Pokémon Day 2025 may be over, but the surprises keep coming! A new event in *Pokémon GO* lets you catch the adorable and powerful Kubfu. Here's how.
How to Catch Kubfu in Pokémon GO
The Might and Mastery event in Pokémon GO introduces the Wushu Pokémon, Kubfu, highly anticipated since its Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC debut. To catch Kubfu, complete the Special Research tasks found in the "Might and Mastery" section of your Special Research tab. Here's the breakdown:
| 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 unlocks Kubfu and awards 891 XP. Remember, this Special Research ends June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
Want more than one Kubfu? The paid Fuzzy Fighter Special Research pass ($8) offers additional tasks and a chance to catch a second Kubfu, along with these rewards:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes
- One Star Piece
- Encounters with Season-themed Pokémon
- A rare encounter with a Dynamax Kubfu
This pass is available until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time, but the tasks remain accessible after purchase.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokémon GO?
While Kubfu is undeniably cute, many trainers will want to evolve it into Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but future updates are likely, especially given Kubfu's evolution is featured in the Might and Mastery event loading screen.
