Even though Pokemon Day 2025 has passed, The Pokemon Company continues to delight its fans with fresh events in *Pokemon GO*. The latest addition is the exciting opportunity to catch Kubfu, the adorable yet formidable Wushu Pokemon. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to secure Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO
The *Pokemon GO* community has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, since their debut in the *Pokemon Sword and Shield* DLC. The wait is finally over with the introduction of the Might and Mastery event, which not only brings new features to the game but also introduces Kubfu as the star attraction.
To get your hands on Kubfu, navigate to your Special Research tab and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, you'll find the challenges that need to be completed to encounter Kubfu. Here's a breakdown of the tasks:
| **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 |
Upon completing 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 your chance to catch Kubfu.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
For those who can't get enough of Kubfu, *Pokemon GO* offers the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass for $8. This pass unlocks additional tasks and the chance to encounter a second Kubfu. The rewards included with the pass are:
- 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 in the game, allowing you to complete them at your leisure.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
While Kubfu's charm is undeniable, competitive players are keen on evolving it into Urshifu. At the time of writing, evolving Kubfu into Urshifu is not possible within *Pokemon GO*. However, given that Urshifu is featured on the loading screen for the Might and Mastery event, there's a good chance that evolution mechanics will be introduced in future updates.
