Pokémon GO: Catching Kubfu

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. 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 Special Research tasks found in the "Might and Mastery" section of your Special Research tab. Here's the breakdown:

Complete these tasks, and Kubfu will appear! You'll also earn 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 (for $8) offers more tasks and a chance to catch a second Kubfu. This pass includes:

• 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 until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. The tasks themselves will remain after purchase.

Can You Evolve Kubfu in Pokémon GO?

While Kubfu is undeniably cute, competitive players will want to know about its evolution, Urshifu. Currently, evolution isn't possible, but future updates might change this, especially given Kubfu's presence in the "Might and Mastery" event loading screen.

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