Author:Kristen Update:May 13,2025

This season is set to conclude with an explosive finale. Mark your calendars for the Go Battle Week, running from May 21st to 27th, culminating in the Gigantamax Max Battle Day on May 25th. The Final Strike: Go Battle Week promises to end the Might and Mastery season on a high note, featuring the debut of Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp. This event is your last chance to push toward mastery, offering a plethora of new encounters, evolutions, and bonuses.

During this week, your Kubfu can evolve into Urshifu. To do so, you'll need 200 Kubfu Candy and a strategic approach. Depending on the style you're aiming for, you must defeat 30 Dark-type or 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles while Kubfu is your buddy. Both Single Strike and Rapid Strike Urshifu are available, so choose wisely.

The event includes free Special Research that continues the Might and Mastery storyline, providing more Kubfu Candy, Mysterious Components, and themed encounters like Charcadet with a Special Background. You'll also have the opportunity to evolve classic battle favorites such as Mankey, Seel, and Froakie into Pokémon with exclusive attacks.
