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.
The "Might and Mastery" event in Pokémon GO introduces the Wushu Pokémon, Kubfu, a highly anticipated addition since its debut in the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC. 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 |
Upon completion, Kubfu will appear! You'll also earn 891 XP. Remember, this Special Research is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time.
Want more than one Kubfu? The paid "Fuzzy Fighter" Special Research pass (for $8) offers additional tasks and a chance to catch a second Kubfu, along with these rewards:
This pass is available until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. The tasks themselves remain after purchase, so no rush to complete them.
While Kubfu is undeniably cute, competitive trainers will want to know about its evolution, Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but future updates may change this, especially considering Kubfu's evolution is featured in the event's loading screen.
That's how to get Kubfu in Pokémon GO! For more, check out all the free item promo codes for March 2025.
