tasks:
| **Research Task** | **Reward** |
| Explore 3 km | 15 Poke Balls |
| Defeat 3 Team GO Rocket members | 5 Revives |
| Use a supereffective Charged Attack | Use a super effective Charged Attack |
Once you've successfully completed these three quests, Kubfu will make its appearance, and you'll earn 891 XP as you add this unique Pokemon to your collection. Remember, the Special Research is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss out on this limited-time opportunity to catch Kubfu.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
For those who crave more than one Kubfu, *Pokemon GO* offers the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass for $8. This pass unlocks additional research tasks and the chance to catch a second Kubfu. The rewards for the Fuzzy Fighter pass include:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes
- One Star Piece
- Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
- A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu
However, time is of the essence; the Fuzzy Fighter pass is available for purchase only until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Once purchased, the tasks remain accessible, allowing you more time to complete them at your leisure.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
While Kubfu's adorable appearance is a delight, competitive players are keen to evolve it into Urshifu. Currently, evolution into Urshifu is not available in *Pokemon GO*, but given the hints in the Might and Mastery event's loading screen, future updates may change this. Stay tuned for potential updates on Kubfu's evolution capabilities.
