Even though Pokemon Day 2025 has passed, The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with exciting new content. The latest event in *Pokemon GO* is the perfect example, introducing the adorable and powerful Kubfu to the game. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to catch Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
The Might and Mastery event is currently live in *Pokemon GO*, bringing a host of new features to the mobile game. The highlight, however, is the introduction of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu.

Now, the wait is over, and securing your own Kubfu is just a few tasks away.
To catch Kubfu, head to the Special Research tab and navigate to the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, you'll find all the challenges you need to complete. For those eager to plan ahead, here's the full list of tasks:

While Kubfu is undeniably cute, competitive players may be curious about evolving it into Urshifu. Currently, it doesn't seem possible to evolve Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*, but given that Urshifu is featured on the loading screen for the Mighty and Mastery event, future updates may change this.
