The Ultimate Season Finale: Final Strike Event

The Might and Mastery season reaches its climax with the Final Strike: Go Battle Week, featuring the highly anticipated debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp. Running from May 21st to 27th, this spectacular finale rewards trainers' dedication with exciting encounters, exclusive evolutions, and valuable bonuses.

Evolving Kubfu into Urshifu

Trainers can finally evolve their Kubfu into the formidable Urshifu, though the process requires preparation. You'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and must complete specific challenges - defeat either 30 Dark-type Pokémon (for Single Strike Style) or 30 Water-type Pokémon (for Rapid Strike Style) in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy.

Event Bonuses & Exclusive Content

The free Special Research continues the Might and Mastery narrative, offering additional Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and unique encounters including a special Charcadet variant. The event also provides opportunities to evolve fan-favorite Pokémon like Mankey, Seel, and Froakie with exclusive moves.

Trainers looking for enhanced experiences can purchase:

• $1.99 Timed Research: Includes 2 Premium Battle Passes, Lucky Eggs, and themed encounters
