Even though Pokemon Day 2025 has passed, The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with exciting new content. The latest event in *Pokemon GO* introduces an adorable yet powerful Pokemon, Kubfu, into the mix. Here's your guide to adding Kubfu to your *Pokemon GO* collection.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO
The Might and Mastery event is currently underway in *Pokemon GO*, bringing a host of new features to the game. The highlight, however, is the introduction of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Since its debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC, fans have eagerly awaited its arrival in *Pokemon GO*. Now, the wait is over, and all you need to do is complete a few tasks to claim your Kubfu.
To get your hands on Kubfu, head to the Special Research tab 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 supereffective Charged Attack | Use a super effective Charged Attack |
Once you've completed these tasks, Kubfu will appear, and you'll earn 891 XP upon catching it. Remember, the Special Research is available only until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss your chance to catch 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 $8, you can access additional Research tasks and the chance to catch a second Kubfu. Here are the rewards you'll get with the pass:
- 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 you've bought it, you can take your time completing the tasks, as they won't disappear after the purchase window closes.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
While Kubfu is incredibly cute, competitive players might be curious about evolving it into Urshifu. Currently, it seems that evolution is not possible, but given that Kubfu’s evolution is featured on the loading screen for the Might and Mastery event, it’s likely that this feature will be introduced in the future.
That wraps up how to get Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*. For more, check out the free item promo codes for the game in March 2025.
