Pokémon GO: Catching Kubfu

Pokemon 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 Pokémon GO Might and Mastery event introduces the Wushu Pokémon. Many players have eagerly awaited Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, since their debut in the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC. Now's your chance! To catch Kubfu, complete the "Might and Mastery" Special Research tasks.

Completing these tasks will unlock a Kubfu encounter, along with 891 XP. But hurry! 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, plus these rewards:

• One Incense
• Two Premium Battle Passes
• One Star Piece
• Encounters with season-themed Pokémon
• A rare Dynamax Kubfu encounter

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, competitive trainers will want to know about its evolution, Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but future updates might change this, especially considering Kubfu's evolution is featured in the Might and Mastery event loading screen.

That’s how to get Kubfu in Pokémon GO. For more, check out the free item promo codes for March 2025.
