Although Pokémon Day 2025 has passed, The Pokémon Company continues to delight players with exciting events! A new event in Pokémon GO introduces the adorable and powerful Kubfu. Here's how to add this Wushu Pokémon to your team.
How to Catch Kubfu in Pokémon GO
The "Might and Mastery" event in Pokémon GO brings new features, but the highlight is undoubtedly Kubfu. Long awaited by players since its debut in the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC, Kubfu is now obtainable through a series of simple tasks.
To catch Kubfu, navigate to the Special Research tab and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. The challenges are straightforward:
| Research Task | Reward |
| Explore 3 km | 15 Poké Balls |
| Defeat 3 Team GO Rocket members | 5 Revives |
| Use a super-effective Charged Attack | Use a super-effective Charged Attack |
Completing these tasks will unlock an encounter with Kubfu, along with 891 XP. Remember, this Special Research is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
For trainers seeking multiple Kubfu, a paid Special Research option exists. The "Fuzzy Fighter" pass, priced at $8, offers additional Research tasks and a chance to catch a second Kubfu. This pass includes:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes
- One Star Piece
- Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
- A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu
Like the free Special Research, the "Fuzzy Fighter" pass has a limited-time availability, ending March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. However, the tasks themselves remain accessible after purchase.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
While Kubfu is undeniably charming, competitive players will want to know about its evolution, Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but future updates may introduce this feature, especially given Kubfu's presence on the "Might and Mastery" event loading screen.
