Pokemon Day 2025 may have passed, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with new events. In *Pokemon GO*, a fresh event has just kicked off, introducing the adorable yet powerful Kubfu to the game. Here's your guide to catching Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO
The Might and Mastery event is now live in Pokemon GO, bringing with it a host of exciting new features. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the introduction of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, since they were first introduced in the Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC. Now, the wait is finally over, and you can add Kubfu to your collection by completing a series of tasks.
To catch Kubfu, head to the Special Research tab in Pokemon GO and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, you'll find the challenges you need to complete. For a quick overview, here's the full list of 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 |
Once you've completed all three tasks, Kubfu will appear, and you'll earn 891 XP as you add this 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 want more than one Kubfu, Pokemon GO has you covered with the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass. For $8, you can unlock additional Research tasks and the opportunity to catch a second Kubfu. Here are the rewards you'll receive 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 purchased, the tasks remain in the game, giving you ample time to complete them.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
Kubfu is undeniably cute, but for competitive players, evolving it into Urshifu is a major goal. Currently, it doesn't appear possible to evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO. However, given that Kubfu's evolution is featured in the loading screen for the Mighty and Mastery event, there's a good chance this feature will be added in the future.
And that's how to get Kubfu in Pokemon GO. For more rewards, check out all the free item promo codes for the mobile game in March 2025.
