Pokemon Day 2025 may have passed, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with exciting new content. A fresh event in *Pokemon GO* introduces the adorable yet formidable Kubfu to the game. Here's your guide on how to catch Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO

The Might and Mastery event is currently live in Pokemon GO, bringing a host of new features to the mobile game. The highlight, however, is the much-anticipated arrival of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Fans have eagerly awaited the inclusion of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, ever since their debut in the Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC. Now, the wait is over, and you can secure your own Kubfu by completing a few tasks.
To catch Kubfu, navigate to the Special Research tab in Pokemon GO and locate 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 |
Upon completing these three quests, Kubfu will appear, and you'll earn 891 XP as you add this Pokemon to your collection. 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 want more than one Kubfu, Pokemon GO offers the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass for $8. This pass unlocks additional Research tasks, giving you the chance to catch a second Kubfu. Here are the rewards included 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 accessible, so there's no rush to complete them immediately.
Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
Kubfu is undeniably cute, but competitive players are keen to know if they can evolve it into Urshifu. Currently, it seems that evolution isn't possible, but given that Kubfu's evolution is featured on the Might and Mastery event's loading screen, it's likely that this feature will be added in the future.
And that's how you can get Kubfu in Pokemon GO. For more, check out all the free item promo codes for the mobile game in March 2025.
