The Might and Mastery season is gearing up for an explosive finale with the Go Battle Week, set to run from May 21st to 27th. This thrilling event will feature the debut of Urshifu and the mighty Gigantamax Machamp, offering players a final push toward mastery with a slew of new encounters, evolutions, and exciting bonuses.

During the event, your Kubfu can evolve into Urshifu, a pivotal moment in your journey. To achieve this, you'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and a strategic approach. Depending on whether you're aiming for Single Strike or Rapid Strike Urshifu, you'll need to defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. Choose wisely to tailor your gameplay to your preferred style.

The event includes a free Special Research that furthers the Might and Mastery storyline, rewarding you with Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and encounters with themed Pokémon like Charcadet sporting a Special Background. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to evolve classic battle favorites such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks, enhancing your battle arsenal.
